Need sugg. for ADD child

I have a child who is very up and down on his assessments. I am looking for strategies to help him stay focused while he is taking his tests..especially his upcoming ELA.

Any thoughts? TIA

Edited to say..lol he is not mine..he is my student..:)

do you have a school psychologist that you could talk to? When we have students with test anxiety, ours will work with them.

Is he diagnosed with ADD? or just distracted?
You could try putting something on his desk to remind him to focus, like picture of a child working or implement a behavior chart. Whatever you decide will have to be implemented throughout the day to help with his behavior.
If it's just test related anxiety, I would work with him on test taking strategies and relaxation techniques. HTH
