Essential
Test-Taking Advice
Try
out these strategies while you’re still in high school, and by the time you get
to college, you’ll be a test-taking expert.
Before
The Test.
Eat
well.
Studies
show that you need good nutrition to concentrate and perform your best.
Bring
the right supplies.
Bring
your pencils, erasers, pens, rulers, compasses, calculators or whatever else
you need on test day.
Review
the whole test before you start.
See
how many sections and what types of questions are on the test. Determine how
much time to allow for completing each section.
Jot
down your first thoughts.
During
your first scan of the test, make quick notes about your thoughts. For example,
you may want to outline your answers to written-response and essay questions
right away.
During
the test.
Read
the directions.
It’s
important that you follow the instructions exactly. For example, some questions
may have more than one correct answer.
Answer easy questions
first.
Doing
this can jog your memory about useful facts. You may also come across
information that can help you with other questions.
Answer every question.
Unless
there is a penalty for wrong answers, try to answer every question; you may be
able to get partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete correctly
Ask Questions
If
a question isn’t clear, talk to your teacher. If that’s not possible, explain
your answer in the margin
Identify Key Words
This
helps you focus on the main idea of challenging questions
