You need to bring your calculator with you to homeroom for the math test.

Test Taking Strategies• Use a post-it note to keep track of where you are on your bubble

sheet.• On the post-it note, write the number of any problems you weren’t

sure about. • You must keep your test booklet open and continue to work the

whole time. • If you finish, go back over the problems that you wrote down on

the sticky note. • Eliminate the two answers that make no sense to you (normally one

is totally out there)• With a minute left you should fill in your remaining answers with an

educated guess• There will be a timer on the board so keep track of your time• It is better to guess then to leave an answer blank• Don’t second guess yourself. (People talk themselves out of the

right answer)
