• Maintain an alert mind and a cheerful attitude throughout the exam.
• Read the directions carefully
• Change positions to help you relax
• If you don’t know the answer, skip the question and go on

• Budget your test taking time When getting anxious:
• Relax; breathe deeply

and that it takes practice to use it as a tool to succeed
