Mr. Motivator’s Test Taking Tips

Preparing to a Test

1. Keep up with regular class work and assignments.  Take notes.
2. Start reviewing a few days before the test.
3. Make lists, rhymes, or pictures to organize and remember information.
4. Use a buddy system to study.  Teach the information in your own words to a classmate or co-worker.
5. Get a good night’s sleep, and eat a healthy breakfast and lunch.

Taking a Test

6. If possible, sit in a place where you will be the least disturbed.
7. Read and follow the directions very carefully.  If you don’t understand something, ask. 
8. Scan the test to see the types of questions.  Pace yourself.
9. If you don’t know an answer, skip the question and return to it later.
10. When you finish, use any extra time to check your work.

Prepare for a test, it will help you do your best!
