    13. Test-Taking Strategies Analyze the question. Do NOT rush through the question. Read ALL of it! • Use knowledge to rule out wrong answers to help you guess wisely. • Your test booklet is your scrap paper- so cross out unnecessary or extra information, underline key words, or what you don’t need. • Find the distracters in the m/c questions. • Never leave a question blank- Use your power of knowing that you have a better chance of getting the question right! • Don’t waste your energy trying to race others or on one question going over it again and again. • Practice good time management- answer the easier questions first so you can spend more time with the harder ones or go back and check your answers.

    14. General Testing Tips Get plenty of rest Eat breakfast each day Dress comfortably Be confident of your ability Give your best effort
