DURING THE TEST: • UNWRAP your Peppermints when as soon as you get to your desk • FIRST THING- Flip through the test booklet to see how much space you have to brainstorm, outline, draft, etc. THEN look at how much space you have for your final essay. • If you MUST go to the bathroom/ stretch your legs… BE AS QUIET AS POSSIBLE… ESPECIALLY W/ THE DOOR! • If you need additional time.. YOU’VE GOT IT!
