MEAP Tips for Parents

Parents can make an invaluable contribution to improved MEAP scores by helping your son/daughter come to school on MEAP days prepared for success.

• Make sure your child is well rested.

• Make sure your child is not hungry.  High protein meals are recommended.

• Students should prepare by reviewing learning in the academic areas to be tested.

• Students should come to the MEAP tests relaxed, but also understanding the importance of staying on task and doing their best.

• Avoid scheduling medical, dental, or other appointments on MEAP days.  Research shows students do better when tested with their class than in a make-up session.
