    Ask the teacher to explain any part of the test directions that you do not understand. Following directions helps you demonstrate what you know better.

    Examine the entire test to see how much you have to do
    Then break it down into parts that become manageable for you

    T = Time

    Once you have examined the entire test, decide how much time you will spend on each section. If there are different points for various sections, then plan to spend the most time on the sections which would make you earn maximum points
    Planning your time is especially important for essay tests

    E = Easiest

    The second E in DETER reminds you to answer the section you find the easiest first If you get stuck on a difficult section that comes up early in the test, move onto the next question.

    R = Review

    Once you are done, review your answers and make them as complete and accurate as possible. Also make sure to review the test directions to ascertain you have answered all required items.
