PSSA PREP TIP:

• BEEfore Reading Strategies:
• The test is on your desk, what you you do now?!
• Open the Proper Mental “Files” When you are told to start, scan the test section you are working on. 
• Think of the test as several small jobs - not one big one. 
• Identify the type of reading, writing, science, or math you will be answering questions about. Get your head into the right mindset.
• Scavenger Hunt Read the questions before reading the passage. 
• Save time and do not read the answer choices. 
• Highlight key words in each question such as: “main idea,” “compare,” or “in the beginning of the passage…”. Also highlight any unusual words or words you are unsure of. You can try to use context clues from the reading passage or the answer choices to determine the meaning later.
