Many students who experience academic difficulty complain that their ability to take test is the problem. Such a diagnosis is partially correct but rarely is lack of test-taking skills the major problem.
Preparation is a necessity.
Below are some test-taking strategies designed to assist you when faced with a test. Bring at least 2 pencils or pens to the test site. Be aware of the time you have for taking the test. When you receive the test, quickly review it analyzing the length, types of questions, and points allocated to each question. If you are able to write on the test, always write formulas and mnemonic devices at the top.
