What are som e t es t -t ak ing t ips? Read all of the questions on the first page of the test so you realize
that you do know the material. In other words, relax. Read each question thoroughly. Don't assume you know what's
being asked. Eliminate implausible answers and move quickly past the obviously
wrong choices. Keep in mind that an answer may be a correct statement in itself
but may not answer the question. Two answers may say exactly the
opposite things or may be very similar. Read them again to decidewhat makes one correct and the other wrong.
ASQ does not subtract points for incorrect answers. Answer everyquestion. There is no penalty for guessing, and you have a 25%chance of getting it right.
Go through and answer the questions you know. Then go throughand read the ones you're unsure of. Mark those you're stilluncomfortable with. You will narrow the field down to just a fewquestions you will need to spend more time on. These are thequestions you might want to use your reference books for.
Be aware of the time available for the exam and the remaining timeas you work through the exam.
