Math Test Taking Tips

1. Be aware of your time frame.

2. Establish what the question is asking.

3. Does your answer make sense in relation to the question?

4. For proportions... WRITE THE WORDS!

5. Even if the directions don't say so, put your answer in simplest form.

6. Look for how many answers a question is asking for. 2 parts = 2 answers, 3 parts = 3 answers, etc.

7. Always double check conversions.

8. When you round, round correctly. (0-4, stay the same... 5-9, round up)

9. When the directions say, "Estimate" or "Round," DO IT!

11. Double check, triple check, and check again!
