Did you know that in true/false questions, there are most questions that have a true response than a false one? Did you know that a good night of sleep is more beneficial than a night without sleep and cramming? Did you know that questions with extremes such as always and never tend to be false?
Before the test:
- Study throughout the semester. Plan study time instead of cramming.
- Get plenty of sleep.

During the test:

- Plan your test time by estimating how much time it should take to do each section.
- Take a quick look at the test.
- Do the easiest questions first to boost confidence. Then, do the harder ones.
- Do not leave the problems worth the most points for the end.
- Highlight units (such as inches or centimeters) in problems so you don’t make a simple error.
- Draw a diagram when needed. (Or chart. Or table.)
