Testing Tips for the Reading and Writing Exam
On this assessment, it is better to guess than not answer a question. |
In multiple choice questions, you can only choose 1 answer. If you think 2 or more are correct, you should reread and select the answer you think is best. |
Read directions carefully. Are you on topic? Are you meeting all specifications such as what to include, how long your answer should be, etc. |
If asked to write a letter, be sure you have included 3 parts. You must have a greeting, the body or message, and a closing. |
Look for key words or information when reading to help you understand. |
Read every answer choice before deciding on the correct answer. Eliminate answers you know are incorrect. |
