Tips For Success:
•
Eat a good breakfast.
• Get a good night’s sleep.
• Focus on the test.
• Don’t rush – there is plenty of time!
• Relax and have confidence.
• Read the directions and questions carefully.
• Underline key words that will help you solve the problem.
• Show your work…even the easy stuff…even on the multiple
choice. You have less of a chance of getting it wrong if you write the
work down.
• Circle your answers.
• Be careful when copying your answers.
• Skip the problems that you get stuck on. Make sure that you
mark them and remember to go back to them later.
• Part 1 (Multiple Choice) – Eliminate the answers that
are obviously wrong and work from there.
• Part 2 (Response) – Reread your response to make sure
that it makes sense. People should be able to understand what you mean.
• Double-check everything if time allows. Retake the test to help
you.
• Don’t leave ANYTHING blank – guess if you have to!!
