TESTING TIPS
Before the test
-
Avoid cramming
- Plan studying in short blocks of time several weeks before a test,
not just a few days.
- Map out a study schedule.
- Eat healthy meals and get a good night's sleep before the test.
- Don't study until right before test time, allot at least 30 minutes
between studying and taking the test to relax.
- Participate in class and keep up with the reading, even if the
teacher covers the material in the book in class.
- Sit at the front of the classroom and ask questions.
- Talk to the professor if any material is unclear.
- Find out the format of the test.
Test Day
-
Arrive early to the classroom, but not to study.
Don't hurry.
-
Don't talk to classmates about test material right before
the test; it could confuse you more.
-
Sit in the same seat you usually sit in for class for
contextual clues that might jog your memory.
-
Scan the whole test to determine which questions will
require more time.
-
Read all directions and ask questions immediately if any
are unclear.
-
Relax.
-
Answer easiest or shortest questions first or the
questions on material you are likely to forget quickly.
-
Pace yourself.
-
Use test questions to stimulate your recall memory.
