Test-taking

Part 3

Identify key words

This help you focus on the main idea of challenging questions.

Rephrase difficult questions

To understand questions better, rewrite them in your own words. Be careful not to change the meaning.

Organize your thoughts before you write

Take time to organize your responses to short-answer and essay question. You’ll reduce the time you need to revise.

Write neatly

Be sure you don’t lose points on answer the teacher can’t read.

Use all the time you’re give. If you finish early, don’t leave, use the extra time to proofread and review your answer.

Choose the right!!!
