Complete this task in the following order: - Make sure to start from test 2 (as we are working on test 1 together). - Read the text very thoroughly so that you understand the text. - Read questions very carefully so that you understand the question and can answer them correctly. If you don't understand the question read it again! - Complete the test. Don't finish the test early! You need to practice checking your work and doing your best. There are prizes of PTs for first, second & third on each test in our class. - As a class we will then mark and reflect - figure out what we need to do better next time.
