In the test…
Time yourself
Keep a watch in front of you and check the time regularly. Make sure you know how long you should take on each part. Don’t fall behind and run out of time! After marking your answer, quickly move on.
Stay alert and concentrate
The test lasts two hours, and it is easy to become distracted during this time. Make sure you focus all your energy on the test.
Never leave a blank
Always make a guess if you don’t know the answer. You are not penalized for wrong answers, so you have nothing to lose.
Eliminate answer choices whenever you can
Your chances of guessing the correct answer increase if you first eliminate any answer choices you think are incorrect.
Be aware of distractors
Make sure you know the common traps used in the test, and avoid them.
Trust your instincts
Don’t waste time changing your mind. Answering a question, move on.
Use effective test-taking techniques
Make time to preview the questions whenever you can. Try to predict the answers. Remember that skimming and scanning are effective reading skills.
