Exam-Taking Tips
Listed below are ways to help you become accustomed to the FTCE, some of which may be applied to other tests as well.
- Becomecomfortable with the format of the FTCE. When you are practicing,simulate the conditions under which you will be taking the actual test.Stay calm and pace yourself. After simulating the test only once, youwill boost your chances of doing well, and you will be able to sit downfor the actual FTCE with much more confidence.
- Readall of the possible answers. Just because you think you have found thecorrect response, do not automatically assume that it is the bestanswer. Read through each choice to be sure that you are not making amistake by jumping to conclusions.
- Usethe process of elimination. Go through each answer to a question andeliminate as many of the answer choices as possible. By eliminating twoanswer choices, you have given yourself a better chance of getting theitem correct since there will only be two choices left from which tomake your guess. Do not leave an answer blank; it is better to guessthan to not answer a question on the FTCE test.
- Workquickly and steadily. You will have two and one-half hours to completethe test, so work quickly and steadily to avoid focusing on any oneproblem too long. Taking the practice tests in this book will help youlearn to budget your precious time.
- Learnthe directions and format of the test. Familiarizing yourself with thedirections and format of the test will not only save time, but willalso help you avoid anxiety (and the mistakes caused by gettinganxious).
- Besure that the answer circle you are marking corresponds to the numberof the question in the test booklet. Since the test is multiple-choice,it is graded by machine, and marking one wrong answer can throw offyour answer key and your score. Be extremely careful.

Before the Test
- On the day of the test, make sure to dress comfortably, so that you are not distracted by being too hot or too cold while taking the test. Plan to arrive at the test center early. This will allow you to collect your thoughts and relax before the test, and will also spare you the anguish that comes with being late.

|
- You should check your FTCE Registration Bulletin to find out what time to arrive at the testing center.
- Before you leave for the test center, make sure that you have your admission ticket and two forms of identification, one of which must contain a recent photograph, your name, and signature (i.e., driver's license). You will not be admitted to the test center if you do not have proper identification.
- You must bring several sharpened No. 2 pencils with erasers, as none will be provided at the test center.
- If you would like, you may wear a watch to the test center. However, you may not wear one that makes noise, because it may disturb the other test takers. Dictionaries, textbooks, notebooks, calculators, briefcases, or packages will not be permitted. Drinking, smoking, and eating are prohibited.

During the Test
- The FTCE is given in one sitting with no breaks. Procedures will be followed to maintain test security. Once you enter the test center, follow all of the rules and instructions given by the test supervisor. If you do not, you risk being dismissed from the test and having your scores cancelled.
- When all of the materials have been distributed, the test instructor will give you directions for filling out your answer sheet. Fill out this sheet carefully since this information will be printed on your score report.
- Once the test begins, mark only one answer per question, completely erase unwanted answers and marks, and fill in answers darkly and neatly.
After the Test
- When you finish your test, hand in your materials and you will be dismissed. Then, go home and relax - you deserve it!
