Test-Taking Tips that Work

Read test directions carefully and thoroughly. If the test includes multiple sections, be sure to read each set of directions.

Read each question carefully to determine its meaning. Make sure you know what the question is asking before you begin to answer.

Anticipate the answer before looking at the choices. If your answer is one of the choices, it is probably correct.

Be sure to read through all the answer choices before marking one as correct.

Look for synonyms in the answer choices that match words or phrases in the question. Most likely, the correct answer will include similar words.

Use context clues to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words.

Analyze the meaning of unknown words by dividing them into prefix, root, and suffix and trying to define each part.

Eliminate answers that don't make sense. Try to narrow the choices down to two when you are unsure of the correct answer.

Guess intelligently by looking for opposite answers, one of which can be eliminated.

When reading passages are involved, read the questions first to determine what you are looking for as you read the selection.

For math problems, use scratch paper and double check to make sure you've copied the problem correctly. Line up place values neatly to avoid careless mistakes.

Pace yourself to leave time for review at the end of the test. Don't spend too much time on difficult questions. Go back to questions you skipped after you've finished.

“Needs? I guess that is what bothers so many folks. They keep expanding their needs until they are dependent on too many things and too many other people... I wonder how many things in the average American home could be eliminated if the question were asked, "Must I really have this?" I guess most of the extras are chalked up to comfort or saving time.
― Richard Proenneke, One Man's Wilderness: An Alaskan Odyssey

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” ~ John Lennon
