Test-Taking Tips for Students
- Read
everything! (Title, introduction, italics, and subtitles)
- Read
the question carefully. Read all the choices and choose the best answer.
Look for key words in the question. Be sure you understand what is being
asked. Use all the information given.
- Never
leave an answer blank. It is better to make an educated guess than leave a
question blank.
- When
unsure of an answer, eliminate choices you know are wrong.
- If
you do not know the answer, but do know the process, try working back from
the answer choices.
- If
you cannot solve a problem, go to the next one and return to the skipped
problem later. Be sure to skip that number on your answer sheet.
- Check
your place to be sure you mark the answer number that goes with the
question number.
- Check
your answer to see if it makes sense. Work problems out on paper or in
your booklet. Double, even triple check your computations. Refer back to
reading selections to find proof of your answer choice.
- Keep
an eye on the time. If you finish before the testing session is over,
start at the beginning. Reread selections, questions, and choices. Check
answers and think again about the questions you thought were hardest.
How to
Help Your Child Get Ready for the EOG (Share with your parent/guardian)
Research shows students do best on tests
when they receive lots of encouragement from parents and teachers and develop a
positive attitude.
Remember to stay positive even
if you feel a bit worried. Here are some things you can say that may be
helpful:
·
You are going to do just fine because you worked hard and behaved
well at school this year.
·
Your teacher made sure you have been taught everything on the EOG.
There should be no surprises.
·
You do not have to get every question correct to get a big score.
·
I know you will do a great job.
