• Extra, Extra read all about it – read all directions

• Slash the trash – cross answers out you know are not good

• Plug it in, Plug it in – fill in the answers and see if they work or make sense

• Be smart with the chart – make sure to read the chart before reading the question

• Zap the map – read the map before reading the question

• You snooze, you lose – don’t give up on the test

• 50/50 – mark out two answers you know are incorrect

• Jail the detail – underline or highlight important data or facts in the question

• Not, except questions – cross out three positive answers (one answer will be different, three alike)
