Testing Tactics Two Check Your Answers Then Check Your Answers Again.

As recommended by Planet College you are now intent on taking the entire time alloted for the test. If you have not practiced this approach to test taking you may wonder what to do with the time if you actually finish the test with time left. 

This is what to do. It is always wise to check your answers. And then check your answers again. This is to assure yourself that you have the correct and complete answer to the examination question. Since you are now using all of the time allotted for the test you have time to do this, answer checking.

Answer checking is an essential step toward getting the grade you wish on the test and for the course. Answer checking is particularly useful if your testing involves a Scantron(c) .  Under the pressure of testing, filling in a Scantron(c) often becomes problematic for average students. It is possibly due to the way they are laid out, roughly the equivalent of an eye-chart test. Hurried test takers can easily mark the wrong space. Very frustrating. Which is why this post emphasizes checking your answers and before turning in your test, checking your answers again. There is nothing more frustrating than getting a test back with an answer marked as incorrect, which as far as the grader knew is, but only because you marked the wrong little space.  So, again, before handing in your answer sheet check your answer. And check your answer again.
