When studying for essay tests that provide you with questions in advance:
- Research and find all the information or facts to thoroughly answer the question.
- Write the essay in advance. Practice answering the essay by actually writing it before you take the test.
- Study and memorize. Outline key points in your mind.
While taking an essay test it is important to do the following:
- Read the directions! Read the directions! Read the directions!
- Only give your opinion if the question(s) asks for your opinion.
- Be neat and organized with your thoughts and writing. Neater papers often score higher.
- If the question is asking for facts, then stick to the fact. Do not provide your opinion unless you are asked for it.
- Write down and provide information that thoroughly answers the essay question. More quality information is better than little or poor information.
- Watch your time! Don’t spend too much time on one essay question.
- Write out an outline of possible points, facts or information that you want included in the essay before you begin writing.
- Use appropriate grammar, sentence structure and paragraph formation while writing your essay.
