Dont give up when you come to a difficult
question!

• Its best to make a good guess at the answer.
• First, find any choices that you know are wrong.
  
• Then look at the leftover choices and make your
  best guess.

Read Questions Carefully!

  answer, the most important things, or something
  which is not true.
• Its important to know exactly what youre
  supposed to look for to answer a question
  correctly.

Dont be afraid to look back for an answer!

  selection, a map, or a diagram to be sure to
  answer an item correctly.
• Dont just rely on memory.

Use the materials you are allowed to use during
testing!

• If you are given a calculator, formulas,
  protractor, or scrap paper, use them.
• Remember that they are there so that you can do
  your best possible job.

Look over the questions to a selection first!

• That way, youll know what to look for as you
  read the passage.
• Once youve read the passage, go on to answer the
  questions.

Read Carefully!

• Dont read more into a question than is actually
  there.
• Double check to be sure that you arent adding
  information on your own to the question.
• Also, be sure to read all of the multiple choices
  before making a selection.

Dont be afraid to WRITE in the EOG test booklet!

  answer questions.

  answer sheet!

  why you are changing it.

• Remember that you want to do your best to
  demonstrate how hard you have worked this year!
