Look through and preview the test and questions before starting on it to get a sense of what you're going to be doing. True or False?
True, because if you get a sense of what you're taking on the test you are able to note questions that you may have an idea of how to answer or mark ones that you would come back to later in test taking period.
What should you do if you feel like your mind has went blank or you just need to refocus?
(Answers may vary) There are many different ways from turning your test over and closing your eyes just to pause momentarily or take a deep breath, you could roll your head in a circle slowly or even have a mental talk with yourself to regroup, etc.
Should you arrive early to your testing destination and get comfortable or arrive late?
You should arrive early with spare time on your hands to be able to avoid the stress of running late right before your test.
What is the name of the strategy that makes you plug in answer choices to see if you can come up with the correct answer.

What are several ways to improve your chances of getting the right answer on a multiple choice question?

Instead of striving for every student to be Advanced on the test, what are we striving for?

Before taking your test, should you write down anything you remember that will help you or should you just wing it and go by what you think would be right.
You should write down whatever you remember (which is also known as Memory Cues); never wing it. Always chose the best thing to do over just "getting by". (Possible cues include formulas, dates, quotation or acronym.)
If you're having difficulties with a certain question, what should you do about it?
Skip the question and move on to a different one. Do not stay on that question for so long because it will take away from your test time. You can circle it and then come back to it at the end.
What are the advantages of scoring advanced or proficient on the test?
Advanced classes, rewards, meeting graduation requirements, no lab (remedial) classes next year
You should practice for about an hour the morning of the test? True or False
False!!
What shouldn't you do when you have finished your test?
You should NOT change your answers. Unless new information has surfaced or it was something you missed when answering the questions leave them like you had them; always go with your gut.
You only have 5 minutes left, you have 10 multiple choice questions left, what do you do?
Fill in all C's and THEN go back and try to answer the questions you may know. (Choose the same random answer)
