As a student, it can be extremely stressful around state testing time. You may have not gotten your 8 hours of sleep, maybe didn't eat breakfast, or some just fold under pressure and let the test BEAT THEM. Now the difference between excellence and mediocrity, are the habits and techniques utilized to maximize your potential and give it your all! Most times we look at tests with faces of sadness and despair. What we don't know though, is that our attitudes towards the test can reflect by our grades. Now I wonder how that would change if we fixed our outlooks on tests more positively. Think about the benefits of taking test, working your brain, building self-discipline, etc. Now I sometimes too doubt myself when it comes to standardized exams like the TN Ready, but its all about your attitude going into it, be determined to perform highest you can. Be the blueprint and example those around you look up too. Always remember that LEADERS exceed the expectations.

Determination is setting a purpose and not letting obstacles get the best of you. If you want to reach your goals, you need to think in a positive way. That means whenever you want to reach a goal you have to work hard and not give up. Sure, you will run into challenges, but we should use those challenges to make us stronger and more determined. Persistence would be the key to reaching your goals. Are you determined to exceed your expectations for the TCAP? It is not too late to study, listen in class, and set your goals. Let us all be determined to do our best for the state test!

Not enough can be said about this woman right here. As we move into testing season, this paper would like to recognize the dedication and hard work put in by our Chief of Schools and LPCS' own Building Testing Coordinator (BTC). As a BTC, Mrs. Hicks makes sure that all scholars, K-8, are able to complete their TCAP assessments and show their brilliance. We salute you Mrs. Hicks and thank you for all your hard work!
