Don't try to pull an all- nighter. Get a full night of sleep 8 hours.
Wear something that you feel comfortable in. This is not the day to wear your new extra tight jeans. Bring a jacket or sweatshirt.Testing rooms can be cold.
Eat before a test. Having food in your stomach will give you energy and help you focus but avoid heavy foods which can make you groggy.
Show up at least 10 minutes before the test will start. No need to feel rushed. Set your alarm and have a backup alarm set as well.
Go to the bathroom before taking the exam.You don't want to waste anytime worrying about your bodily needs during the test.
Bring at least two pencils with good erasers, calculator, and any other resources that your teacher instructs you to. Consider wearing a watch to help pace yourself.
Leave cell phones and other electronic devices at home. Leave games and or other distractions at home.
Be sure to listen to the test instructions and follow directions. If you have questions, dont be afraid to ask your teacher.
Always read the entire question carefully. Don't make assumptions about what the question might be asking. Look for keywords to help you.
Pace yourself. Don't rush through questions. Don't stay on a problem that you are stuck on either. Mark the question and come back to it later if you have time.
Read all the choices before choosing your answer. Eliminate answers you know aren't right. Don't keep on changing your answer, usually your first choice is the right one, unless you misread the question.
In questions with an option of "All of the above, if you are certain one of the statements is false, don't choose "All of the above."
In questions with an option of "All of the above", if you see at least two correct statements, then "All of the above" is probably the answer.
In questions with an option of "None of the above", if you are certain one of the statements is true, don't choose "None of the above."
Stay relaxed. If you start to feel nervous, take a few deep breaths to relax.
Don't worry if others finish before you. Focus on the test in front of you.
When you are finished, if you have time left, look over your test. Make sure that you have answered all the questions.
The most important thing you can do during a test is to stay positive. Its okay if you dont know every answer. Just do your best!
