5 tips for taking exams: ⬇️ 📝

1. Try the letter of the day method. When you come to questions you need to guess on a multiple choice exam, always go with the same letter- for example, option C. The whole exam, circle C on those questions. Why? It saves time and is less risky than random guessing. This is considered the gold standard for guessing on exams like the SAT and ACT.

2. Do a memory dump right before the exam. The moment you get your paper, write down all the things you can remember on the exam sheet, like formulas. I used to do this before chemistry exams. It primes your mind and can be helpful if you blank during the exam.

3. Calculate how long you should spend per question. Flip to the end of the exam right when the test starts. If you have 50 minutes and there are 25 questions, plan to spend no more than 2 minutes per question. I also like to leave some time to check my answers (I like to leave 10 minutes for review). Doing this is crucial because time management is key for test taking.

4. Process of elimination. This is a basic test strategy, but arguably the best one. If you get stumped on a question, slow down and logically go through your options. What can you rule out completely? Try to get down to two options and pick the best one between them, or just circle one at random. Your chances are significantly improved this way.

5. Read the question twice. So often I’ve made silly mistakes that could’ve been avoided by careful reading. Make sure to underline key words or numbers in a question and don’t just skim, read very carefully.
