Test-taking Tips:
- Reading carefully and taking time to think
carefully are top priorities.
- The tests are not timed, so there is no
need to rush.
- Watch out for signal words such as not,
except, most, and least.
- The process of elimination can be used
to zero in on the best answer.
- Relaxed breaths will aid concentration.
- Try rotating shoulders and breathing slowly.
- Remember that tests are given to measure
what you have learned. Take this opportunity to shine!
