What are the best effective ways of doing well on your test?

Of course studying is important, but I bet you already know that!  Here are some other things that will help you out.\nDon't stress.  If you are stressed or nervous during the test, you will tend to make silly mistakes.  If you are well prepared just take the test and remind yourself that you did everything you could to prepare.\nFocus.  Make sure you are not distracted.  If there is noise distracting you (even something silly like the person next to you keeps breathing really loud), don't be afraid to ask a teacher if you can move.\nSleep.  If you study all night the night before, you will be too tired to remember and focus.\nEat.  If you have a good breakfast and drink water, it will improve your concentration.\nIf you really get nervous about tests, study ahead of time, and then the night before the test, don't study for it at all.  Let your mind focus on something else and relax before your big day!

Get started!  It's the best way to get done.  I agree with doing the easy stuff first - you get some of it out of the way and you get a good feeling of accomplishment / progress so that you don't burn out too fast.\n\nWork smart, not hard - use your resources (I don't mean cheating!  That will only mess you up at test time.  I mean valid resources) and "create" more as you can.  For instance, \n\n- for tests, I used to make flash cards of the major material.  You can bring them with you most places to study in the car, while you're waiting for other things, etc.  Writing out the flash cards may help you remember things, they're easy to transport and they focus your studying to the relevant facts each time rather than the whole of the material.\n\n- for written homework, this will often just take time, but you can still bring some of your smaller books with you to be able to work during other free periods (waiting at a dr's office, waiting for your other classes to start, etc.)  \n\nUse your time wisely - it's easy to waste time or to get very caught up in the amount you have to do so that you are paralyzed into inaction.  Be careful of this.  Consider a tutor if you're having difficulty with certain subjects - in the long run, your improved understanding will save you a lot of time.  You can also consider a time management or stress management class if your school offers one.\n\nIf you truly have too much, talk to your parents about cutting out some of the other activities or classes.  You do not have to work 24/7 and should have time to do things you enjoy as well, so make sure your workload, though probably challenging, is realistic.

The best thing to do is to believe in yourself, first. If you go in afraid of the test there is a good chance it will kick your butt.\n\nWhile taking the test, if you feel anxious just put the pencil down, close your eyes and take a deep breath in and exhale. You may need to do it a couple times to relax but it works.\n\nAnd remember to take each question on it's own. Read all directions, read each question, look at the options and re-read the question before you make your choice. Eliminate the obvious and focus on what the question is asking.\n\nThe night before your test, try to eat a healthy dinner with veggies, some fruit. Get a good nights rest, a good 7-8 hours and no more than 9. The morning of the test be sure to eat a balanced breakfast. (That doesn't include sugary cereal--whole grains, protein, fruit, milk...)\n\nIt seems like a lot, but it helps me. Just KNOW that you can do it, and you will do it.

how long do you have before youre test date? i recommend breaking your studying into different sections, and making time every single day. you probably should take a sample test first to see what areas you need the most improvement with. you can get a sample test here: http://www.ssat.org/\n\nfor math it's pretty easy to brush up on the basics if you understood the main concepts the first time you learned them in school.\n\nfor vocabulary there are vocab lists you can get to study from (which is basically like memorizing) but i've always found looking at the words themselves to be most helpful. break them down into parts. the word "confusion," for instance, looks like "con" and "fusion." you can figure out that "fusion" is the noun form of "to fuse" which would be bringing together different parts. "con" is a negative, or the opposite of something, so con-fusion would seem to be breaking up the parts that were once together. that's not exactly the precise definition but it gets you close enough that you could guess the right answer from your choices (you know it's negative and about order or disarray). try to approach your multiple choice questions that way, by eliminating the options that definitely don't work.\n\nfor reading they're testing how well you understand what you're reading and can figure out the main points of the paragraphs. try to summarize the essays into one or two sentences. what is the new idea the author is trying to say? what wouldn't be common knowledge? a lot of times the extra details aren't as important.\n\nfor writing make sure your grammar is perfect: noun, verb, punctuation. also try to write a paragraph the same way the reading selections are formed: include a topic sentence and then explain in more detail why you are claiming what you do.\n\nyou might make a light mark to the left of any answers you skip if you're not sure of them, so you can go back if you have time. but focus on getting as many answers done as you can from those you're more confident about.\n\ngood luck!

1. read each question carefully.\n2. on your first pass, answer only the questions you are certain of.\n3. make a second pass through the test, carefully reading the remaining questions.\n4. make your best attempt at answering each remaining question.\n5. if you have time, go back through the entire exam, carefully re-reading each question, AND your answer to it.

Start a study group with people you find interesting.  They will make learning the material interesting.  Take good notes during class, type them out and print them on index cards.  Make one card per day be your best friend.  Read it in the bathroom, during breakfast, during lunch, while riding to and from school, before you go to bed and right when you wake up.  Talk to your teacher about tutoring.  Drink a soda and eat candy right before the test.

The best method to prepare for the ACT test is to relax -- work hard in your classes in High School, and just get good sleep for the week before. \n\nBRUSH up your math and science skills -- because these are the areas where most students have the most difficult time -- reading comprehension as well is quite difficult for a lot of students.

Try the series called Vocabulary for Achievement from Great Source Books. It has six levels of difficulty and is aimed at words often used on standardized tests. \n\nThe reading is something that you must simply practice doing. You could try timing yourself as a method to improve speed. Usually in standardized tests passages are about 200-750 words in length. So give yourself some passages that long and try scanning them as quickly as possible. I find many students improve their speed if they read the questions first, then they know what they are looking for. \n\nHesitation in speaking is usually based on feeling like you are going to make a mistake and embarrass yourself in public. The only thing you can do is practice speaking. Don't worry about making mistakes -- everyone does, even native speakers. However, I find that my Turkish and Spanish both get easier to communicate in after two or three glasses of wine... Give it a try!

repetition is key. make notecards and carry them with you. study with other people and take turn asking questions.

The most effective way to study, in your case, begins by calling the College Board and postponing your test. While  you will certainly score a certain number of points without preparing for the test (or stress-prepping), you will undoubtedly need to re-take the test at least once to get to your target scores. Aside from wasting the fee, you'll also be wasting hours of your life, not to mention adding sub-par scores to your transcripts. \n\nInstead, take a free practice test with Kaplan, and spend 6-12 weeks studying your weaknesses. Then you can show up for the real thing knowing that you won't even have to do it again.

I spent 23 years in schooling, and I will let you in on one of my great secrets. I did not find this out until very late in my academic career, but when I did, it worked miracles.\n\nHere is the secret: before the test, distill all of the information down to a single side of a single piece of paper. That's it.\n\nCollecting your thoughts and organizing the information will help you understand everything. PLUS, after you have made the piece of paper, you only need to study from one piece of paper, rather than a page here and a page there.\n\nHope this idea works as well for you as it did for me.
