options for stressed AS dd for state-mandated all students academic testing?

[Guest guest]

My daughter stresses to the point of crying/meltdowns/can't think clearly

whenever faced with tests--especially timed ones. In third grade, all students

are required to take a series of tests to monitor the state's status in meeting

the current 'standards'. She gets soooo worried about not getting everything

right and the other kids telling her she's dumb or something. Any thoughts on

how I can comfort her or is there something your school did to help your

son/daughter work their way through this testing? Thanks! -Kari
