Hints and Tips for Participating in ICAS
Before the test:
- ensure that you are well rested the night before - do something relaxing!
During the test:
- try to relax and enjoy yourself; too much tension may prevent you from thinking clearly
- do not look at the time too often - that reduces your time doing the actual test
For multiple choice questions:
- make sure you colour in the bubble next to the right question number
- read each question carefully and choose the best answer from the options given
- if a question is taking a very long time, go on to the next question and go back to the one you missed at the end of the time but be sure to mark the page or circle the question number so you remember to go back to it
- if you are not sure of the answer, cross out the options you know are wrong and then decide between what is left
- if you are doing the English paper, read the whole passage before you start answering the questions
After the test:
- at the end of the test time, check that you haven’t left out any questions
- if you have done the Writing test, take care to read through your writing again after you have finished and edit your work for errors in expression, spelling and punctuation
- remember, it's not the end of the world if you feel you didn't do well this time
