Try to eliminate some of the answer choices. Which are the ones that just do not make sense? Then choose your answer from the remaining choices. Answer all questions. The Test…….. Use your scratch paper! You will be working on your own during the test, and it helps to figure things out on paper. The test questions are not in any order. Some will be hard and some will be easy. Even if they seem hard, keep going. The answers are not in a pattern. Do not try to mark a certain number of A’s, B’s, C’s, D’s, or feel that one answer choice would not be correct if you used it on the question before. Try to find the best answer for each question. Even if you’re not sure, mark the one that you think would be best.
