Rephrase Difficult Phrases.
To understand questions better, rewrite them in your own word. Be careful not to change the meaning.

Organize your Thoughts before you Write.
Take the time to organize your responses to short-answer and essay questions. You’ll reduce the time you need to revise.

Write Neatly.
Be sure you don’t lose points on answers the teacher can’t read.

Use all the time you’re given. If you finish early, don’t leave. Use the extra time to proofread and review your answers.

“Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement.”
-Matt Biondi

Persistence is a great adjective. Being persistent can change failure into Success! Instead of being snotty, with a bad attitude – act persistent with yourself and show others that your positive attitude is opening the doors to achievement.

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.

“Gold medals don’t make champions… hard work does.”
-ANON

What this quote means is that Gold Medals are basically just a reward for the effort you put in. What is the real deal is the hard work and dedication you put in, that is what matters most. It shows a lot about you too – for example, in a science fair: The kid with the biggest project gets a Gold Medal. But he really doesn't even know how to explain what he did. Let’s say you built an Ant Farm – you tell the judges what you did, why, explain more about the ants and their homes, nurture, care, etc. You definitely earn first prize and a blue ribbon because of the hard work you completed.

Read Between the Lines

Make a judgment about the site’s reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

·        Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it’s more likely that the other facts on the site are also accurate.

·         Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric, or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased.

·         Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence, and weather the site presents only one point of view.

·         Check the links to the sources that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, weather in print or online, should include a bibliography.
