Top Ten Test-Taking Tips for Students TIPS TO SUCCESS 1. Have a Positive Attitude Approach the big test as youd approach a giant jigsaw puzzle. It might be tough, but you can do it! A positive attitude goes a long way toward success. 2. The Night Before The night before the test you should do a quick review and get to bed early. Remember, your brain and body need sleep to function well, so dont stay up late! 3. The Morning of the Test Did you know that you think better when you have a full stomach? So dont skip breakfast the morning of the test. Get to school early and do a ten-minute power study right before the test, so your brain is turned on and tuned up. 4. Test Time Before the test begins, make sure you have everything youll need - scratch paper, extra pencils, your calculator (if youre allowed to use it). Understand how the test is scored: Do you lose points for incorrect answers? Or is it better to make guesses when youre not sure of the answer? Read the instructions! You want to make sure you are marking answers correctly. 5. Im Stuck! Those tricky problems can knock you off balance. Dont get worried or frustrated. Reread the question to make sure you understand it, and then try to solve it the best way you know how. If youre still stuck, move on. You can come back to it later. 6. Neatness Counts If your 4s look like 9s, it could be a problem. Be sure that your writing is legible and that you erase your mistakes. For machine-scored tests, fill in the spaces carefully. 7. Im Done! Not so fast - when you complete the last item on the test, remember that youre not done yet. First, check the clock and go back to review your answers, making sure that you didnt make any careless mistakes (such as putting the right answer in the wrong place or skipping a question). GOOD LUCK!!
