Test-Taking Tips • Go to bed early the night before the test. You will think more clearly after a good night’s rest. • Read each problem carefully and think about ways to solve the problem before you try to answer the question. • Relax. Most people get nervous when taking a test. It’s natural. Just do your best. • Answer questions you are sure about first. If you do not know the answer to a question, skip it and go back to that question later. • Think positively. Some problems may seem hard to you, but you may be able to figure out what to do if you read each question carefully. • If no figure is provided, draw one. If one is furnished, mark it up to help you solve the problem. • When you have finished each problem, reread it to make sure your answer is reasonable. • Become familiar with a variety of formulas and when they should be used. • Make sure that the number of the question on the answer sheet matches the number of the question on which you are working in your test booklet.
