1. Use a pen or pencil as directed by your teacher.
2. Write your name and date on the test.
3. Write down anything you are worried about forgetting in the margin or at the top of the test.
4. Read all directions and questions carefully.
5. Listen carefully to your teacher's instructions. Ask questions if something is unclear. Raise your hand and or take your paper to the teacher and ask for clarification or rewording.
6. Time yourself. Ask:
A. How many questions are on this test?
B. How many points is each type of question worth?
C. How much time can I spend on each question?
7. Answer easy questions first. You do not have to do the test in any particular order, unless directed by your teacher.
8. Use all test taking strategies that you have learned (these will be covered later in the chapter).
9. Answer every question. Never leave a question blank. If you leave it blank, it's wrong! Remember, something is better than nothing. Many times teachers will give partial credit. If you guess, you have a chance of getting it correct.
10. If you have problems finishing a test on time, you may want to arrange with your teacher to complete the test at another time.
11. If the answer sheet is on scantron, be sure to use a #2 pencil, darken the entire circle or block, and erase mistakes completely.
12. Read over the entire test before you turn it in. You will often find careless errors when rereading.
13. Be sure you write your name legibly on your test.
14. Before turning in your test, sit quietly for a few minutes. Sometimes you will remember an answer and you can add it to your test.
