Test Taking Strategies 2016

You probably shouldn't read ALL answer choices & eliminate any that you know are wrong! 

Charts & maps rarely provide information you can use to answer questions.

Don’t leave a question unanswered.  You will not have ANY chance of getting it right.  

Once you have chosen your answer, plug it in and make sure that it makes sense!  

Highlighting,underlining,& circling details helps focus on exactly what the question is asking

It's okay to predict what the answer is BEFORE you read the choices! 

Why go back and check your work?  You'll never make a mistake.  

Pay close attention to signal words in the directions, such as explain, interpret, & compare.

Verify your answer by finding evidence from the text........
