True or False: I can talk during the test.

I check for these things once I have finished writing my response.
What is spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and that it makes sense?
This is how you should read the instructions or questions on the KPREP.

True or False: I can bring a snack or drink with me to the test.

This is when I should go to the bathroom.
What is before the test? You may ONLY ask to go to the bathroom if it is an ABSOLUTE EMERGENCY.
These are some of the test tools available to me.

When I get stuck or I am not a hundred percent sure of my answer I can do this.
