Pass the Test! |
||
Preparing
for a test starts long before the actual test is announced.
In order to prepare for the test you should:
|
||
Ask yourself the following questions to assess your test-taking ability: |
||
| When
I take a test, I... |
Yes |
No |
| look it over, survey the entire test and read all directions before I begin working. |
||
| plan how I will use my time in taking the test. |
||
| do the easiest questions first. |
||
| complete the harder questions next. |
||
| know that most statements which use always or never are generally false or true & false tests. Also, if part of a statement is false, the entire statement is false. |
||
| use the process of elimination for multiple choice questions. |
||
| cross off answers as I use them in matching tests. |
||
| plan my essays carefully. I jot down important facts before writing, answer the question that was asked, and begin my answer by restating the question. |
||
| work at a steady pace. |
||
| check over my answers before I hand the completed test to the teacher. |
