Ask your instructor for help in interpreting a test questions that is unclear or ambiguous to you. He will probably want to clear up the misunderstanding for everybody if the question really is misleading or confusing. Be careful not to give any impression of cheating. Take your time, don't panic, and you will do much better on the test. Use all the time available to eliminate careless errors and to improve your answers as much as possible.
All programs are open to all students, faculty, and staff.
Try to go into the test alert and calm instead of tense and anxious. If you block on answering one question, leave it for awhile and return to it later. Quickly look over the entire test and divide up your available time as appropriate to the number and type of questions that you find. Then be careful not to mismanage your time so that you find yourself with insufficient time to answer all the questions. Read each question carefully and completely before marking or writing your answer.
