Apple Denmark Koala.\n\nI enjoyed that thanks much.

Take your own hint.  If one just gives you the answer, you don't learn anything.\n\nStart with $3.\nConsider her and the 4 friends (5 total).\nLast consider the teacher.\n\nEasy as pie.

Learn the prefixes and suffixes -- this will help you weed out incorrect answers on the test as well as choose correct answers.\n\nAlso, I always found it useful to post short lists of words I needed to memorize (both for the GRE and when studying a foreign language) over the sinks in the kitchen and bathroom -- that way I can review when I brush my teeth and do the dishes.  \n\nFlash cards also work wonders.  I like to color-code mine.  You could do yours by parts-of-speech or into groups of words with similar meanings.   That way if you come across a word and don't remember the definition, you might remember the color of its flash card and be able to guess.\n\nGood luck!

What type of information are you supposed to get? Numerical or categorical? A measure or a count?\n\nWell, you do understand the meaning of 'original,' right? You're supposed to come up with something. \n\nI'm still not sure what type of data you need. You need the response to be a number, like height? Or do you need to get yes/no and count the number of each that you get?\n\nI have had students come up with some pretty cool questions. Like comparing boys to girls on their answer to "When you take a shower, do you face toward the showerhead or away?"\n\nThere is a pretty cool segment from "This American Life" on superpowers. A guy asked people, "If you could choose between the following two superpowers, which would it be: flight or invisibility?" "What would you do with your power?"\n\nIf you need numbers, you could ask how many songs on their iPod. How many numbers stored in their cell phone.

So you know the material, you just gotta relax. Read the questions slowly, and twice if you need to. Instead of looking at your choices first, think about the question, and what answer you would chose. Then look at the choices for the answer you came up with. If it isn't there, then obviously, you don't know it, but use the process of elimination. Look at each possible answer. Which one is the obviously not right one? Eliminate that one. If this test is math, look for little differences. If not, just go through the choices until you have it down to the last one. Never skip a question and not answer it!!! If you don't know the answer, eliminate the obvious one, and then as many more as you can, then just pick one. You might get lucky and pick the right one, which, even if you don't, is always better than not answering at all. I hope this has helped!! :)\n\n\nHere, try this link i found:\n\nhttp://www.testtakingtips.com/

I make a list of the facts I want to learn. You have four senses you can use to learn these facts. Hearing, sight, memory, and concentration.  If you can use all four you will learn the facts more rapidly because they all use different parts of the brain.  \n\nBy looking at the fact and saying it to yourself, shutting your eye and trying to visualise it in your mind and then writing it on a sheet of paper it will help you to remember it.  \n\nThen make up a hypothetical test of these facts, set it aside for a few minutes and then try to answer the questions.

Please visit the reference link to know the rules of the game!\n\nA Brief Overview:\nEach row and column of the WHOLE BIG SQUARE(containing nine smaller squares, which in turn contain nine number placeholders each holding one number) should contain all the numbers from 1-9. The individual smaller squares should contain all the numbers from 1-9 too with no repetition whatsoever! Get it? Or follow the links!

OK i will try to answer this\nyou ask a question -5\nand answer a question +2\nyou choose best answer +3\nso you break even.\nso if you want to ask a question try to help an answer a question then you are even.\nIf you want more points answer a question fully, clearly and to the point so you have a better chance of getting 10 points (like i am doing here, hopefully).\nAlso try to help and vote for best answer ( 1 point )\nIf you do the math you will get there eventually\nHope that helps and thank you for asking\nRating- do not count-- you will not be penalised if you have -2 rating but if you have say +2 rating and your answer is chosen as best answer then you get and extra 2 points on top of your 10 points\nOK, I find it difficult to understand exactly what you want.\nThere is no -2 type of question. What could have happened that you asked a question and it said altert -2 on your avator. This is a coincidence. May be you have earned 3 points from some where. For example you could have chosen best answer and then asked a question which will give a sum of -2 instead of -5

place a value inside each case, say 5 pts., 3 pts, 9pts, etc.  \ndivide your class into two groups.  if you're preparing to give a test on community helpers, ask each child a question.  if answered correctly he/she can pick a suitcase and uncover its value.  rotate questions from one team to the other.  when all the suitcases have been picked, count up the points rec'd by each team.  the team with the most points wins.\nwheel of fortune.  take key concepts and quiz students about the letters in the concept.  if your concept is POLICEMAN, ask the students (one by one) to name a possible letter contained in the word.  the winner is the child who guesses the answer first.

Seems like a pretty interesting riddle. I am so sorry that it didn't get the response it deserved. I think you should have placed it in the "Jokes and Riddles" sub-category under the category "Entertainment & Music". It would have garnered an immense response there.\n\nAnyways, let me try here-\n4 is golden,eh? I think here 4 somehow refers to "silence"\nNow, 5 is silence. Ummm.... what should be 5? I give up.\n\nGood Riddle. Try posting it in the "Jokes & Riddles" category.

Use this little jingle that my Uncle Ed taught me:\n\n5 times six is thirty-six!\n8 time eleven is a twenty-two!\n4 times pi is a fist in the eye!\n3 times 3 is ze-e-e-e-ro!\n\nThere is a second verse, but I can't remember it.\n\nEmail me if you need help with division.\n\nJohn Z

Practice with easy stuff that you can quickly remember.\n\nFor instance, if you want to be able to add numbers quickly, remember how to add numbers 1 through 9 to each other (ie 5 + 9 = 14; 2+8 = 10). Once you know these, try writing down double digit numbers and try to solve them in your head.  You will already know how to do the ones column.\n\nFor instance:\n   45\n+19\n-------\n64\n\nLearn easy problems first then move on to hard ones.  You can apply this to subtraction, division, and multiplication too.  It really is just practice that will make you better.
