PSSA Prep season was kicked off today, as we begin our 25 day count down to the test! Be on the look out for preparation tips that will be posted throughout the coming weeks, Special SuperBucks, the Annual Door Decorating Contest and updates from the PSSA BUZY Bee!

PSSA PREP Tip:

  • BEE Physically Ready:
    • Get a good night’s sleep before the test. This should take priority over entertainment options. 
    • The morning of the test, eat a breakfast that includes protein: eggs, bacon, peanut butter, cheese, yogurt, tofu, etc. 
    • BE ON TIME. Stretch during testing breaks .
  • BEE Mentally Prepared:
    •  Being nervous or not caring, ruins your performance. 
    • Remember, the passages were not chosen to entertain you. 
    • Keep yourself engaged through active reading, highlighting, and writing margin notes. 
    • Be competitive with the test makers, not intimidated by them.
