Quickly check the number of questions asked on the test and the number of minutes you have to answer each question. Reread the directions to make sure that you are doing the appropriate task. Go through the test the first time to answer all questions you are sure of. For difficult questions, write your first choice of an answer in the margin so it is not forgotten. You can reconsider the question later and if you can t come up with a sure answer follow your first choice.
First guesses tend to be correct.
If there is not a guessing penalty, fill in all answers. You have nothing to lose and the answers you give are usually based on at least partial information. Be careful of choices which say always and never. These choices tend to be incorrect. Your only way to demonstrate and convince your instructor that you know your stuff is through an organized answer.
