Five Tips For Tests

Tip # 1 Manage Your Time

Unless it is a take-home test, you only have a certain amount of time to get it finished. Look at the marks for each question. Figure out the time to answer each question.

Tip # 2 Know The Rules

Ask your teacher about the rules for the test. For example if you could use a calculator, bring notes, talk to a friend, or get penalized for getting the incorrect answer. Also ask if you can guess on a question or leave it blank.

Tip # 3 Plan Your Attack

Often it is better to take a minute or two to think about how you are going to answer the question.

Tip # 4 Fill In The Space

If there are five lines for an answer, or a big space on the sheet, fill the lines or space. They give you an idea of how long of an answer your teacher expects from you.


Tip # 5 Check Your Answer

In math work backwards to make sure you answer is correct. In Language Arts proofread to make sure your spelling and punctuation are correct.
