What to do when you dont know the answer to a question?
If you are having difficulty figuring out the answer to a question, or if you have several possibilities in mind, use the margins (or the back) of your exam to work it out. Write down anything that comes to you, and see if this jogs your memory. Some teachers allow you to bring a scrap sheet of paper to the exam.
Why do you answer the easy questions first on a test?
Quickly go through the test and fill in the blanks that you are sure you know. This will give you confidence, and it will “prime” your brain – you’ll be subconsciously working on the answers you skipped over. Then go back and answer the hard questions. Another reason you want to answer the easy questions first is to get them out of the way.
What to do when you run out of time on a test?
Go back at the end of the test to fill in anything you missed. If you spend too much time on one question, you may run out of time to answer the rest. Sometimes if you skip a question and continue to work through the test, you will jog your memory and remember the answer to the earlier question.
When do you write a wrong question on a test?
