    I like to cover every standard briefly because I know some of my higher students will catch on quickly, but I spend the majority of the time reviewing core concepts that students are close to mastering.

    Thank you for the great tips! This eased my mind a lot. I am a week and a half from testing and haven't done big "prep" but rather just some spiral review during our extra time block.

    These are all such great tips and you seriously do an amazing job explaining! It's so important not to totally disrupt your classroom routines just for test prep and neglect students' emotional needs.

    You are so sweet! Thank you for this comment, April! It's so easy to skip right over students' emotional needs this time of year!
