*Seven Test Taking Tips:
New Student Registration/Enrollment
-
Use slow breathing to relax.
-
If you begin to get too anxious, repeat slow breathing and picture your "Safe Place" for a moment to break the stress cycle. Focus on your test taking strategy.
-
Look over the entire test to determine how long it is and where the most points are. Determine a time limit for each section.
-
If you use acronyms, or other memory aids, write them down on a scratch piece of paper.
-
Answer the easy questions first. Often these questions will have clues to harder questions.
-
Go back to the harder questions. Look for clues. Eliminate any obvious wrong answers. If you are still not sure of the correct answer, take your best educated guess.
-
Budget your time so that you have a few minutes left at the end to check your answers. Make sure you do not leave any blank.
