43. Ready To Test Familiarize yourself with Multiple Choice Question Exams Keep in mind that the IC&RC exam is asking you for the BEST response. This is different than simply asking you to choose theCORRECT response Use the practice exams Purchase & read the Job Task Analysis (RDS) Set time aside… prioritize the time you set aside Don’t put off studying Get an early start to help you to be ‘ready’ Use your best studying & retention techniques… You know what works for you Organize/Join a study group… You are not alone!!! Warning: Study Groups may involve bad eating habits! I DON’T WANT TO MAKE THE WRONG MISTAKE

44. ___ __ ____An Examination Be rested. Don’t be hungry. Be positive. Arrive early, learn ‘the lay of the land’ Listen carefully to & follow all instructions Look at/over the Test booklet Take a deep breath… Relax… Read slowly, carefully & completely. This is a professional exam, no one is trying to trick you. Read all the answers to every question Answer the questions you know you know first Don’t expect to know all the answers If you’ve studied, you are bound to know something Avoid Changing Answers. First choice is usually the correct choice, especially if you have studied. ________________________________! …there’s more SLUMP? I AINT IN NO SLUMP. I JUST AINT HITTING.

45. More:_______ The Written Exam Use ‘the process of elimination’.Unsure of an answer… eliminate the choices that are obviously wrong & then make a reasonable choice. Leave no unanswered questions. There is no penalty for guessing. Don’t worry about your neighbors. Some one will likely finish before you. That is not a reflection of your knowledge or competence. It just means someone finished before you did. Be careful with your answer sheet. Only put down an answer when you are sure, otherwise write your choice on the test booklet & transfer it to the answer sheet after reviewing your choices. WHEN YOU COME TO THE FORK IN THE ROAD…TAKE IT
