Taking the Test
Listen attentively.
- Listen carefully to your teacher. How much time will you have? Can you use notes, a dictionary, or your handbook?
Read carefully.
- Take a quick look at the whole test, so you know which questions will take the most time.
- Then go back and read the directions carefully. Be on the lookout for words like always, only, all, and never.
- Don’t spend too much time on any one question.
