TIPS FOR TAKING EXAM
Listed below are some things that a parent can do to help your child/children be prepared to take the AHSGE:
- Be sure your child/children are at school and on time
- Be sure your child/children get plenty of rest the night before each test and eat a good
breakfast on testing days
- If your child/children have part- or full-time jobs, have them arrange to get off work by 5 p.m. during the week the test is given
|
|
|
- Remind your child/children to work every problem and check their answers carefully. The creators of the tests know where common errors are made. The questions are multiply choice, and incorrect answers may look just as appealing as correct answers. Carelessly choosing the answers that “look right” could be disastrous.
|
|
- Remind your child/children about the importance of this test
- Remind your child/children that the answer documents and computerized scanners are highly sensitive to stray pencil marks. If they change their mind about an answer, it is imperative they erase completely the incorrect marks. This is a time when perfection counts.
- Prepare your child/children for the fact the tests are long and difficult. A surprising number of previous reading test failures are the result of students getting tired of reading passages and just quitting.
- Help your child/children come to the test with a positive attitude. Make them aware that there may be items on the tests they may not know the answers. This makes it more important that hey work diligently on items they do know.

- Explain to your child/children that good guessing skills can improve their scores. Students should not simply guess “C” when they don’t know an answer, nor should they leave blank. They should look at all four answers and identify the ones that are definitely wrong. Narrowing the possible answers this way improves their odds of choosing correctly.
- Remind your child/children not to rush. The tests are not timed, and students can take as long as they need. (Note: this does not mean students will be allowed to sleep or take breaks during the test.) Many will feel pressured to finish if they see others closing their booklets. Help your child/children understand early finishers may just be quitters. Because their high school diploma is riding on these tests, it is important they take the time they need to answer the questions.
