Test-Taking Tips: Mathematics
1. For each part of the test, read the directions carefully so you know what to do.
Then read the directions again—just to make sure.
2. Look for key words and phrases to help you decide what each question is asking
and what kind of computation you need to do. Examples of key words: less than,
greatest, least, farther, longest, divided equally.
4. Use scrap paper (or extra space on the test page) to write down the numbers and
information you need to solve a problem.
5. If a question has a picture or diagram, study it carefully. Draw your own picture or
diagram if it will help you solve a problem.
6. Try to solve each problem before you look at the answer choices. (In some tests,
the correct answer may be “Not Given” or “Not Here,” so you will want to be sure
of your answer. In these Practice Tests, some of the Math questions use “NG” for
“Not Given.”)
7. Check your work carefully before you finish. (In many questions, you can check
your answer by working backwards to see if the numbers work out correctly.)
8. If you are not sure which answer is correct, cross out every answer that you know
is wrong. Then make your best guess.
9. To complete a number sentence or equation, try all the answer choices until you
find the one that works.
10. When working with fractions, always reduce (or rename) the fractions to .
their lowest parts. When working with decimals, keep the decimal points lined .
up correctly.
