16 Student Tips for Test Days Raise your hand if you have any questions Do not disturb others Use scrap paper and pencil (Put name and teacher’s name on the paper) Use the calculator and formula sheet when appropriate (check with district) All or none Not everyone will finish at the same time. Take your time! You may read quietly until everyone has completed the assessment
