AIMS Tips for Students

• Arrive early for tests

• Please Print Confirmation of AIMS Test registration page and bring it with you to each test.

• If you need to change your registration before the day of the test, you may do so by logging back into aims.primaveratech.org.

• Visit the ADE website and practice some AIMS sample tests. STUDY GUIDES are available on the following website: http://www.ade.state.az.us/standards/aims/

• Additional AIMS resources can be found at http://aims1.ideal.asu.edu/

• Be physically prepared. Get plenty of rest the night before.

• Be mentally prepared. Try to relax and do your best.

• Eat a good breakfast the morning of the test.

• Drink a cup of coffee, tea, orange juice or a soft drink the morning of the test. Students need something to help make them alert.

• Be comfortable but alert
  Choose a good spot and make sure you have enough room to work, maintain comfortable posture but don't "slouch"
• Stay relaxed and confident
• Listen to directions as the teacher explains them. Ask about any directions you do not understand.

• Read the directions carefully.

• Look for key words that will help you identify what the question is asking you to do.

• Take your time and work at your own pace. AIMS is not a timed test, but you do want to use your time well.

• Move on to the next item if you are stuck. Be sure to return to it later.

• Answer all the questions
