Before a test
True or False? I should look through and preview the test and questions before starting on it to get a sense of what we are going to be doing.
True, because if you get a sense of what you're taking, you are able to note questions that you may have and an idea of how to answer or mark ones that you would come back to later.
If you know two of three options seem correct in a question then choose "all of the above" as your answer choice. True or False?
True, because if you know that the two choice are correct then it leaves it to be "all of the above".
What should you do if you feel like your mind has went blank or you just need to refocus?
(Answers may vary) close 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.
True or False? Is being active important while studying?
Getting some active time is very important while studying. Break up your study sessions so you can clear your mind and get some fresh air. Try going for a quick jog or perform jumping jacks to get the blood flowing.
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.
Should you guess on a question that you are unsure of?
Not right away, you should skip the questions and move onto a different one then come back to it because it is possible that you might see something later on in the test that could possibly help you answer that question you were stuck on.
What are some ways to make studying for a test fun?
Playing games like Jeopardy or Bingo.
How many hours of sleep should you get before a test the next day?
8 or more hours of sleep.
True or False? Should I create negative affirmation about test taking such as "I am going to fail" or "I am not prepared for this test at all.
False! You should never create negative affirmation; it should be positive. You should have thoughts such as "I am fully prepared for this test" or "I am confident to pass and earn the highest score". (Never put yourself down, you can do it!)
What is the first thing you should do when coming across a lengthy question?
Look for keywords throughout the question, underline anything important (if you're allowed to write on the test), analyze and see what relates to any of your answers.
What are several ways to improve your chances of getting the right answer on a multiple choice question?
(Answers may vary) Eliminate any answers that do not make sense or go with the question. Cover your answers and read the question over again and look for key words. Etc..
List some (breakfast) foods that you should eat before a test that will wake up your brain and body to do their actions.
(Answers may vary) Nuts, apples, yogurt, blueberries, peanut butter, eggs, oatmeal, milk, orange juice, grapefruit, etc.
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.)
True or False? Once you finish your test with time to spare you should turn it in.
False, because it is possible that you may have miss-read a question the first time around. It is always good to go back and look it over so you get the best score.
Should you study a day before the test or study a little every night?
You should study a little every night so you don't have to cram for the test the night before.
True or False? The question that has an answer that is a bit lengthy than the others are usually the ones to be the correct one.
True, because it can be the one that is most informative and the others can just be something to do with the question but they're not specified or in detail.
What should you do when you have finished your test?
You should go back over the test to make sure you have answered all the questions.
True or False? Should you believe in yourself?
Yes, you will do better on a test with a positive attitude!
