    1. Standardized Test Taking Tips: Before the test: Get a Good Night�s Sleep Eat Breakfast Start your day as you usually do Think positive Visualize yourself doing well!

    2. During the test : Read carefully - Be sure you understand the question being asked. Read the question and all answer choices before marking anything. Look for key words that give clues to what the test-maker wants you to do Pay close attention to wording. Some words like NO, NOT, NEVER, and ALWAYS, called Qualifiers, can change the whole meaning of the question.

    3. During the Test: Don�t change answers unless you are absolutely certain; the first choice is usually right. Answer the easiest questions first, and then go back to those you skipped. Pace yourself � Don�t spend too much time on any one question. Do your best and then move on. Eliminate wrong answers. If your asked for 2 examples from the passage, give 2 examples�nothing less! If the test requires you to read passages and then answer questions about what you read, Read the questions first, so you know what to look for.

    4. Math Strategies: When using scratch paper on a math test, double check to make sure that you have copied the problem correctly from the test booklet! Line up place value correctly on your scratch paper (thousands, hundreds, tens, ones) or the answer will be incorrect. If your answer does not match one of the choices, reread the problem, recopy the numbers, and try solving it again. Show all your work (especially when partial credit is awarded) and write as legibly as possible. Even if you know the final answer is wrong, don't erase your entire work because you may get partial credit for using the correct procedure.

    5. Finally� Fill in the ovals fully, write neatly, and erase stray marks. Write constructed responses completely and legibly; A complete answer will get full credit. Double-check the test number in your test booklet against the answer sheet every few questions to be sure you haven�t gotten on the wrong number. Remember it's okay to not know everything � unlike class tests, these tests will have some questions designed to challenge the limits of your knowledge at a grade level above your current grade.
