Test-Taking

Part 2

During the Test:

Read the Directions. It’s important that you follow the instructions exactly. For example, some questions may have more than one correct answer.

Answer Easy Questions First. Doing this can jog your memory about useful facts. You may also come across information that can help you with other questions.

Answer Every Question. Unless there is a penalty for wrong answers, try to answer every question; you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete.

Ask Questions. If a question isn’t clear, talk to your teacher. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin.

Tip 5: Keep a List of Questions.

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they've read the text and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, and to others, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.

The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book… and a pen.
