  10. Taking the Test Tips to Help You…

  11. Take Short Breaks • Try taking a few breaks during the exam by stopping for a moment, shutting your eyes, and taking some deep breaths. • Periodically clearing your head in this way can help you stay fresh during the exam session

  12. Don't Skip Around • Skipping around the exam can waste valuable time, because at some point you will have to spend time searching for the skipped questions and re-reading them. • If you are truly baffled by a question, mark the answer you believe to be right, place a question mark next to the question, and come back to it later if you have time.

  13. Don't Be Afraid to Change Your First Answer • Even though first answers are often correct, you shouldn't be afraid to change your original answer if, upon reflection, it seems wrong to you.

  14. What To Do If More Than One Answer Seems Correct • Ask yourself whether the answer you're considering completely addresses the question • If, after your very best effort, you cannot choose between two alternatives, try vividly imagining each one as the correct answer. If you are like most people, you will often "feel" that one of the answers is wrong
