MIR (Most Important Rules) Of the NJ ASK

   The biggest standardized testing of the U.S.A. is called the NJ ASK (New Jersey Assessment of skills and knowledge)  Even though this test can be nerve racking and stressful, there are a few things that can help make the NJ ASK less intense for you.
   The first thing to remember about taking the NJ ASK is that you need to get a lot of sleep/rest the night before each testing session.  You need to get at least 10 hrs. and 30 min. of sleep.  You need to be alert and focus when you take the test.  You won't pass if you dose off and fall asleep during the testing session.  Getting the right amount of sleep will help you stay focused and concentrated on your work and you won't fall asleep.
   The second rule to help you take the NJ ASK is have a big, healthy breakfast.  You need to have a good breakfast so you won't get hungry during testing which can take up to 1 hr. and 30 min.  As they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day and it is.  Studies show that kids who eat bigger healthier breakfasts score better on tests that kids who don't.
   There is still a lot more handy helpers to go.  Number three, if you finish the test early don't sit down and do nothing; go back and check all work until the testing time is over.  This is one of the most important things to do when taking the NJ ASK.  You should go back and check your work if you still have extra time because you never know if you get something wrong unless you go back and look it over.  After you have checked your work you should be very confident in saying that you got a perfect score in that section.  It doesn't kill you you to go back and look over the work you have done.  You should be very confident about what you wrote or answered on the test.
   In my opinion these tips and helpers are every handy to me when I take the NJ ASK or any test.  I hope you these will help you as well.  Happy Testing!!  Good Luck!!
