Before Testing
Look through and preview the test and questions before starting on it to get a sense of what you're going to be doing. Is this 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.
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) 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 school 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.
How many hours of sleep should you get before a test the next day?
8 hours.
Create negative affirmation about test taking such as "I am going to fail" or "I am not prepared for this test at all. 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.
List some 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, dark chocolate, peanut butter, eggs, oatmeal, milk, orange juice, grapefruit, etc.
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.
You should stay up all night, drink 3 energy drinks, and then come to school- True or False?
FALSE! You should get proper rest, and eat a healthy breakfast.
The question that has an answer that is a bit lengthy than the others is usually the one to be the correct one. True or False?
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 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 should do what you want or 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.
