What is it? DETER is a test strategy that helps maximize the time you have while taking an exam. You read directions thoroughly, examine what you know on the test, answer the easiest questions first, keep track of the time you spend on questions, and if you have time review all of the answers on the test

What does it stand for? D= Directions read them carefully! as well as dump information on the side of the test you may forget. D= Directions read them carefully! as well as dump information on the side of the test you may forget. E= Examine the entire test before answering the questions. If you don’t understand something ASK! E= Examine the entire test before answering the questions. If you don’t understand something ASK! T= Time, Decide how much time you have and how long you want to spend on each question. If there are questions worth more points concentrate on those first.

R= Review the test and make sure you followed all of the directions and answered each question. R= Review the test and make sure you followed all of the directions and answered each question.

Steps to follow Every time you take a test, DETER can help! First, know your material! (if you don’t, what’s the point of taking a test?!) Being prepared for an exam is the most important part. So study, study, study!

If Your in a Jam… Let DETER help! First go to the questions that you know are the easiest. Do not spend too much time on those and keep moving. Once you’ve answered those look for the questions with the most point value so in case you do run out of time you have accumulated points. And finally… remember it’s just a test the most it can give you is a paper cut (said by Garth himself)
