Please share some Test taking tips

Published

I have the usual test anxiety when the time comes; i usually freeze up and forget what to do.

I am asking what tips you have. I want to go to the pearon vue testing center w/ these in mind and write them down on that dry erase board prior to taking the test.

Such as note to self: Look for the words "most important" or "1st priority"

I take HDLS 3 this Saturday!

Thanks again for all your support!

you can do this lisa!!! don't really have any helpful tips because i am new with ec exams. but one time, i took my unscheduled break and went to the bathroom and wash my face with cold water because i was feeling uneasy in the middle of the exam. then i would close my eyes and do deep breathing when i get nervous in the middle of exam.

i have an exam scheduled for this saturday as well. it's lifespan 2. i rescheduled it so many times. i keep rescheduling it for early dates when i'm confident then reschedule it back to later date when i get scared. i was supposed to take it today. i don't know, i get discouraged because i keep reading that it is a beast and so many people fail it.

anyway, good look to us. i'm sure we will be fine!!!

Thanks,

I have never taken a break even when I did feel uneasy. I guess I always felt I wanted to get the exams over with. But I think if I get to that point maybe I would feel better to get up and stretch.

I took HD 2 last month and was not successful. :crying2:

I decided to move onto 3 and I will go back to HD 2.

These are my last two tests! It's been a long road but WE can do it.

Good luck Saturday with HD 2.
