Essential test-taking advice

Try out strategies while you’re be a test-taking expert.

Before the test

Eat well.

 

Studies show that you need good nutrition to concentrate and perform your best.

 

Bring the right supplies.

Bring your pencils, erasers, pens, rulers, compasses, calculator, or whatever else you need on test day.

 

Review the whole test before you start.

See how many sections and what types of questions are on the test. Determine how much time to allow for on the test. Determine how much time to allow for completing each section.

Jot down your first thoughts.

During your first scan of the test, make quick notes about your thoughts. For example, you may want to outline your answers to written-response and essay questions right away.

 

During the test

Read the directions.

It’s important that you follow the instruction exactly.

For example, some questions may have more than one correct answer.

 

Answer easy questions first.

Doing this can jog your memory about useful facts. You may also come across information that can help you with other questions.

 

Answer every question.

Unless there is a penalty for wrong answers, try to answer every question; you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete correctly.

Ask questions.

If a question isn’t clear, talk to your teacher. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin.

 

Identify key words.

This helps you focus on the main idea of challenging questions.

Rephrase difficult questions. To understand questions better, rewrite them in your own words. Be careful not to change the meaning.

 

Organize your thoughts before you write.

Take time to organize your response to short-answer and essay questions. You’ll reduce the time you need to revise.

 

Write neatly.

Be sure you don’t lose points on answers the teacher cant read.

Use all the time you’re given.

If you finish early, don’t leave. Use extra time to proofread and review

 

 

The captains choose the wrong by not following the rules. He made the ship get too close to shore and the boat to sink. While this was happening he choose the wrong again by not being the last one out of the ship. By the rules he should have let the people go first then he would have gotten out he was the first to go out of the ship. If I were him I would have followed all of the rules. By him not following the rules he was on house arrest.

1.     ATTENDANCE: “C” students are often late and miss class frequently. They put other priorities ahead of academic work. In some cases, their health or constant fatigue renders them physically unable to keep up with the demands of high-level performance. They think it is cool to be tardy because it makes them think they are big shots. Skipping class is another downfall for the “C” and failing students.

2.     2. PREPARATION: “C” students may prepare their assignment consistently, but often in a perfunctory manner. Their work may be sloppy or careless. At times, it is incomplete or late. They postpone doing home assignment in order to text friends, visit friends on Facebook, or send tweets to some of their followers. The take shortcuts to complete academic work. They are short-sighted because they can’t see the long range destruction of taking shortcuts. It never pays off.

“When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad”

Abraham Lincoln

Reflection: What Abraham Lincoln is trying to say in this quote is that when a person does good he or she would feel at their best. However, if  he or she does bad, they will feel at their worst. You should always choose the right. When choosing the right you will feel good about yourself and others. just like Abraham Lincoln said.
