Finished Early?

• Don’t hand your test in if you finish early

• Spend extra time checking your work

• Now is the time to reread any questions that confused you earlier or add details to your answers.

Take It Easy!

• If you find yourself panicking, take a deep breath and relax

• Take a couple of deep breaths, move your toes and feet or picture yourself in your favorite place.

Focus On Each Question!

• Don’t obsess if you do not know the answer to a question

• Either come back to it or answer it the best way you can

• When you’re done with the other questions, come back and reread it.

Read The Test First!

• Don’t rush to start answering questions

• First, read through the entire test

• Get a feel for the test: how long it is, what type of questions you have to answer

• If something is unclear, don’t panic

• Don’t hesitate to ask the teacher anything that may seem unclear.

Listen First, Then Write!

• Teachers often have last minute instructions as they had out the tests

• Make sure you listen carefully to what they are saying.

Get Enough Sleep The Night Before The Test!

• Studies show that students who got enough sleep the night before a test fared better than those who pulled an “all-nighter”

• Memory recall is much better if you had sufficient rest.

Make Sure You Have Studied!

• This is a no-brainer, right?

• How do you learn best?

• Everyone has a personalized learning style

• Make an effort to learn material on a daily basis and review proper study techniques.
