End-of-grade tests: Everything you need to know about these annual exams
It's that time of year when your child will be taking end-of-grade tests or EOGs. What are EOGs and how can you help them be better prepared?
Posted — UpdatedAs another school year draws to a close, kids of all ages are anxiously awaiting summer vacation. But before the final bell rings, students in elementary and middle school have one last hurdle to leap: The state’s End-of-Grade tests.
What are the EOGs?
If you have children in these grades, here’s what you need to know.
What happens if you don't pass the EOGs?
How can you prepare your child for the EOGs?
The EOGs focus on material students have been taught and tested on all year. In addition, many teachers ensure that students are prepared for the EOGs by reviewing concepts and sharing strategies for taking multiple-choice exams. While teachers typically don’t recommend that students spend extra time studying for the EOGs, some parents may decide to help their children prepare.
At the very least, know your child’s EOG schedule to ensure he or she is well-rested, has a good breakfast and is on time to school that day. Encourage your child to do their best, and remind them to answer all test questions and not leave any blank, even if they’re unsure of the answer.
