Testing anxiety can cause students undue stress and often is the result of poor scores. This resource provides helpful tools for teachers, counselors, and parents who want to prepare children for standardized and other tests.

Begin by reading the eye-opening story in which Tyler, using tips learned from his basketball coach, manages to "tame the testing tiger" by applying successful sports strategies to the testing situation. Then, to reinforce what was learned in the story, reproduce the ten Test Prep cards for students to post as reminders. Also included is a reproducible helpful parent article.
