Get a good night's sleep the night before the test; eat
a light but nutritious meal a couple of hours before the test.
-
Arrive at the test site on time, calm and secure in the
knowledge that you have prepared well for the test.
-
When you get your test, write all formulas you may need
at the top of the first page. This is your "cheat sheet."
-
Read the test through completely before you begin doing
problems.
- Begin with an easy problem. After that, work problems in whatever order
makes sense. Many students find it helpful to do easy problems first and then
come back to those that are more difficult.
- If you get stuck on a problem, move on and come back to that problem later.
- Remain positively focused. Remind yourself frequently of your good preparation
and understanding of the material.
- Breathe deeply and make sure your neck and shoulders are relaxed at all
times during the test.
-
Don't rush. Plan to use the full time allotted to work problems
and recheck them.
- Before you turn in your test, check to make sure you have answered all questions
and have put your name on the test.
- Leave the classroom and congratulate yourself on a good job well done in
preparing for and taking the test!
