test taking strategies

Some of these test taking strategies may come in handy during mid-term exams or any test:

1. Stay calm. If you feel yourself getting nervous, take a deep breath in and out. Remember that you've studied, you're prepared and that you'll do well.

2. Take your time-don't rush.

3. Use other parts of/questions on the test to your advantage. There may be hints in other places throughout the test.

4. Ask for help! If you don't understand a question on the test, please ask.

5. Please check your IEP for any accommodations for which you may be eligible.

studying strategies

Please consider the following studying strategies

for mid-term exams or any test:

1. Save all flash cards from previous tests/quizzes

2. Start studying now

3. Ask someone to quiz you or listen while you explain an event, procedure or process

4. Practice math problems from previous homework assignments

5. Review previous tests/quizzes

6. If a teacher offers a study guide or is willing to stay after school take advantage of their time. Tests and quizzes are not to trick you. Teachers want you to do well.
