Exam Week Study Tips
The Day of the Exam
- Eat a good breakfast
- Get to school early and warm up your brain with a quick review
- Make sure you have everything you’ll need for the test
- Read all the instructions before beginning the test
- Go through and answer all the questions you know for certain - save time for the hard stuff
- If you’re stuck, circle the question and come back later - sometimes the answer shows up in another question

- Go back and check your answers to make sure you didn’t leave anything blank or skip any questions
- Use all the time you’re given – there are no bonus points for finishing first!
