Scoring Constructed Response

Employ Strategies for Test Taking

Materials & Supplies Admission Ticket Driver’s License (Photo ID) Additional ID (without photo OK) Sharp pencils (several) Bottled water is OK

Materials & Supplies Do NOT bring into test site Cell phones electronic devices Calculators Food or drink Leave these in your car

Time Management Plan ahead Look ahead Pacing is critical Think, then act (or write) Bring a watch (no alarms) Write down times

Time Management If you’re taking both tests in one session… Plan for 1 hour on selected responses (2 questions per minute) Plan for 2 hours on constructed responses (4 responses, 30 minutes each) This leaves you 1 hour to review your work

Relax & Think Sleep night before Be prepared Be confident Practice stress reduction techniques
