Be Physically Ready!• Get a good night’s sleep before the
test. • The morning of the test, eat a breakfast
that includes protein: – eggs, bacon, peanut butter, cheese, yogurt,
bananas, etc.!
• BE ON TIME! • Stretch during testing breaks!• Hydrate your body at least 4 days
before the test. – This means drink at least 8 glasses of water a
day.
– Research has proven this to help get your
dendrites (brain cells) recharged.
Be Mentally Prepared!• Being nervous or not caring, ruins your
performance!• Be competitive with the test makers, not
intimidated by them!• Remember, the passages were not chosen
to entertain you.
• Keep yourself engaged through active reading, highlighting, and writing margin notes (annotating)!
Open the ProperMental “Files”!
• When you are told to start, flip through the testsection you are working on! This will help you know what to look for.
• Think of the test as several small jobs – not one big one!
Bubbling Advice !o A dull pencil works
best; it’s faster anddoes not snap off ortear the paper.
o DO NOT press so hardthat you can’t completely
erase the bubble.o Make sure that the center of the bubble is filled in; the scanner reads from the center of the bubble.o Erase all stray marks
and smudges. Theymay be read asanswers.
Review = “Damage Control”
• Go back to make sure that you’ve answered all of the questions.
• Erase all stray marks and smudges.
• Scanners read from left to right and stop at the first answer; they may read a stray mark or smudge as your answer!!
Good Stuff to Know• Count all the multiple choice
questions you know you answered correctly. If you are only unsure of 5 answers, chances are you could still get commended.
• Careless errors, skipped questions, and smudges can be very damaging.
• The difference between satisfactory and commended boils down to missing just one less question!!
