Test-taking Tips
Many students have problems on standardized exams because they do not take the time to read carefully. Take your time and read each item carefully. For the essay items, it is essential that you answer the questions that are asked. While you could probably write about other aspects of the cases, be sure to focus your responses on the questions as they are asked.
