• PSSA Testing begins for grades 3 through 8. ROCK THE TEST DOBSON!
• Some Testing tips to get you through to ADVANCED this week!
1. Relax and maintain a positive attitude.
2. Take your time. There is no time limit for these tests. Take the time to check your answers and show your work.
3. Don't worry about what other students are doing. The tests are not all the same.
4. Read the questions carefully, underline or highlight parts of the question or story in the booklet if necessary to help you remember, and understand the passages.
5. Be sure to answer every question. If you don't know an answer, skip it and come back to it later. Make sure you are marking the correct space and don't forget to go back and try to answer the questions you skipped.
6. Show all your work. And answer the question even if you only know part of the answer. You get points for each part you have correct. Be sure you show your work on the answer sheet--the test book is not scored.
7. Write legibly. If the person scoring your exam can't read your answer it may be marked wrong!
8. On multiple choice questions read every option carefully and be sure you are choosing the best answer. If you aren’t sure, cross off any answers you know are not correct in your test booklet and try to find the correct answer from those remaining.
9. For math problems check your work and be sure you copied all numbers correctly.
10. Be sure you answer the question. If they want you to show work, show it. If they want you to explain your answer, explain it. A question may ask you to explain why you did what you did, not just what you did.
11. When you are done check your answers! Proofread for mistakes and be sure you answered each question completely.
