Before the Test
Spend time working through standardized test practice items for several weeks before your scheduled test date.
Find out if there is a score penarly for wrong answers so that your will know whether you should guess at answers you don't know.
Get a good night's sleep the evening before the test.
Eat a healthy, protein-rich breakfast the morning of your test.
Arrive at the testing facility a few minutes early.
Relax your mind before the test begins.
During the Test
Read the instructions carefully.
Read each question carefully, paying attention to details.
Pay attention to time passing in relation to the time allotment.
Don't get distracted by other testers in the room.
If you come across a question that is difficult, don't spend all of your time on it. Move on and come back to it at the end.
Don't second guess yourself by changing your first answers unless you are 100% certain.
Don't fall into the trap of looking for patterns in the answers. There really can be three (or more) "C" answers in a row.
When you are finished, look closely to make sure that you haven't overlooked any questions.
