Test Taking Strategies

Ready or not, here it comes! The FCAT will begin next Tuesday for students throughout Duval County. Our class would like to share a few test taking strategies we have used throughout the year to prepare them for their test. They are:
* THINK!
*Use common sense
* Use your time wisely
*Underline or circle key words
*If you don't understand the question, re-read
*Break down the question
*Use process of elimination
*Show all of your work by making graphs, tables or charts,
* Watch your operations
* Use 5th grade vocabulary
*CHECK YOUR WORK

We have our game faces on and we are ready! FCAT, Bring It On!!!
