Take the tests, timing yourself (20 minutes).
You may use a scientific calculator. Note those questions you missed. Use the “WBST-M Companion Study Site” link for targeted review. o Click on the item number of your incorrect answers. o The link will take you to Khan Academy for review of that operation. o Review and retest until you are confident.
Hints for taking a timed test:
o Not everyone can finish all 45 questions, but you should try to answer as many as you can. You should not go so fast that you make mistakes, but do not spend too much time on any one question. o Your score is based on the number of correct answers. If you think you know the answer, but are uncertain, select that answer and move on to the next question. o Questions become more difficult as you progress through the test, so you should not skip around. o On the official test, you may review your answers if you have time left.
