Test-Taking Strategies

1. Be well rested and eat a nutritious breakfast before the test.

2. Review the material before the test is handed out.

3. Read all the directions carefully before answering any questions.

4. Pace yourself so that you'll have time to finish the test.

5. Don't spend too much time on one question. Skip it and come back
to it later if time allows.

6. Sometimes it's better to make your best guess on a question rather
than leave it blank.

7. Write your answers clearly and erase mistakes completely.

8. Check your answers before you turn in your paper.

9. Your first instinct is often correct. Change your answer only if you
are certain it should be changed.

10. Relax! Stay calm and do your best.
