Test taking strategies

We are upon benchmarks and it time to start implementing all of the test strategies that we have taught and learned. I would like to recap some of the best strategies that you can use when getting ready for a test or taking a test.

1. Get a good night sleep
2. Wake up early - so you are not rushed
3. Eat a good breakfast
4. Stay relaxed and confident
5. Read directions carefully
6. Answer questions in a strategic order
         ~Easy questions first to build confidence.
         ~Then those with the most point value.
         ~On objective tests, eliminate obvious incorrect answers.
         ~On essay tests, broadly outline your answer and sequence of points.
7. Review! if you have time.
        Resist the urge to leave when you complete the exam--
        check if you have answered all the questions,
        and not made any errors or mis-marked any answers.
8.  Change answers to questions if you erred, or misread the question!
        You may also find information in the test that will correct a previous answer.
