Skip tough questions and come back to them later<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you find that you\u2019re taking too much time on a particular question, put down your best guess first, circle the question and move on to other questions. Come back to this question later when you are done with the other easier questions.<\/p>\n

\n
Read each question carefully<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Some questions may require several readings to understand. Read every word in the question so that you are aware of all the information that the question has provided and what the question is asking for.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Stay calm<\/strong>
There may be tricky questions or difficult questions. Answer as many questions as you can carefully. Do not rush through the paper. In many cases, accuracy is more important than speed.<\/p>\n

Break up unfamiliar words into smaller parts<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If you come across an unfamiliar word, break it up into smaller parts (morphemes) that are more familiar. Take for example the word \u201canti-freeze\u201d. \u201cAnti\u201d means the opposite of, and \u201cfreeze\u201d means to turn from a liquid into a solid. Putting the two together, you can guess that \u201canti-freeze\u201d refers to a substance that stops a liquid from turning into a solid.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
