PUT THE TEST

Read the following test and choose the correct answers

Some students bring good luck charms to school on test days. They might keep a four-leaf clover in their pocket or wear a pair of lucky
underwear. While these things can’t hurt, there are better ways of doing well on a test.
test

Writing a test is like running a marathon. Both activities require you to do your best for a long time. There are a couple of strategies you can
use to stay relaxed, focused and motivated for the whole testtest.

Runners train before a big race. They practice their skills in the same conditions they will face in the marathon. You can train for a test in a
similar way. For a reading test,
test there may be comprehension questions on vocabulary, main idea, details, cause and effect, sequence and
inferences. You may also be asked to summarize the text. For a writing test,
test you will likely be asked to write a paragraph about a given topic.
The topics will often involve describing something, explaining how to do something, telling a story about something, or giving your opinion
about something. The goal of a test is usually to independently apply the skills you have learned and practiced in class.

Just like before a big race, it is a good idea to take care of your basic needs before the test begins. For example, get plenty of sleep the night
before. During the day of the testtest, get enough to eat. Go to the bathroom ahead of time. These things will help you focus.

When you get the test,

test don’t forget to put your name on it. Then, take a quick look at each page. A long test may have different sections.
Notice how many marks each section is worth. Like a runner, you will want to be careful about your pace. If you have a limited amount of time
to complete the test,
test you will want to leave yourself enough time for the sections that are worth the most marks.

Now you are ready to begin answering the questions. Read the instructions and questions very carefully. Make sure you understand what you
are being asked to do. If you do not understand a question, ask your instructor. If you feel nervous, you may want to build your confidence by
starting with the questions that are easiest for you.

Some runners use positive self-talk when they are struggling. They tell themselves things like, “I feel good about myself and my abilities. I am
not going to worry. I will do the best that I can.” Give this strategy a try. You can also take short brain breaks between sections to take some
deep breaths, roll your neck and shoulders, and massage your temples.

During a reading test,

test it can help to do a quick pre-reading exercise you have been taught, even if it is not part of the instructions. For
example, try scanning the text to figure out the topic before you read the whole thing more carefully. Then think about what you already
know about the topic. Predict the details that might be in the reading. For a writing test,
test pre-writing is a very important first step. Brainstorm
your ideas and organize them before you start writing. Some students skip these two things, but they probably shouldn’t. These activities
warm up your brain so that it will work more efficiently.

Before you hand in your test,

test review your answers. Unlike a marathon, it doesn’t matter who finishes first during a test.
test Check your grammar
and spelling. Make sure your instructor will be able to read your handwriting. Finally, be sure that you answered every question.

Follow these tips and, if your lucky underwear doesn’t work, you will have a solid back-up plan in place.
Match the questions to their answers
