IT WORKS!!!!!
 |
Don't cram just before the test. Study a little each day for several weeks before the test. |
|
|
Be sure you understand all the directions before you begin a test. Ask questions if you don't understand. |
|
|
Be careful when you mark your answer in an answer row. Make sure you put your answer next to the right number or letter. |
|
|
Work as quickly as you can during a test. Skip questions you do not understand and go back to them later. |
|
|
Use key words, information, numbers, and/or figures to help you locate the answer. |
|
|
When you are unsure of an answer, take your best guess. |
|
|
For multiple choice questions, try to eliminate two answers. Then look for the best answer between the remaining two. |
|
|
Show your work on the Benchmark. |
|
|
If you finish early, check the items you were not sure about. Don't change an answer unless you are sure your new answer is correct. |
