Test Taking TipsHow to become a better testerLexi Oliver, Staff Writer
Tests. Tests. Tests. Some-
times it seems that all I’m doing
is studying for tests! It’s stressful.
If you have ever thought to your-
self, “Teachers only give students
tests to hurt our grades,” then
you’re wrong. Teachers, believe
it or not, aren’t out to get us. Do
you really believe that teachers
enjoy grading the countless test
papers? No. They give us tests be-

ACT and SAT Tips
- Study, study, study! This may seem obvious but actually
studying until you know the material at hand.
- Get a good night’s rest! You don’t want to be falling asleep or
zoning out during the test!
- Eat before the test! Instead of sugary foods, try more natural

- Read every word of the directions and questions! Fully
understanding the given directions/questions is key to scoring
the score you want. Mark words like “except, always, never,”
because these words often eliminate answer choices.
Ȭȱȱȱ��ȱ���ę����ȱ��ȱ¢�������ȱ���ȱ¢���ȱ������¢ȱ��ȱ����ȱ¢���ȱ���¢ȱ����Ƿ Negative thoughts equal negative actions. Think positively!
- Pace yourself. If you go too fast, you might make silly mistakes;
ȱȱȱȱ�� ����ǰȱ��ȱ¢��ȱ��ȱ���ȱ��� ǰȱ¢��ȱ�����ȱ���ȱę����Ƿ
- Be sure to read ALL answer choices before choosing an
answer.
- When you come to a question that you’re not sure of the answer,
eliminate the answer choices that you know are “for sure” not
correct. Most tests have an answer choice that’s clearly not the
correct answer!
- When an unexpected question comes up or you have a pencil
malfunction, don’t panic. If your pencil breaks or your eraser
runs out, just chill. Take a deep breath and ask the instructor for
assistance.
- If time remains, check your work! You can never look over your
test too much.

- Don’t go so fast that you make careless errors! Allot time to
recheck your work before time is called.
- READING:
- Practice your reading by reading during your free time!
ȱȱȬȱȱ����ȱ���ȱ���������ȱę���Ƿȱ����ȱ�������Ȃ�ȱ���������ȱ��� ���ȱ���ȱ be found in directed paragraphs or lines, whereas other
passage’s questions ask about the passage as a whole.
- Annotate the passages as you read them. Mark key words and
phrases, that way you can look at the notes you made to
answer the questions!
- Learn as much as you can about the ACT instead of going in
and taking the test blindly. Knowing what to expect the test to
be like will help you know what and how to study.
- Refresh your knowledge and skills in the content areas you
studied or have not looked at in a while.
- Set aside small amounts of time for studying over an extended
period so you won’t have to “cram” at the end.
- Learn to pace yourself! Be sure to focus the entire time you are
taking the test; don’t waste time zoning out or staring at the
wall. Be sure to bring a watch because not all rooms have clocks.
- Mark your answer document correctly and use a #2 pencil! If
your document isn’t marked right, then the scores can’t give you
the correct score!
cause we are going to be tested
in life, and they want us to be
prepared. Even more shocking
is how much more disappointed
teachers are in us when we don’t
do well on tests more than we
are in ourselves! Some students
don’t do well on tests because
they are too lazy to study, but
others have testing anxiety.
Do you panic when you

you’re not alone. If you’re like

as soon as Mrs. Howse places the
paper on your desk, you draw
