small medium large Taking Standardized Tests Here are a few helpful tips in how to take a standardized test. These tips are not meant to replace the fact that students need to review materials and study beforehand. But there are several items that one may not think of in the days before the test and on the day of the test: BEFORE THE TEST: * Review exam preparation materials. Take some timed practice tests. * If you are allowed to use a calculator, know how to use it. There are helpful keys on the calculator that you may not know about. Make sure you know where all of the important keys are. * Get a good night’s sleep. The night before a standardized test is not a time to stay up late or go out with your friends. * Eat a good breakfast. It will give you enough energy to make it through the exam. * Eat a light lunch. You may realize that after you have a big lunch, you feel like going to sleep. If your exam is in the afternoon, you certainly don’t want to fall asleep in the middle of it. If you eat a little less, enough to still be a little hungry, you should physically be in good shape to finish an afternoon exam. DAY OF EXAM: * Standardized tests are timed. You need to be aware of time, but you should not let time paralyze you o Have a plan going into the exam. Know how much each section of the exam will be worth. Allocate your time on the exam to correspond with the amount of points each section is worth. o Know how many total questions are on the exam. Divide that number into the total amount of time you are given. Keep you eye on the clock and try to stay within the average time per question. o Stick to the timeframe of your plan, even if that means skipping some problems. If you have time at the end of the exam, go back and answer the ones you had to skip. * Find questions on the exam you can answer easily. That will give you confidence. DON’T NECESSARILY GO IN ORDER OF THE QUESTIONS. * If you don’t know the answer to a question right away, skip the question. They waste time and lessen your confidence. Go back after you are done, you will be surprised to see that there are some you can now answer. * Answer every question (unless you are taking an exam that penalizes you for guessing) * Take enough supplies -- sharpened pencils, erasers, tissues and anything else you may need -- so that you don’t have to get up from your desk.
