Study Skills

Here are several effective tips to help you while taking a test.

1. Read the directions very carefully when taking a test. Although this effort may seem crazy, it will help you not to make careless mistakes.

2. If there is time, look through the test quickly and note key terms.

3. Answer questions on the test starting with the easiest. Complete the more difficult ones by eliminating any answers you know are not correct.

4. Resist the urge to turn in your paper the minute you complete it. Review your test, and check for any careless mistakes that may have been made.
