Tips for Matching Test Items

1. Read the directions carefully.  Underline important key words.

2. Read the list on the right (answer column) first so you are aware of all available choices.  You are looking for the best choice.

3. Star any question you need to return to later.

4. Cross out answer choices as you use them unless the directions say you can use answers more than once.

5. Go back and reread the ones that you weren't sure of the first time.  By now you should have eliminated some choices.

6. When you study your notes, text, or review sheets, remember:
           -Laws are usually matched with dates and their founders.
           -Locations are usually matched to important events that occurred there.
           -Names are usually matched with notable achievements and actions.
