A7 ¬- Do not leave anything blank! Even if you don’t know the answer, take an educated guess. The professor might give you partial credit. The only exception to this is if you have been informed that incorrect answers will count against you. This very rare though. #adpichat

A7 – If a scantron test, make sure your scantron matches the answers you selected on the hard copy of the test. #adpichat

[ADPiScholar @ADPi_Scholar]

A7 – Go thru the test to make sure you didn’t miss any questions, and that you answered everything completely. #adpichat

Q7 – What should I do before I hand in the exam? #adpichat

Any other strategies you’ve used when stuck on a question? #adpichat

[ADPiScholar @ADPi_Scholar]

A6 – Sometimes you will just have to guess. But first eliminate as many of the wrong choices as you can. #adpichat

[ADPiScholar @ADPi_Scholar]

A6 – Don’t be afraid to skip a question and come back. Watch for that on your scantron. Mark it on your test and move on. Research shows students who skip around do better. #adpichat

Q6 – What’s the best thing to do if I get stuck? #adpichat

What other tips and testing strategies have you found useful while taking tests? #adpichat

[ADPiScholar @ADPi_Scholar]

A5 – For essay tests, make an outline with bullet points to follow. It will help you formulate your argument and use your time more wisely. The 5 paragraph format is usually best. #adpichat

[ADPiScholar @ADPi_Scholar]

A5 – For example if the multiple choice section is worth 5 points each for a total of 90 points while the true false is each 1 point, you would start with the multiple choice section. #adpichat

[ADPiScholar @ADPi_Scholar]

A5 – Quickly review the exam to determine what types of questions are on there and the point values for the different questions and sections so you’ll know how to pace yourself. #adpichat

[ADPiScholar @ADPi_Scholar]

Q5 – What are some good strategies to use when you are actually taking the exam? #adpichat

[ADPiScholar @ADPi_Scholar]

Any other techniques you use to help you relax on test day? #adpichat

[ADPiScholar @ADPi_Scholar]

A4 - Work out the stress. Maybe you don't have time for a full workout but try a light jog or some yoga stretches in your dorm. #adpichat

[ADPiScholar @ADPi_Scholar]

A4 – Pack everything you’ll need for the next day the night before. Make a list if you need to. You won’t want the distraction of forgetting something or having to run back to your room and wasting extra time. #adpichat

[ADPiScholar @ADPi_Scholar]

A4 – Limit your caffeine intake for the day. Caffeine can actually increase anxiety. #adpichat

[ADPiScholar @ADPi_Scholar]

A4 – If you’re having trouble turning your brain off, try “Relax Lite,” a guided meditation app, or “Relax Melodies,” an app that offers both a guided meditation and soothing background noises. #adpichat
