Tips Whenever possible, and as often as possible, practice with similar sample tests beforehand to familiarize yourself with the testing forms and directions. Be aware of how to monitor your emotional reactions such as worry, stress, fear or panic and be armed with techniques to get those feelings under control. Talk with your peers or with older students to share test-taking strategies. Don't cram the night before.
Preparation is key.
After studying over a period of time, review the material the night before. Don't change your routine because that will affect how you perform. Get a good night's sleep and start with a good breakfast. During the Test Read all directions carefully and critically. Budget your time.
