When studying for essay tests that provide you with questions in advance:

1. Research and find all the information or facts to thoroughly answer the question.
2. Write the essay in advance. Practice answering the essay by actually writing it before you take the test.
3. Study and memorize. Outline key points in your mind.

While taking an essay test it is important to do the following:

1. Read the directions! Read the directions! Read the directions!
2. Only give your opinion if the question(s) asks for your opinion.
3. Be neat and organized with your thoughts and writing. Neater papers often score higher.
4. If the question is asking for facts, then stick to the fact. Do not provide your opinion unless you are asked for it.
5. Write down and provide information that thoroughly answers the essay question. More quality information is better than little or poor information.
6. Watch your time! Don’t spend too much time on one essay question.
7. Write out an outline of possible points, facts or information that you want included in the essay before you begin writing.
8. Use appropriate grammar, sentence structure and paragraph formation while writing your essay.
