To ensure that your child does his/her best work, make sure that you stay on a normal schedule, ensure normal bedtime, and try your best to have an upbeat, relaxed breakfast/morning.  Encourage your child to do his/her best on the exams, without making your child nervous or anxious about them.  Your child has been well prepared and I am hopeful that they are ready to show how much learning that they have done this year!
