  2. During the test • READ THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY!!!- Highlight important info • Look over the whole exam before you start- this will help with pacing yourself • F My Life example: “Today, I was prioritizing my extreme amount of homework. I read over the front page of my psychology paper seeing that it was pretty easy questions, I decided to do it last. Little did I know there was a 8 page essay on the back of the page…FML” • Do the easy parts first- gain confidence and time for the harder sections

  3. Multiple Choice/ True False Tips • Underline qualifying words: examples not, except, best, always, never, none • Read all potential answers before selecting one • Recognize out of place answers • Cross out incorrect answers- process of elimination
