The Praxis test holds the key to becoming a teacher. Because of this, many people get anxious about taking the exam<\/a>, fearing that they\u2019ll fail it. \u00a0Rather than letting these feelings overwhelm you, here are some Praxis test taking tips that you can use to help you.<\/p>\n

Be Prepared<\/h2>\n

My mom always says \u201cif you\u2019re prepared, you won\u2019t fear.\u201d Many people overestimate how prepared they are for the test. Rather than assuming that your education or work experience prepared you enough, you need to take time to study the information. Plan plenty of time to review the material<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also, know what\u2019s on the exam and what kinds of questions you\u2019ll need to answer. The unknown can be scary. Take away some of the fear by knowing what to expect and thoroughly studying the information.<\/p>\n

Get a Good Night\u2019s Sleep<\/h2>\n

When taking the exam, you want to be fully rested so you\u2019re focused and able to recall the information you studied. Get a good night\u2019s sleep the night before. This doesn\u2019t mean that you should crawl into bed at 7 PM. That is, unless you normally go to sleep at this time. Go to sleep at a reasonable hour, and make sure to get plenty of rest<\/a> to keep you alert during the Praxis test.<\/p>\n

Eat a Good Breakfast<\/h2>\n

Maybe you\u2019re too nervous to eat. Or perhaps you don\u2019t normally eat breakfast. Don’t that happen to you on the day of the exam! On that day, take the time to sit down and eat a nutritious breakfast<\/a>. You don\u2019t want to suffer from hunger pains in the middle of the exam. Your growling stomach will distract you, and make it difficult to focus on the questions.<\/p>\n

Answer Every Question<\/h2>\n

You won\u2019t be penalized for answering incorrectly, so it\u2019s to your benefit to answer every question. It\u2019s a good idea to go through the exam, answering all of the questions that you know. Then, go back through the exam and spend time focusing on the ones that you\u2019re unsure about. I like to use scratch paper to make a note of all of the questions that I want to review. You can use the extra time to answer the questions. If you don\u2019t know the answer, make an educated guess and move on.<\/p>\n

Eliminate Wrong Answers<\/h2>\n

There are no patterns to the answers. The idea of answering C to questions that you don\u2019t know won\u2019t help you. Instead, try eliminating wrong answers. Rather than guessing between 4 answers, you can guess between 2 or 3 answers. This increases your chances of guessing the question correctly.<\/p>\n

Manage Your Time<\/h2>\n

Since the exam is timed, it\u2019s important to know good test taking time management. Don\u2019t spend too much time on a single question. Instead, try to get through as many questions that you can in the time that you have. Then, you can use the previous tips and spend the extra time on questions that require a little more thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
