EOC TEST Taking Strategies
You are allowed to mark, highlight, and notate the EOC
test booklet! Use it to your advantage!
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Read the question before you look at the answer.
Do simple questions first to help build your confidence!
Come up with the answer in your head before looking at the possible answers, this
way the choices given won’t throw you off or trick you.
Eliminate answers you know are not right.
Read ALL choices before choosing your answer.
On the Civics EOC answer ALL questions, there is no guessing penalty.
Don’t keep changing your answer; usually your first choice is the right one, unless
you mis-read the question.
If you don’t know a question skip it for the time being and remember, you don’t
have to get every question right on the test to do well.
IF (and only if) you read a test question and you have no idea what either the
question or any of the possible answers mean, select (and stick to) your favorite
letter (A-D).
Write down facts, definitions, and key words in the margin of the test booklet so you
won’t worry about forgetting them!
Don’t worry about how fast other people finish their test; just concentrate on your
own test.
If you run out of time and you have blanks, bubble in your favorite letter! A blank
is always wrong, but if you bubble in your favorite letter, you have a chance at
getting it right! (Does not apply to SAT TEST).
