Look over your work
Don’t forget, when taking an exam to check your work and look for any mistakes you might have made or questions you mistakenly left blank. Take a closer look at questions to make sure you gave the answer the teacher was looking for. You don’t want to misinterpret a question you could have answered correctly.
Be Confident
If you have prepared for an exam there is no reason why you shouldn’t go into it with full confidence. Make sure you are well rested, and in good health as the day of the exam approaches. Your physical and mental state can have a lot to do with the outcome of the exam, regardless of how much you’ve studied.
Cover all your ground
Look over the exam before you write anything. Figure out how many sections there are. Take notice how many parts there are to each question and plan out how long to spend on each question so you are sure to have time to complete the exam.
Make sure you read the directions carefully. You don’t want to waste time answering too many questions when you had the option to pick between questions.
Answer the short questions first and leave the long answer questions for later. It’s important to budget your time. Keep your eye on the clock and give yourself a certain amount of time to answer grammatical questions and then plan out and answer essay questions.
If you get stuck on a question, leave it and come back to it if there’s time. It’s better to give up a few marks for one question than throw away a large percentage of the exam because you didn’t finish a major part of the exam.

Show your work
Let the teacher see your train of thought. Label clearly all your answers and number them correctly. Use whatever number system the exam uses, and don’t flip flop from Roman numerals to Arabic numerals. Keep the same lettering that the exam uses as well. You don’t want the teacher to have to go searching for answers to particular questions.
Be sure of the question before you answer it
It’s very important to pay close attention to what the question is asking you. Don’t get tricked by a cleverly worded question. Remember the key words in your notes and it will help you keep definitions straight. Different adjectives can totally change the meaning of a question. If you are unsure of a question, try turning the words of a question into a statement, and try connecting the question to material from your notes. This often triggers the correct meaning of the word.
Be prepared
If you have made a study plan and have worked through your assignments, underlining the topics and subtopics from your class notes and you are able to repeat the main facts from your study material you have prepared yourself for an exam.
Remember to read over the exam first, and use your time wisely. Read over questions carefully and make sure you know what is being asked of you before you put down an answer. Do all this and you are sure to do well in an exam.
Make a plan before you put down an answer
Before you put down an answer on your test, practice what you plan to do. Take a minute to write an outline of your answer. This can keep you focused and organized so that you can answer the question completely. It can keep you from wandering off track. But remember to crass out this outline before handing in the exam so that the teacher knows it’s not to be considered in your answer.
Take time for revision
Take time to look over your answers and revise any that need clarification. Fix any mistakes you pick up on with one last read-through before you hand it in. You are writing in a stressful situation and you may have made silly errors. So you owe it to yourself to look it over and correct silly mistakes. If time allows, also double check your spelling and your grammar.
