One Step to Improve Your Practice Test Results

By moiramuldoon

Read the explanations for the whole test — not just the answers you got right.

I’m assuming here that you are using a practice test book that has explanations. If you’re not, go get one that does. After you take the practice test, take a break — a day or a week, whatever works with your study schedule. Then go back, grade the test, and read through all the explanations.

Sometimes students get the right answer the wrong way — which means the student may not actually understand the problem. Reading all the explanations will help you make sure you getting the most use out of your practice test.
