Wow, thank you all so much for your responses. I guess it just makes it clear how hard it is to find the line between easing a child's anxiety so they are comfortable enough to show what they know and doing test prep that will then artificially raise the scores. I think we will have to just repeat A LOT that it is ok if she doesn't know the answers. She is a rule follower though and read something somewhere in the info. they sent about getting extra sample tests from a guidance counselor and now thinks she "must" do that. I appreciate your feedback. Very curious to see how it all works out!
