  1. OR How to Succeed on your Science Test!

  2. The Night Before Testing • Get AT LEAST 8 hours of sleep! Count backward from when you need to wake up to get ENOUGH sleep. • Put a few #2 pencils with erasers in your binder.

  3. The Morning of Testing Eat a healthy breakfast X Not just Carbs - sugary breakfast cereal or donut = sugar high, then big CRASH Sleepy  • Carb & Protein Dynamic Duo provides short & long-term energy; prevents a drop in blood sugar for several hours Focused 

  4. The Morning of Testing • Think Positive! • Remind yourself of all the work you’ve done. • Your brain will help you remember. • If you get nervous during testing, take 3 deep breaths to relax yourself.

  5. Use Science RULES Read the question carefully Underline what the question is asking Look carefully at pictures, tables, labels Eliminate (X) the wrong answers & Explain your thinking Select the correct answer

  6. Pace Yourself • Answer the easiest questions first (This will fire up your dendrites!) • Circle the hard ones, and go back to them later • Use your completed questions to find context clues for the harder questions • Trust your first instinct. It is usually correct!

  7. Cover Up Answer Choices • Use an index card to cover the answer choices and THINK! Let your brain use your memory. • Read the graph/table and question then construct your response to the side. Next, look at the answer choices. • Find what you wrote!

  8. Use Process of Elimination If you are stumped, try this: • In the answer choices, if ONE WORD makes the answer wrong, X it out. • Go through all the choices this way. What choice is left?

  9. Skip, Return, Check If you finish early: • Check scantron and booklet ‘line by line’ for skips • Make sure that you completed every question

  10. Be Persistent! Never, ever give up! Keep working and follow these strategies for your best effort! We BELIEVE in you – so BELIEVE in YOURSELF!
