Most standardized tests--including the K-Prep--are timed tests. Once the time is up, it's up! So it's really important to practice timed testing situations throughout the year so students are accustomed to them.
It's really easy to practice timed situations regularly in a formative assessment situation. Just do it in shorter increments and build up to longer increments. This type of practice should happen in a non-stressed way so students can practice without fear of it affecting their grades.
Start timing students in bell-ringer activities, and then move timing to other in-class activities. By test time, students should be used to being timed, so they should be more prepared for timed situations!
