Mrs. Elzholz 6th Grade

AIMS is just around the corner, so here are some test taking stategies.

• Be physically prepared. Get plenty of rest the night before and on the day of the test eat a healthy breakfast.
• Be mentally prepared. Try to relax and do your best.  View the test as an opportunity to truly show what you know and are able to do.
• Listen to directions as the teacher explains them.  Ask about any directions you do not understand.
• Read the directions carefully.
• Look for key words that will help you identify what the question is asking you to do.
• Take your time and work at your own pace.  AIMS DPA is not a timed test.
• Move on to the next item if you are stuck, but be sure to return to it later.
• Make educated guesses if you are unsure of an answer: first eliminate choices that are obviously incorrect, then logically select from the remaining choices.
• Take the time to review your answers when you are finished.
