    Before the Test
     Get a good nights sleep – 8 hours
     Go to bed on time the night before
     Food – Eat fruits and vegetables
     Don’t take the test on an empty
    stomach
     Don’t eat a heavy meal
     Don’t eat junk food or candy
    Before the Test
     Approach the exam with confidence
    – use your “passing pencil”
     Don’t doubt yourself
     Think Positive!!
    General Strategies
     Maintain upright posture – don’t slouch over
    your test
     Take your time – there is no reward for
    finishing first.
     Most Importantly – Do NOT Panic!!!!!
     Read the question and ALL answer choices
    before marking anything
    General Strategies
     Read the directions carefully
     If you don’t understand the directions ask
    for help
     Work the easiest problems first
     Work the difficult problems last
     Pace Yourself
     Don’t spend too much time on any one problem –
    do your best and move on.
    General Strategies
     Read the answers carefully
     Mark your answers carefully
     Don’t Leave Anything Blank
     Answer all the questions – there is not a
    penalty for answering incorrectly
    General Strategies
     Your 1st choice answer is usually correct
     don’t change your answer unless you are
    sure of the correction
     Skip any question that you don’t know
    how to do
     Mark the question and go back to it later
     Find key words or phrases in the
    question that will help you choose the
    correct answer
    English Strategies
     Know the definitions of terms
     Use hints from the questions you know
    the answer to in order to answer
    questions you do not know the answer.
     When there are several questions about
    a reading passage or chart, look for clues
    in other questions that will help you with
    these items about which you are unsure.
    Reading Passages
     Reading Comprehension –
     Read the question first before you read the
    passage. By doing this, you will know what
    you are looking for as you read.
     This also helps you go faster on the test.
    Check Your Answers!
     Go back to the text and highlight or
    underline where you found the
    answer. This will help you focus on
    the important part of the passage and
    allow you the opportunity to prove
    your answer.
    Educated Guessing
    If you have to guess – Make an
    educated guess
    Eliminate answers that you know
    are wrong or don’t seem to fit.
    Plug in all answers into the
    question.
    A Matter of Time
     If any time remains, spend it on those
    questions that you struggled with or did
    not know.
     As you go back over the test, do not
    change all your answers
     REMEMBER: When in doubt, go with your
    gut. Your FIRST guess is
    usually right.
    Final Tips
    Fill in bubbles fully
    Write neatly
    Erase any stray marks
    REMEMBER – it is okay not to
    know everything
