what are some good test taking skills?

Question

Im a junior in Highs school

Answer 1

-Read through the questions and answer the ones you know right away FIRST, and then go back to the tough ones...this makes the best use of your time
--if it's multiple choice, use process of elimination and common sense
--If it's true/false, consider that most statements that say "never" or "always" are usually false
--always check over the test when you've completed all the questions, to make sure you don't have any careless mistakes or have accidentally skipped a question
--speaking of skipping, never do that--always put SOMETHING, even if it's an essay question...even if you have no clue, you may get half-credit for one correct sentence in your answer
--make sure you get a good night's sleep
--eat breakfast

These are all I can think of for now...if I think of more, I'll get back to ya! :-)

Answer 2

As a life-long learner, obtaining my MBA at the age of 49 and then completing 40 advanced hours in accounting, I offer these tips.
1. Preparation: Employ your method of study in a consistent manner. I recommend reading the chapter before class, taking good notes and studying for the exam from both the book and the notes. I was never a an all night crammer. That may work for you.
2. Be rested before the test. This will not be effective if you are up all night before the test cramming.
3. Test taking tips.
Answer the questions you know first. If you are unsure about a question come back to it.
Multiple answer questions usually have 2 answers that are clearly wrong.
Breathe deep and relax. Concentrate on each question. Worry about your grade is not only ineffective, you waste your valuable energy.
If you fail an exam, don't give up. I make a 60 on one test yet, came back with better results and finished with an A. You can do that as well.

Answer 3

Usually the reasoning will cancel out 2 answers and you have a 50/50 shot.
The other way is one of the answers is not like the others for example.
Your father just had 2 weeks ago heart surgery, and is at home what is the best diet to feed him?
A Fried chicken dinner
B Chicken fried steak
C Nothing at all
D Baked Fish
The reasons are You want to encourage a healthy diet, A & B are wrong because you to encourage a healthy diet. You can feed a patient at home nothing, and D is correct because You want to encourage a healty diet

Answer 4

Look over the test quickly, go through and answer the ones you know, go back and work on the ones you were'nt sure of. Get lots of sleep the night before and eat a good breakfast, including coffee (yes, you do think more clearly with it) Before you go into the testing room, do some slow breathing and relaxing. Visualize yourself knowing the answers.

Answer 5

1. Read the instructions carefully to make sure you don't waste time and energy doing things that are not wanted.
2. Read the questions carefully to make sure you know exactly what it is asking.

It is amazing how many people do poorly on tests of all kinds because they don't read instructions and misread questions.
