1 Strategies for Taking Standardized Tests

2 The Night Before Testing Go to bed on time. Put a few number 2 pencils with erasers in your backpack. Solve family/friend problems before the testing date. Talk to your parents about any concerns that you might have about the test.

3 The Morning of Testing Start your day as you always do. Eat a good breakfast. (LOW SUGAR) Think of what you will do to relax after you get home from school. Think Positive!

4 Multiple Choice Questions If you do not understand the directions, ask for help. Read the question and all answer choices before marking anything.

5 Pace Yourself Don t spend too much time on any one question. Do your best and then move on. Answer the easiest questions first, but be sure to go back to those questions you need to check.

6 Multiple Choice Questions Do not change your answers unless you are very unsure about your first answer choice. Try to answer every question. Make the most intelligent choice you can.

7 The Process of Elimination After you have been through all of the questions once, go back and find questions you were unsure about and reread the question and eliminate choices that you know are incorrect.

8 The Process of Elimination If you can eliminate two wrong answers, your chance of choosing the right answer is greater.

9 Answering Questions Don't guess blindly, but if you have time to think about the best answer choice, make it!

10 Skip, Return, Check If you finish early, check to make sure you have answered all questions.

11 Key Words Find key words or phrases in the question that will help you choose the correct answer.

12 Are we communicating? Make sure you understand what the question is asking. Be sure you are responding to the question that is being asked.

13 Reading Passages If the test requires you to read passages and then answer questions about what you read, read the questions first. By doing this, you will know what you are looking for as you read. This also helps you go faster on the test.

14 Reading Passages When there are several questions about a reading passage or chart, look for clues in other questions that will help you answer additional questions.

15 Math Computation When using scratch paper on a math test, double check to make sure that you have copied the problem correctly from the test booklet!

16 Math Computation Line up place value correctly on your scratch paper (thousands, hundreds, tens, ones) or the answer will be incorrect.

17 Math Computation If your answer does not match one of the choices, reread the problem, recopy the numbers, and try solving it again.

18 A Matter of Time If any time remains, spend it on those questions that gave you some difficulty. As you go back through, do not change all answers. Remember: Your first guess is usually right.

19 It s About Time Don t spend too much time rewriting or obsessing about neatness. Don t worry if you run out of time.

20 Final Tips Fill in bubbles fully, write neatly, and erase stray marks. Double-check the test number in your test booklet against the answer sheet every few questions to be sure you haven t gotten on the wrong number.

21 The Death Grip If your arm tires during testing it is probably due to the grip that you have on your pencil. Relax the grip and give those muscles a break. Do not do arm exercises during testing as this disturbs others.

22 Thank you, Mr. Know-it-all! Remember it's okay not to know everything unlike class tests, these tests will have some questions designed to challenge you.

23 Milestones Grade 4 EOG Assessment Guide

24 Test-Taking Strategies

25 Jail the Detail! Highlight, underline, or circle the details in the questions. This helps you focus on exactly what the question is asking you to do. Mr. Detail

26 Be Slick and Predict! Predict what the answer is BEFORE you read the choices. I think the answer is

27 Slash the Trash! Read ALL of the answer choices! Eliminate any choice(s) that you know are not the correct answer. The choice is obviously trash!

28 Plug it in, Plug it in! Once you have chosen your answer, plug it in and make sure that it makes sense! (this works really well with vocabulary questions).

29 Be Smart With Charts & Zap the Maps! Charts and Maps provide information that you can use to answer questions! Analyze ALL information provided before answering the questions!

30 Extra! Extra! Read All About It! If the directions say read. READ! Pay close attention to signal words in the directions, such as explain, interpret, and compare.

31 Be a Whiz with the Grid! Beware! If the answer is not bubbled in exactly right YIKES! It will be wrong!

32 Keep On Keeping On! If you get to a couple of questions that you just don t know, don t give up! Keep trying your best!

33 If you SNOOZE, You will Don t leave a question unanswered. You will not have ANY chance of getting it right. LOSE!

34 UNPACK the Question! Underline key words Number the parts of the? Plan how you will answer Answer using specific details Check off each part as you do it Keep up the great work

35 Check It Out! When you have completed the test, go back and check your work!
