Allow yourself time to organize your responses to short- answer and essay questions. This will reduce the time needed to revise your responses.

Answer every question.

Unless there is a penalty for incorrect answers, attempt to answer every question, you may be able to receive partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete correctly.

Ask Questions.

If you cannot properly comprehend something, ask your teacher for assistance. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin.
