Part 1 of 3: Preparing for the test

1. Pay attention during class. If you don't listen in class, how will you ever pass the test? That is why it is important to listen to the math teacher when explaining something. To concentrate, remove all distracting items from your desk; this includes laptops, iPads, a note from a friend or whatever sensational news you would like to read. Don't talk to your classmates. If your friends are going to talk to you, tell them to be quiet, and if they continue like this, ask the teacher if you can temporarily sit somewhere else. Look at the teacher or teacher and listen carefully. If something is explained on the board, look at it.
   • If you are in a place where you cannot see, hear, or concentrate properly, ask your teacher if you can sit elsewhere (or just do that if permission is not required).
   • Make notes. Taking notes is very important because you can use them as a guide to reviewing the material while studying for the test. Using lined paper and a pen, write down important information that the teacher or instructor is telling or writing on the board. Remember, you will be using these notes to study, so write clearly and neatly. Write down all of the sample problems if you think they might be helpful.
   • Participate. Don't you hate it when you are asked a question by the teacher and you don't know the answer? If you had listened carefully this might have been different, but sometimes you know the answer for real not. Try to participate in class. It will help you to better understand the information, and it will make it clear to the teacher that you understand the problem and can participate.
   • Know that it's okay to give a wrong answer, so just do your best; it is better to show enthusiasm than to always want to be right.
2. Asking questions. Everyone, even the smartest people, asks questions. If you feel stupid, remember the Chinese saying: "People who ask a question are ignorant for five minutes; people who are never a question will be ignorant for a lifetime. "Dare to raise your finger and don't be afraid.
   • In fact, there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.
   • Ask your teacher questions during class or lecture, or after class if you are shy.
     • If you still don't understand, ask your teacher to explain the exercises after math class, during lunch, or after school. Their job is to help you with it.
3. Do you Homework. Almost everyone hates homework, but it is given up for a reason: to help improve understanding of the lesson by on your own way to get a grip on the information. When you have homework to do, write it on your calendar right away to make sure you can't forget it. Don't forget to always have your diary with you, because you need it for your homework.
   • Ask your teacher if the math book is online so that you can easily consult anywhere. This is becoming more and more common.
   • When doing homework, make it easy on yourself, but don't be too easy either. Remove distractions such as electronic devices from your environment and sit in a well-lit area. Find a quiet place where you can be alone. If necessary, provide some quiet music in the background if you can work better as a result.
   • Always follow the directions and check your work. If you can't get through with a problem, check it later or ask a sibling / parent / friend / classmate for help. For short answers or questions, use labels and write in full sentences.
4. Study. Rules for studying apply to homework, as far as possible in your study space. Studying requires concentration, so don't think you can study while doing anything else. Gather all the materials needed to study, such as your notes, math textbook, study guide, and / or homework.
   • Create flashcards for math terms and review the terms and their definitions.
   • Do some practice problems online or in your math textbook.
   • If you already know the rest, focus on what you need help with.
   • Since repetition is very important in math, keep doing problems until you know by heart.
   • Consider studying with a classmate by checking each other's answers and quizzing each other about math concepts. You can email each other about questions and answers if you are not at the same location.
   • Have fun. Math can be fun too. Pretend that you are a participant in a game show and have to answer math questions. Ask a friend to come over and do math homework together. Use the flash cards to see who can give the correct answer first.
   • Be aware that there are many methods of studying, so find your own and set a pace that works for you. Don't forget to study at your own pace. If you want to go too fast, you will get tired and confused. Start easy and progress gradually with the more difficult exercises.
5. Get a good one night's rest. While studying is great, don't stay up all night for it! Sleep is also important, so make sure you get at least 8 hours of sleep (or the amount of sleep you personally need within the 6-9 hours of sleep range).
   • Sleep is a necessary part of remembering information for a long time; the subject matter that a student learns must be "imprinted" by sleeping. After a period of time without sleep, no new information can be retained.
6. Free your mind from all things not related to your math test. This keeps you focused on what to do for the test.

