  1. Test-Taking Strategies Adapted from Matt Guffey, Longridge Elementary School

  2. “Jail” the Detail! • Highlight, underline, or circle the details in the questions. This helps you focus on exactly what the question is asking you to do. Mr. Detail

  3. Be Slick and Predict! • Predict what the answer is BEFORE you read the choices. “I think the answer is …”

  4. Slash the Trash! • Read ALL of the answer choices! Eliminate any choice(s) that you know are not the correct answer. The choice is obviously “trash!”

  5. Plug it in, Plug it in! • Once you have chosen your answer, plug it in and make sure that it makes sense! (this works really well with vocabulary questions).

  6. Be Smart With Charts & Zap the Maps! • Charts and Maps provide information that you can use to answer questions! Analyze ALL information provided before answering the questions!

  7. Extra! Extra! Read All About It! • If the directions say read…. READ! Pay close attention to signal words in the directions, such as explain, interpret, and compare.

  8. Keep On Keeping On! • If you get to a couple of questions that you just don’t know, don’t give up! Keep trying your best!

  9. If you SNOOZE, You will LOSE! • Don’t leave a question unanswered. You will not have ANY chance of getting it right.

  10. Check It Out! • When you have completed the test, go back and check your work!
