During the test read the directions

It’s important that you follow the instructions exactly. For example, some questions may have more than one correct answer.

Answer easy questions first.

Doing this can jog your memory about useful facts. You may also come across some information that can help you with other questions.

Answer every question.

Unless there is a penalty for wrong answers, answer every other questions; you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete correctly.

Ask question.

If a question isn’t clear, talk to your teacher. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin

Choose the right.

“Improve your performance by improving your attitude”

Anon

Reflection: this post is saying that if you want to improve one of your performance skills then you must first improve your attitude on that skill, because if a person wants to do good in school but hates doing work, their grades will not improve.

More tips

Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

·         Read the website homepage and about us page. Look for a a mission statement to learn more about the site, its purpose and the organization sponsoring it.

·         If there is an author listed, look for a biography that discuss the authors education, profession and other revelent background. If there is no bio on the site, search for one elsewhere on the web.

·         Check dates. Facts can change over time, so see if the site shows when it was last updated.

·         Presentation counts; look at everything from design to spelling. A clean, well-organized sight shows a certain degree of professionalism.

·         Avoid sites that are pornographic, vulgar, inappropriate, below bar, suggestive, and falsify.

Using the web wisely

Thanks to the web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to
post something online.  Anyone can do it.
You’ve probably used the internet to do research for a paper, to help you
decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events.
Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do
online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust.
Many websites claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others
present information in a biased way – they only give one side of an
argument. How can you tell a reliable source from an unreliable one?
Appropriate, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste,
untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make a good name for
you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to
the world.
