Quizzes
and Tests!

One of the worst things in life:
knowing that you have a quiz or a test
looming ahead of you. Fear begins to set
in. Doubt settles over you. You don?t know
if you will be able to score a good grade.
But do not worry; you got this. It is easy
and normal to get worked up and nervous
about an upcoming test. Below are a few
tips and tricks to help ace that Spanish test
or math quiz.
Remember to study. Studying is
the most important thing when it comes to
getting a good score on a quiz or test.
Knowing the facts, going over lesson
questions, and memorizing the vocabulary
are key steps to getting that A+.
Ask the needed questions. In
order to know the answer, you have to pry
for information. Asking your teachers any
questions that you have helps you to
understand the material better. Maybe it is
a tricky math formula or a confusing
vocabulary definition. Teachers are super
helpful when it comes to shedding some
light on a problem.
Don?t get down on yourself.
Self-motivation is key in maintaining focus
and ambition. How you talk to yourself
determines how you will view yourself! If
you believe you got it, then stand by it! The
only obstacle you have is yourself. Work
"You must expect great things of
yourself before you can do them."
hard and it will pay off.

Take all the time that is necessary.
Going slow and taking your time helps
maintain attention, focus, and drive.
Rushing through a quiz or test can result in
choosing the wrong answer or missing a
question. Take your time, read the
problems correctly and review the
answers. Make sure you have enough time
to complete the test in one sitting. It is
better to go slow and finish strong, than to
enter the test quickly and end up with a
bad grade.
