Test Preparation for College Entrance -- Tips and Strategies
Getting into the college of your choice means scoring high on
the college admissions test. In some countries, college
admissions exams are administered by the college or university
itself. In the US, there are many different tests depending on
the Institution. College entrance exams serve a specific
purpose. They are used to gauge whether the student can live by
the standards of the college and is ready to tackle the academic
workload. College entrance test preparation requires both time
and diligent study.
To make the preparation for the test easier, we have prepared
some tips and guidelines for the day before the test and during
the test.
General Tips:
Think positive and psyche yourself. Thinking positive and
psyching yourself will literally pave the way for more effective
study. Motivating your mind will open it up to what lies ahead.
It will also help you gather up the energy and the desire that
can sustain your long preparation for the exam. Remember that
your future is in your hands.
Research the college of your choice. Make a list of at least the
top three colleges or universities where you would like to study
and rank them. Find out their required grade on the entrance
exam. Once you your target, you know what grade you must reach
for.
Make a list of why you want to master the test. This list may
come in handy in the future. Like in a couple of weeks when your
spirits have shot down and you are feeling lazy. The things you
have listed will remind you of why you decided to prepare for
this test in the first place.
Gather your study materials. Compile your notes, textbooks and
study guides. It is important for you to consult a diverse range
of study materials. Study guides that are available online or in
the bookstores will provide you with practice tests. Practice
tests will give you invaluable practice as well as the general
'feel' of the exam. Time yourself when taking the practice tests
to familiarize yourself with the time pressure of the real exam.
Assess yourself. Take diagnostic or practice tests. Analyze the
result. Mark the areas you could consider your weak areas.
Concentrate on these areas when you begin studying.
Draft a study plan. The study plan must include the time frame
you will follow along with the topics you need to cover. This
will help you systematize your study habits.
Guidelines for the Test Day:
Eat a healthy meal the night before the exam. Having a healthy
meal will effectively nourish your faculties. You need to be at
your best when you take the test, which includes being properly
nourished and hydrated.
Get plenty of sleep. Make sure to have at least 7 to 8 hours of
sleep the night before the test. You need to be well rested and
relaxed. You don't want to be drowsy and confused when you take
the test, right?
Get up early. By early we mean giving yourself enough time to be
fully awake when you take the test. The time here is quite
relative. Some people are fully awake a few minutes after waking
up, while some could use an hour or so.
Eat a healthy breakfast. Have a nutritious breakfast. Make sure
you don't eat too much. You have to be energized enough, but not
too full when you take the exam.
Wear comfortable clothes and dress in layers. You don't want to
be too hot or too cold. You cannot afford to be distracted by
anything while taking the test.
College entrance exams need thorough preparation. It may be
helpful to know your goals and which college you would like to
study in. These simple tips can go a long way when you take your
test. Remember, you will not be able to get into the college you
want to without pushing yourself.
