Tips for taking electronic tests

 

  • Take practice tests and quizzes.
  • Familiarize yourself with how the test will be conducted. Is it timed or un-timed, when does it have to be taken, can you take it more than once?
  • Make sure that you won't be interrupted or disturbed while taking the test.
  • Have all the materials you will need with you before beginning.
  • If it is timed, keep track of the time and pace yourself.
