Test Review |
EOCIn this portion of the site you will be able to look over different materials to study for the English II end of course text. I know it may seem pointless to study for this exam, but by taking review tests you are able to become more familiar with the way the exam will be set up; this will help you to over come any test anxiety that you may have. On this page I will also post test taking strategies to help you prepare for your exam. I hope this helps.

- Test Preparation Tips Preparation for your first test should begin on the first day of class; this includes paying attention during class, taking good notes, studying, completing homework assignments and reviewing study materials on a regular basis. Budget your time, make sure you have sufficient time to study so that you are well prepared for the test.
- Go to review sessions, pay attention to hints that the instructor may give about the test. Take notes and ask questions about items you may be confused about.
- Ask your teacher to specify the areas that will be emphasized on the test. (Reading Comprehension.....HINT HINT!)
- Go over any material from practice tests,class notes and other material you may have
- Eat before a test. Having food in your stomach will give you energy and help you focus.
- Just avoid eating heavy food because they will make you sleepy.
- Don't try to pull an all nighter.
- Put the main ideas/information/formulas onto a sheet that can be quickly reviewed many times
- Try to show up at least 5 minutes before the test will start.
- Set your alarm and have a backup alarm set as well.
- Go to the bathroom before walking into the exam room.
During
- Bring at least two pens/pencils with good erasers, a calculator with enough batteries and any other resources that your instructor allows you to. Bring a watch to the test so that you can better pace yourself.
- Keep a positive attitude throughout the whole test and try to stay relaxed. If you start to feel nervous take a few deep breaths to relax.
- Keep your eyes on your own paper, you don't want to appear to be cheating and cause unnecessary trouble for yourself.
- Do the easiest problems first. Don't stay on a problem that you are stuck on, especially when time is a factor.
- Do the problems that have the greatest point values first.
- Pace yourself, don't rush . Read the entire question and pay attention to the details.
- Ask the instructor for clarification if you don't understand what they are asking for on the test.
- Write legibly. If the grader can't read what you wrote, they'll most likely mark it wrong.
- Always read the whole question carefully. Don't make assumptions about what the question might be.
- If you don't know an answer, skip it. Go on with the rest of the test and come back to it later. Other parts of the test may have some information that will help you out with that question.
- Don't worry if others finish before you. Focus on the test in front of you.
- If you have time left when you are finished, look over your test. Make sure that you have answered all the questions. Only change an answer if you misread or misinterpreted the question because the first answer that you put is usually the correct one. Watch out for careless mistakes and proofread your essay and/or short answer questions.
- Double check to make sure that you put your first and last name on the test.
After
- Breath the test is over, so stop stressing. If you did your very best then you did your best. No one can be upset with you for it.
- Stop thinking about the test and do something relaxing or fun.
- Save the test as study material for future cumulative tests.