Part 2 of 3: The day of the test

1. Eat a healthy breakfast. While you should eat a balanced breakfast every day, it's especially important to do it the day of your math test, or any other test, so that your energy-hungry brain gets the energy it needs to think properly. Eating well before a test will keep you from feeling hungry and help you focus on passing the test. Do not eat too much or you will feel dull and sick. A balanced breakfast that will ensure good concentration includes the following:
   • Protein (protein) - Protein is ideal for the brain. Eat oatmeal or slices of cheese with your breakfast.
   • Water - Drink water before and after the test so that you are well hydrated.
   • Fruits - Fruits are among the best brain foods, especially bananas! Blueberry sweets, which contain many powerful nutrients.
   • Iron and Vitamin B - These vitamins and minerals will make you physically and mentally strong. Cereals, eggs, and whole grains (such as toast) can be of great help.
2. Relax. Slowly inhale three times through your nose and out through your mouth.
   • Get comfortable in your chair (but not too easy), close your eyes, and focus on your breathing for a few seconds. If you need this during the test, you can change positions to sit more comfortably and choose a position where you can do your best and focus.
   • Remove any distractions, such as a book or highlighter from your desk.
   • Don't think about your fears, just stay positive and calm. Make a promise to yourself that you will do your best on this test, and know that the grade you will receive will match the effort you have put in.
   • Be self-assured. Say in your mind, I can do this ", or I'm going to get a 10 for this test " . Affirmations like this saying help relieve stress, and get you off to a good start. Say or even think never something like, I'm not going to make this –– that will only make your stress worse. Instead, smile and sit up, ready to start the test!
3. Read the directions. This may sound obvious, but time and again students forget to read the basic instructions and lose points or get lower grades as a result.
   • The first thing to write on the test sheet is your name. If your name is not on your work, you will not receive a grade for it. You can also indicate the date, period, classroom, teacher or teacher, etc. on the test.
   • Then quickly go through the entire test, or while the teacher is explaining directions. Correct any mistakes in the test if your teacher tells you to (you should listen carefully, don't panic silently), or ask if something is correct if you found a possible mistake.
   • Before completing the problem, read the directions again, paying attention to words such as from smallest to largest, resume, difference, product, quotient and about.
   • As you go through the test, if you find any of the words above, make a note to make sure you are following the directions. Whether it's highlighting, underlining, circling, or framing, do something to draw attention to important clues, phrases, and / or words so that you do as prompted.
4. Start with the test. When you are allowed to start, you start with the test and read the instructions. It can be helpful to stick to the order to make sure you don't miss any questions, or start with the easier problems first and then do the more difficult ones, making sure you haven't missed anything. However, it is up to you, so choose the order that is most comfortable for you, as long as you have a method of checking that you have completed all the questions.
   • For multiple choice questions, first read the question, solve it and have a look afterwards only with the answers given. Make sure you've read all of them before choosing an answer. If your answer matches, check your work again and choose that answer.
     • If you are struggling with something, realize that there are always two choices that are far from the answer, and two that can be right, one of which is the correct answer. Two choices that are close to each other are probably both wrong, so you can rule out the two immediately and focus on the two possible answers.
   • Don't worry about issues! Many people hate math problems, so you are not alone. Read the entire problem, and mark / circle numbers and important information. Think to yourself, Is there information I don't need? and cross out that unnecessary information.
   • Look at what is being asked (almost always the last sentence).
   • Choose a method to solve the problem. Should you add up? Subtract? Multiply? Share? Search for keywords, such as "more than", "product" and "divide". Then solve the problem.
5. Check your answers. Many people think they answered everything perfectly, and don't even bother to check their answers. This can become a bad habit, and there can always be something missing or something wrong, so check your answers alwayseven if you think you've got everything right. You could easily have made a clumsy mistake.
   • A good way to check your work effectively is to cover up your answer and re-solve the question. Look at your original answer - if the two match, you probably know you got it right.
   • Check if you have put your name on the test and if you have missed any questions. If you missed something, work it out and check number and other clumsy errors. Then hand in your test.

Part 3 of 3: After the test

1. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done! Feel free to be proud of yourself for completing the test, so sit back, relax, and wait for the results. Know that whatever grade you get, you deserve it for the effort you put in.
2. Do not begin to discuss the test with others. The test is over and worrying about what you should / shouldn't have done will only cause you unnecessary headaches.

Tips

• Before submitting the test, check your answers to see if you have forgotten questions or made a mistake.
• Keep your work tidy. Make sure your words and numbers are clear so they don't look like another number.
• Never read all the questions the moment you get them, as that can make you nervous.
• If you are allowed to use a calculator, please do so. Or just use a calculator to quickly check your work. If they are not allowed during the test, then of course you will not!
• Sometimes studying with a partner can help. If it becomes a distraction, stop it.
• Don't use your calculator when studying for a test unless you have to. It will make things easier and you may not be allowed to use a calculator during the test. Even though you can probably use a calculator, just pretend this isn't the case while studying! Refer to your notes and book as they will help you remember how to do something when needed.
• Find a tutor, if necessary. This is a great way to make sure you understand the topic!
• When studying for a test, try to rewrite or highlight your work. This way you will remember it better later.
• Study for the test as soon as you know when it will be taken so you are prepared and don't have to stamp.
• John Louis von Neumann once said: If people don't believe math is easy, it's only because they don't realize how complicated life is.

Warnings

• Don't wait until the evening for a test to study. It is difficult to go through everything in such a short time, and it creates a lot of tension and a bad grade.
• Don't worry about the test. That is bad for your focus. Just relax.
• If you cheat, you get a zero on your test. It is often not worth the risk.
• Don't be afraid to ask questions. This is your chance to ask questions if you need help, so don't be afraid; everyone has questions!
• Do not talk to classmates during or after the test is completed. A teacher may think you are trying to cheat, and then both of you will likely get a zero. If someone tries to talk to you, just ignore them. To avoid talking, stay away from anyone who might trick you into talking.
• If you notice that the tension is getting too much for you, ask to get up for a moment (to go to the toilet, sharpen your pencil, get something, or ask for clarification of certain instructions, etc.). When you get up without permission, it can be interpreted as if you want to quit the test.
