TRANSCRIPT

Slash the Trash!

Read ALL choices.

Eliminate any choices that you know are wrong

answers.

Think carefully over the choices left.

Choose what you think is the best answer.

AA

C

Jail the Detail

Highlight, underline, or circle the details in the

questions!

This helps you focus on exactly what the question is.

Example: Find the number that is not even.

Extra! Extra!

Read All About It!

Read the directions, questions and texts carefully!

Reread if you are confused or if you need to find an

answer.

Be Smart With Charts & Zap the

Map!

Charts give you

information you need to

answer questions. Don’t

ignore it! Be smart

and use the chart!

Take Your Test Twice

When you have completed the test, go back and

check your answers.

Maps give you

information you need to

answer questions.

Don’t ignore it! Zap

the map!

Make sure that you didn’t leave any answers

unmarked or you will not have the chance to get it

right!

Most importantly, don’t give up and give the test

your best! Taking your test “twice” will help you

succeed!

Be a Whiz With the

Grid!

A machine grades your tests. If it isn’t bubbled just

right. . . YIKES! You won’t get credit for your hard

work.

Plug It In, Plug It In!

F G H J

Once you have chosen your answer, plug it in and

make sure it makes sense.

Example: If the question is 100 - ? = 60 and you think

the answer is 40. Plug it in and see if you are right!

100 - ? = 40

What could the answer

be? Plug it in and see it

makes sense!

Be Slick and

Predict!I think the

answer could be . . .

Read the question carefully. Predict what the answer

could be before you read the choices! This will help

you pick the correct answer.
