7 TIPS FOR TETST TAKING


Hello all,


Here you will find seven tips for test taking. I Hope they are useful!


1. Arrive early for tests:
Tests start on time, so avoid stress by arriving early.


2. Be comfortable but alert:
Choose a good spot in the room and make sure you have enough space to work, maintain comfortable posture in your seat.


3. Stay relaxed and confident:
Keep a good attitude. If you find yourself anxious, take several slow, deep breaths to relax.

Hey!!! something very important, don't talk about the test to other students just before entering the room: their anxiety can be contagious!!!!


4. Read the directions carefully:
This may be obvious, but it will help you avoid careless errors.


5. If there is time, quickly look through the test for an overview:
Note key terms, and doubll check those questions that were difficult to answers (an try to answer those questions you skipped).


6. Change answers to questions if you made a mistake, or misread the question:
If you find information elsewhere in the test that indicates that your first choice is incorrect, make the appropriate changes.


7. Ask the instructor for clarification if you don't understand what they are asking for on the test:
Be sure that you understand what to do.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK


A house is never still in darkness to those who listen intently; there is a whispering in distant chambers, an unearthly hand presses the snib of the window, the latch rises. Ghosts were created when the first man awoke in the night.
