Choose a good seat, get comfortable, and relax. Avoid hurried answers. Other types of written tests that may be given are essay, written composition, or in-basket simulations. Anytime you are asked to write more than a short answer, take a moment to write an outline. This allows you to organize your thoughts and, later, serves as a guide to ensure you have covered all the important points.
Most people are naturally anxious about taking a test.
A little anxiety can help by increasing your alertness but too much can disturb your concentration and affect your performance. If you become paralyzed at the thought of taking a test, you need to take a few steps to manage your anxiety. First, don't focus on the negative consequences of a poor performance. Most people are afraid of taking tests because they believe that if they do badly, they will be a failure, appear unintelligent, or lose the respect of others. Negative thinking only raises your anxiety level and decreases the likelihood of good test performance.
