For Parents
Addressing the Emotional Impact
The crowding and presence of authorities at test centres was overwhelming for many children. Before resuming preparation, it's important to:
- Talk openly with your child about their feelings about what happened
- Reassure them that the disruption wasn't their fault
- Frame the rescheduled test as a fresh opportunity
- Return to preparation only if and when they feel ready

Questions About Moving Forward
My child was upset by the crowds and disruption. How should we approach preparation now?
Start by acknowledging their feelings and reassuring them. When they're ready, OCTestPrep offers a pressure-free environment to maintain their skills from home, at their own pace. This can help rebuild confidence gradually.
How can we maintain the preparation level without causing more stress?
OCTestPrep recommends shorter, consistent practice sessions (30-40 minutes, 2-3 times weekly) rather than intensive cramming. Our adaptive system ensures practice remains at the right level of challenge without overwhelming your child.
Will my child feel comfortable in the test environment after what happened?
Repeated exposure to our simulated test environment helps reduce anxiety about the actual test day. By maintaining familiarity with the test format and questions, your child can focus on the content rather than uncertainties about the environment.
