TEST TAKING TIPS!

  • THINK POSITIVE! Say to yourself, “I will perform well on this test because I am prepared.” Take some deep breaths and visualize your success.
  • Read ALL directions carefully before you begin.
  • Know the point system for grading.
  • Give the most time to the big point questions.
  • Skim over all questions: Do the easiest ones first. Leave the one’s you are unsure of for last
  • .Be careful about making changes. Your first hunch is usually correct. Only change it if you feel strongly about the corrected answer.
  • For essay questions, create an outline. Use “Who, What, Where, When, and How” as the guidelines for your answers.
  • Set aside time at the end: Read over your answers. Check for errors.The next day, start preparing for the next test by keeping up with all readings and assignments!! 🙂
  • Always get a good nights rest (8 hours) the night before your test and eat a good balanced breakfast the morning of your test.
  • GOOD LUCK!!
