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 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 paragraphs should you have in an EXTENDED RESPONSE?
4! An intro, conclusion, and 2 body paragraphs.
What are positive affirmations you can say to yourself before you take a test? How can you be your own coach?
You should have positive 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 is one way that you can introduce a detail?
For example...
In the text it says...
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.
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..
What is one way you can start your conclusion paragraph?
In conclusion...
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. You can circle it and then come back to it at the end.
