Many students are testing at this time
of the year. Here are some tips from pbs.org to help you get through your tests
successfully.
Expect and accept a little bit of stress. Don't worry if you still have some stress while you begin
the test. Almost everyone feels this-it's there because you want to do your
best and get a good grade. The key is to accept it and not let worrying about
the stress make you even more stressed. Tell yourself, "I'm a little
worried, but that's okay. I'm going to do well on this test because I'm
prepared." Read the directions. Take a minute to read the test instructions, if there are any, before you get started. This will keep you from making simple mistakes and guarantee that you won't have to waste time going back and redoing any work because you didn't understand the directions.
Pace yourself. Your test will probably be timed. Know ahead of time how
many questions there are and how quickly you will have to move through each
one. Don't focus on the clock as time ticks away, but glance up every once in
awhile to make sure you're not falling behind pace.
