The DETER Strategy for Taking Tests
To do well on a test, you must have good knowledge of the
information that is being tested. But you must also have
a strategy for taking the test that allows you to show
what you know. The DETER strategy can help you do your
best on any test. Each letter in DETER reminds you what
to do.
D
= Directions
-
Read
the test directions very carefully.
-
Ask your teacher
to explain anything about the test directions you do
not understand.
-
Only
by following the directions can you achieve a good
score on the test.
-
If you do not
follow the directions, you will not be able
to demonstrate what you know.
E
= Examine
T = Time
-
Once you have
examined the entire test, decide how much time you
will spend on each item.
-
If there are
different points for items, plan to spend the most
time on the items that count for the most
points.
-
Planning your time
is especially important for essay tests where
you must avoid spending so much time on one
item that you have little time left for other test items.
E = Easiest
-
The second E
in DETER reminds you to answer the items you find
easiest first.
-
If you
get stuck on a difficult item that comes up early in
the test, you may not get to answer items that test
things you know.
R = Review
-
If you have
planned your time correctly, you will have time to
review your answers and make them as complete and
accurate as possible.
-
Also make sure to
review the test directions to be certain you
have answered all items required.
Using the DETER strategy will help you do better on tests
and get better grades.
