General Test Taking Tips and Strategies for Alleviating Exam Anxiety
Plan to arrive on time and in enough time to find the Assessment Centre.
Know what items you can and cannot bring with you.
To avoid experiencing test anxiety, approach the test with a positive attitude.
Negative self-talk can ruin your ability to do well on a skills assessment.
Listen carefully to all pre-test instructions prior to starting your skills assessment.
Deal with test anxiety by preparing in advance, taking your time, and pacing yourself
throughout the skills assessment.
During the skills assessment, read the entire question and all choices before
attempting to answer.
The math skills assessment is a multiple choice test. For multiple-choice questions,
eliminate the choices that you know are incorrect first. Then attempt to find and
choose the answer.
Usually your first choice of the answer is the right one. Do not second guess yourself.
