Step1

Make sure to be well rested and comfortable. If you take a test when you are hungry or tired, you won't do as well.

Step2

You should always know what to expect. Learn ahead of time the kind of test it will be, where and when it will be held, and what materials to bring.

Step3

Always arrive on time to avoid last-minute pressure.

Step4

Expect some anxiety. Being concerned will help you do your best on a test, after all your only human! Avoid worried test-takers. Extreme nervousness, called test anxiety, will interfere with your work. Remember, test anxiety is contagious and unproductive.

Tips & Warnings

Keep a positive attitude. Decide to do your best and focus on the material you know.
Pay close attention to one question at a time. This kind of concentration reduces anxiety
Relax as much as you can. If you're too nervous to think or read carefully, try to slow down physically. Take several slow, deep breaths. Then start to work.

on 6/2/2008 Remember these tips: 1. Questions on tests that have the words 'always' or 'never' or 'every time' are usually false. 2. Changing an answer later on usually makes the answer wrong...stick with your original answer. 3. If you don't know the answer, skip it...usually a question will answer that question later on in the test. Good Luck!
