Test-Taking Strategies
Read and pay careful attention to all directions.
Read each passage and accompanying questions.
Read every possible answer--the best one could be last.
Read and respond to items one at a time rather than thinking about the whole test.
Reread, when necessary, the parts of a passage needed for selecting the correct answer.
Don't expect to find a pattern in the positions of the correct answers.
Don't make uneducated guesses. Try to get the correct answer by reasoning and eliminating wrong answers.
Decide exactly what the question is asking; one response is clearly best.
Don't spend too much time on any one question.
Skip difficult questions until all other questions have been answered. On scratch paper, keep a record of the unanswered items to return to, if time permits.
Make sure to record the answer in the correct place on the answer sheet.
Only change an answer if you are sure the first one you picked was wrong.
Work as rapidly as possible with accuracy.
After completion of the test, use any remaining time to check your answers.
Keep a good attitude. Think positively!
