Test Taking Skills
- 1. Be on time and come fully prepared with any materials you need.
- 2. Read the directions at least twice to make sure you understand what is expected.
- 3. Look over the test to see what kinds of questions there are, and to give yourself an idea of how long you should allot for each area.
- 4. Read each question very carefully -look out for absolute words like "always" and "never".
- 5. Take your time, think carefully and don't panic -don't let other students distract or rush you!
- 6. Don't linger on one question too long -mark your best guess and come back to the question if time permits.
- 7. Be careful about changing your first answers without good reason -your first choices are more likely to be correct.
- 8. Do not be in a hurry -look over your test for careless errors like number transpositions or a decimal point in the wrong place.
- 9. On essays give the major points first and details last!
- 10. Use simple and correct words -do not abbreviate or use slang. Check your spelling and punctuation.
