How to Prepare Your Child for the M-STEP Test
2. Tell your child you believe in them and praise them when they work hard at things.
3. Do your best to have them get a good night's sleep before the test.
4. Tell them to work hard on the test and to take it seriously. If you think they are prone to worry about it then maybe skip this.
5. Encourage your child to relax and remain positive.
