TEST TAKING
7 ESSENTIAL STRATEGIES FOR TAKING TESTS:

1.   As soon as you receive the test, jot down
     important information
7 ESSENTIAL STRATEGIES FOR TAKING TESTS:

2.   Survey the test to become familiar with
     the types of questions, the point value of
     different questions, and the overall
     length of the test.
7 ESSENTIAL STRATEGIES FOR TAKING TESTS:

3.   Budget your time to complete all
     questions.
7 ESSENTIAL STRATEGIES FOR TAKING TESTS:

4.   Decide on a starting point. You do not
     have to take the test in the order in which
     the questions are presented, you can
     begin with the part that you feel most
     comfortable.
7 ESSENTIAL STRATEGIES FOR TAKING TESTS:

5.   Read all the directions carefully!!
7 ESSENTIAL STRATEGIES FOR TAKING TESTS:

6.   Use your test time wisely. If you have time
     available, check your answers but do
     NOT change answers if you are panicking
     or feel time is running out.
7 ESSENTIAL STRATEGIES FOR TAKING TESTS:

7.   Do not leave answer spaces
     blank if you start to run out of
     time. When you are running out
     of time, pick up the pace, read
     faster, spend less time
     pondering answers, and make a
     quick choice or use an educated
     guess for your answer.
FOUR LEVELS OF RESPONSE:
   To answer any type of test question, you must conduct a
    memory search to locate and retrieve information from your
    long-term memory.
   The four levels of response are stages students can use to
    answer test questions:
    1.   Immediate- this is when you immediately know the answer after
         reading the test question.
    2.   Delayed-when you can’t respond immediately, go into retrieval
         mode to try to stimulate an association or to visualize the
         information
    3.   Assisted- when you can’t respond immediately and still can’t
         recall the information after trying a retrieval strategy, move on
         to other questions and come back to that question. Information
         from other questions may trigger an association to help you
         remember the information.
    4.   Educated Guessing – this is the “when all else fails” stage and
         means you provide a guess to the question based on other
         information you did recall.
