Before a test
You should look through and preview the test and questions before starting 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.
When you notice that all of the choices are correct, choose "all of the above". True or False?
True.
What should you do if you feel like your mind has went blank or you just need to refocus?
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.
You should skip breakfast to get to school on the day of the MAP test. True or False?
False. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Should you guess on a question that you are unsure of?
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.
Yes. It is always good to read over your answers.
Creating negative thoughts about test taking such as "I am going to fail" or "I am not prepared for this test at all" is good self talk. True or False?
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.
When you're reading a long passage, you should highlight or underline the important information. True or False?
True.
Once you finish your test with time to spare you should turn it in. True or False?
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.
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. Come back to the question at the end.
What should you do if you need more time to finish the test?
Notify the teacher that you did not finish.
The answer that is a bit lengthy than the others is usually the one to be the correct one. True or False?
False, the longest answer is not always the right answer.
What should you do before submitting your test.
Make sure you answered all of the questions and raise your hand.
You should do what works best for you to make a routine that helps you prepare physically and mentally before a test. True or False?
True! You should do whatever you do, if it's jamming to music then jam to music or if you like to do yoga with calming wave sounds then do that. Whatever helps you focus and gets you into preparation then do it.
