Chapter 8
Test-Taking Strategies for Core Math
IN THIS CHAPTER
Saving time with shortcuts
Whittling down the answer choices
Coming up with the correct answer on your own
Mathematical knowledge and practice are very important for taking the Praxis Core exam’s math section, but the arsenal you take into battle doesn’t have to stop there. Test-taking strategies can make your weapons even more effective. What you know is extremely important, but so is what you do with what you know. This chapter is about making the best of the knowledge you have.
If you decide to use only one bit of advice on test-taking strategies, let it be this: Never stay on a question that looks like it will take an extreme amount of time to answer. This applies to any type of question. You can write down the number of the question in the hope of going back to it later. Some people get so caught up in a challenge to answer a time-consuming question that they use up time they could have used to answer four or five other questions.
