Preparing For a Test

        Testing is always a difficult procedure. Preparing to test is no different. In this blog post I am going to help you prepare for any of your upcoming tests. I know how stressful it is to be unprepared so I hope this helps.
1. Get a good rest beforehand.
Falling asleep during a test is never a good thing. It will make you unfocused which will lessen your chances of doing well on your test. Prevent this by getting as much rest as possible so you feel awake and energized.
2. Eat a filling breakfast.
There are many things that can distract you during a test and an empty stomach is one of them. While taking your test, you will be thinking about how you should of eaten a good breakfast instead of the problem that you are on. That will make you lose time and not do as well as you could of that you could with a full stomach.
3. Review what you have learned.
Mean, median, mode, and range are almost always questions asked on tests. Most people have forgotten or mixed up the definitions for them so reviewing will be helpful. This also goes for many other problems, equations, and formulas that you have learned in that past and have appeared often during testing so reviewing those as well will help.
4. Take notes.
If you have scratch paper, which everyone almost always has, while taking a test, do not be afraid to use it. Working out all of your work in your head can get it mixed up which can lead to you getting the wrong answer. Why risk getting the wrong answer when you can neatly plan it out in front of you? This helps a lot.
5. Relax.
Feeling nervous while taking a test is normal, but feeling relaxed will make you more confident and at ease while you are testing. This will make you more quick to answer questions and sure of yourself when you turn in your test materials so just relax.
        I hope these tips have helped you. Remember, everyone goes through testing so just do your best and you'll feel great.
