Test Taking Strategies

To prepare for the unit test, students read a list of strategies to help them before, during and after the test. During our discussion, students highlighted these study tips as important guidelines.

1. Don't study when you are hungry or sleepy.
2. Give yourself study goals, such as what to study three days before the test, two days before the test, and finally the night before the test. (Don't wait until the last day to do all your studying.)
3. If the test is shorter than 20 questions, read all questions before answering the first one. If more than 20, skim through and circle what you think are the hardest questions.
4. Choose the easiest questions to answer first.
5. When reading a question quoting a sentence or phrase, re-read the paragraph to understand the context.
6. Use the process of elimination for multiple choice questions.
