考试小贴士

  • 给 yourself plenty of time to study before the test, there concepts you’ll want to review and review again.  You won’t remember what you need to in order to pass if you are just cramming at the last minute.
  • 进行定时练习测试. This will help you learn the format of the tests and how much time to take per section.  Each question 有 the potential to show up on the test.
  • Review the content that will be on each exam, consider your preparation for each subtest, consider your test taking abilities, and finally consider any deadlines by which you need to completely pass all subtests.  Then decide your best course of action.
  • Create a study plan for each test: 4 weeks, 2 weeks, 1 weeks and week of. 不要死记硬背!
  • Plan ahead on how many tests to take at the same time. the amount of time you have to take the test varies according to how many subtests you are taking. 你可以拿一个, 两个, 三个, or even four subtests during one test date, as long as you sign up for each subtest in advance.
  • Be sure to read each question carefully.
  • If you don’t know the answer to a multiple choice question, make your best guess (don’t leave it out).
  • 相信自己的直觉.  Your first answer to a question is probably the right answer. 
  • Don’t spend too much time on one question. Come back to it later if necessary.
  • 在“构建 反应”的问题, 阅读全文 question, and respond to all parts of the question. 即使 you don’t think 你可以 answer it correctly, do as much as 你可以. You will get credit for partially correct answers. You may know more than you think you do.
