GMAS Dates and Resources

Please have your child at school on time. Rushing and worrying about being late could affect performance on the tests. 

Be certain your child gets plenty of sleep and has a healthy breakfast. Taking tests is hard work and requires a lot of energy.

Encourage students to follow directions carefully, avoid careless errors, and review work
