Chunk your test analysis time by looking at one test section at a time. Plan several small sessions to look at test data.
Focus On 1 Section At A Time
Look at the questions you got wrong that are considered “easy.” Understand why you answered them incorrectly.
“Easy” Level Questions First
Are there similarities in the types of questions that you answered incorrectly? Identify common areas of struggle and how to best tackle those questions.
“Medium” Level Questions Next
Do you tend to struggle more with questions that are related to a particular SubScore area? Are they related to graphs/charts?
SubScore Area Focus
Do you know how to correctly bubble in your answer to the math calculation questions?
Math Calculation Answers
Look at the number of questions that were left unanswered. Are there more at the end of the test? Remember there is no penalty for guessing!
Is Test Fatigue A Concern?
