The Final is THIS Period - 3 Tips for Successful Test Taking:
• Have you ever written four essays and discovered later that the instructions said, “Choose three of four”? The easiest way to boost your test score is to read the directions and questions carefully. If you’re not sure of what’s being asked, don’t be afraid to ask the teacher.
• On essay tests, first read all the questions, then begin with the easiest one and work your way up. Why? Because if you don’t have time to finish, the hardest essay will be left undone. Also, doing easier essays builds confidence and may even trigger thoughts on the hard ones.
• When I was in school, our biology teacher told us that on a multiple-choice test, when you’re absolutely stuck between two choices, choose a middle response (for example, choice “C”) because test makers tend to hide the correct answer in the middle. I’m not sure he’s right, but I always followed his advice whenever two choices looked equally good. It just felt better to have some way of choosing. It’s certainly better than leaving it blank.
