Tips For Better Test Taking

When you take a test, you are demonstrating your ability to understand course material or perform certain tasks. Successful test taking avoids carelessness.

Answer questions in a strategic order:
**First easy questions to build confidence, score points, and mentally orient yourself to vocabulary, concepts, and your studies (it may help you make associations with more difficult questions).
**Then difficult questions or those with the most point valueWith objective tests, first eliminate those answers you know to be wrong, or are likely to be wrong, don't seem to fit, or where two options are so similar as to be both incorrectWith essay/subjective questions, broadly outline your answer and sequence the order of your points.

Prepare:
**Analyze your past test results.
**Arrive early for tests.
**Be comfortable but alert.
**Stay relaxed and confident.
