Good Job!

Test-Taking Strategies Before the test:

1. Make sure that you have enough

sleep the night before the test.

2. Have an adequate meal, but don’t eat

too much.

3. If you ordinarily wear glasses or a

hearing aid, make certain that you have

them with you.

During the test:

1. Be alert but calm. Try to do your best without

getting tense.

2. Be sure to listen carefully to the person who

gives the test directions. Read all directions very

carefully.

Do the sample questions even though you think

you understand.

3. Look at all the choices before you answer.

Watch out for all of these and none of these.

4. Try to answer all questions. Even if you are not

sure of the answer, it is usually better to put down

the answer you think is most probably correct.

5. Answer the questions in order, but do not spend too much time on a hard one. Go on to the next one and come back to the hard ones later.

6. When you have finished the test, go back and work on any items you may have skipped.

7. Every once in a while, make certain that you are using the correct space on the answer sheet for your answer.

8. If you change an answer, be sure you erase the first answer thoroughly. If the test scanner reads both marks, it will count it wrong.

9. Do not be upset if you do not know all the answers. The tests are designed so that most examinees will not finish within the time limit.

Why are the tests given? Tests are used to help the students determine if they are qualified for a particular jobs. Tests help to do this by providing an objective and consistent method to measure the skills and abilities of the students.

In general, students who score higher on the tests are more likely to be successful on the job.
