Basic Test Taking Skills
Preparing for tests
•Know when the test is!
•Make sure you leave time to study
•24 hours before test– get good nights sleep. Don’t
cram!
•Make sure you have all necessary supplies (pencil
and calculator)
•Eat a good breakfast/lunch
•Try to exercise before a test
•Arrive early, review summary sheet, relax!
During Test
•Listen carefully to all directions
•Skim through entire test before you begin– budget
your time
•Go through entire test 3 times
•First time– answer all questions you know
•Second time– answer all questions you can
logically figure out
•Third time– guess at the remaining answers
•Always read each question at least twice to
completely understand its content
•Take advantage of full time
•Change answers only if you have a good reason to
do so. Usually your first answer is right
•Manage your anxiety
Multiple Choice Tests
•Choose your answer before you even look at the
choices
•Read all choices before answering
•Use common sense in determining you answer
•Select the most correct answer
•Use answers from previous questions to help
answer other questions

A species of finch has been studied on one of
the geographically isolated Galapagos Islands for

died out. The groups that survive probably have
