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.
