Pace yourself. Since the allocation of available time to each subtest is your own responsibility, pacing yourself is very important. Before the test session, you should have a plan regarding how much time you will devote to each of the subtests for which you are registered; in general, try to stick to your plan and finish each subtest within the planned time. At the end of the five-hour session, you will be required to stop working and return all test materials.
Read carefully. Read the directions and the questions carefully. Read all response options for multiple choice questions. Remember that the multiple-choice questions typically call for the best answer. Do not choose the first response option that seems reasonable; read and evaluate all choices to find the best answer. This does not mean that you should read meanings into the questions. They are intended to be straightforward, not tricky. It is often the case that your first choice, based on your knowledge and a thorough reading of the question and all options, is in fact the best answer. |
