Test Taking Strategies
- Read the question carefully.
- Think about what you are supposed to do before you do it.
- Look at answer choices carefully.
- If you are absolutely sure an answer choice is correct, mark it and move on to the next question. You need not look at the rest of the answer choices.
- Eliminate answer choices you know are wrong.
- Try each answer choice in the blank for cloze-type items.
- Take your best guess when un-sure of the answer.
- Skip difficult items and return to them later.
- Be sure you mark the correct space for the answer group that corresponds to the question you are working on.
- Answer all of the questions.
