Description:

Tips for helping your child(ren) prepare for the GMAS.

Keep Things Calm

  • Avoid last-minute studying—it can increase anxiety.

  • Do something relaxing as a family (board games, a movie, etc.).

Get Plenty of Sleep

  • Aim for 8–10 hours of sleep depending on age. A rested brain works better!

Start the Day Early

  • Avoid rushing. Have plenty of time for a calm breakfast and getting ready.

Eat a Nutritious Breakfast

  • Include protein, whole grains, and some fruit (e.g., eggs + toast + banana).

Use Positive Encouragement

  • Say something like: "You've prepared, and I believe in you!" instead of "You have to do well!"

Normalize Nerves

  • Let them know it’s okay to be nervous—it means they care.

Keep Perspective

  • Remind them one test doesn't define their intelligence or worth.

Celebrate Effort

  • Regardless of the outcome, praise their hard work and dedication.
