The more you can glean before a test the better off you’ll be. I still remember showing up for class early on the day of my AP History exam in high school. My teacher, Mr. Farr, was answering a question asked to him by another student seeking some clarification on test subject matter. Whether advertently or inadvertently I’ll never know but he said to this student, “Don’t stress about that. Very little of the test covers that material.” Knowing that allowed me to focus my remaining 30 minutes of study on subject matter that was going to be more likely to be on the exam.
It’s also common for students struggling with difficult concepts or subject matter to show up early on test day to seek additional clarification or understanding from the teacher or instructor. This is an excellent opportunity to gain additional understanding and test preparation.
Show up to class early on test day, in case the teacher provides any additional tips, instruction or insight.
