• Read all directions carefully
• Skim selections to attempt at identifying the main idea
• Skim questions so that you know what to look for when reading the passage
• Use the process of elimination on multiple choice questions
Test-Taking Strategies
![Page 24: Parent University](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812cd8550346895d919745/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Use confident answers to previous questions to assist on difficult questions
• If you are stuck on a question, move on and return to it later
• Take time to answer all questions. A blank response is the same as an incorrect response
