Before you start taking an examination, read it through. Sometimes the first time that you read a question, you will be extremely overwhelmed by it. However, reading the test thoroughly will give you more time to let the question sink in.
• Read it through more than once if need be. However, do not waste a lot of time only in the reading exam.
• Read the directions carefully. While reading the directions, put your pen down. Do not answer any questions." Most students will go right to the questions without reading the directions at all...
• Go through the questions slowly. Do not skip words, and do not assume that you know that the question is asking. Make sure that you always read the questions thoroughly. If you provide a wonderful answer, but it is an answer to the wrong question, you are not going to get any points.
• Watch out for key words. If the question says "yes" or "no," and is a true or false question, the answer is most likely false. That being said, there are exceptions to every rule.
• Look for the most basic meaning. The reason why so many extremely intelligent students do not test well is because they look for deep and hidden meanings of questions.
