Tackling test questions

Multiple choice: Read all the answers before making your choice. Remember, your first instinct is usually best-so don't change your answer unless you're sure.

True/false: Look for words such as never, always, all, and none. They're usually in false answers. Words like may or often are generally found in true answers.

Essay: Read essay questions at least twice. Then make a list of important thoughts or key points about each question before writing your essay. Read through the finished essay to be sure you've included all your key points.

Be sure to have your child receive a good night's sleep and provide a good breakfast.
