TAKING TESTS
- Scan the entire test first.
- Do those problems which appear easy first. Go back to the harder ones later. Problems which at first appear difficult may seem easier on the second reading.
- Never leave a multiple-choice question blank unless you will be penalized for wrong answers. Try to use process of elimination to narrow down your choices.
- Do not be intimidated by classmates who leave the test session early.
- Check your work if you have time. The easier problems especially should be checked for computational errors, miscopied numbers, or any type of mechanical mistake.
- Learn from your mistakes! Do not throw out returned exams, but correct every error, then keep the test to prepare for the Final Exam.
