Test Day Tips



Be prepared: The night before the test, gather everything you'll need:

  • Admission ticket
  • Valid form of photo identification
  • Several No. 2 pencils
  • Calculator* with fresh batteries
  • Watch
  • High-energy snack

Don't cram: The best thing to do the evening before the test is to get a good night's sleep.

Get into test mode: Calm, rested, confident, and ready.

Dress in layers: Be prepared for extreme temperatures. You must be comfortable to perform at your best.

Don't spend too much time on one question: Each question is worth the same score. If a question is confusing or too time-consuming, move to the next question. You can always come back to harder questions, if time permits.

Guess aggressively: If you don't know an answer, eliminate the choices you know are wrong then make an educated guess from the remaining options.

*Note: cell phones or other digital equipment are not allowed.
