Good Practices in Test Taking Eat a good, HEALTHY breakfast.
Fuel for thought – protein!
Get a 8 hours of sleep. No texting/IMing/talking into the middle
of the night.
Take your time but pace yourself. Attempt every question. Mark the
ones that you don’t know and come back later.
***Make sure to skip that number on your answer sheet too.
Eliminate all of the choices that you know can’t be right.

Good Practices cont. ALWAYS stop at every 10th question to make sure
your answer sheet matches the question that you are answering.
Again….MARK YOUR ANSWERS IN YOUR BOOK AND BUBBLE SHEET!!
Use the time remaining to recheck your answers! Go back to complete skipped questions and make sure all bubbles are filled.
Don’t change any answers unless you’re sure they’re wrong. Your 1st answer is most likely correct.
Ignore other students- Don’t assume your falling behind if someone finishes before you!! Maybe they’re rushing through in a panic. Work at your own pace & focus on doing YOUR BEST!
RELAX! Take a deep breath every once in a while.
