The test you take in the fall will contain the same four parts as this practice test:  \n(1) reading questions,(2) writing and language questions,(3) math questions you cannot use a calculator on, and (4) math questions you can use a calculator on.  \nSet aside about 2 hours and 45 minutes to take the entire test, and use the practice answer sheet on pages 3–6. Have your calculator available only for the Math Test – Calculator. After the test, check your answers to see how you scored.  \nGet Credit for All You Know  \n􀂆 Use a No. 2 pencil.  \n􀂆 Follow instructions for marking your answers, particularly for the Math student-produced response questions.  \n􀂆 Mark only one answer to each question.  \n􀂆 Make dark marks and fill circles completely.  \n􀂆 Erase completely if you change a response.  \nTest-Taking Strategies  \nTry these out when you take the practice test:  \n􀂆 Focus on easy questions first. For each correct answer you receive one point, no matter how hard or easy the question is. Beware of careless errorson questions you know how to answer.  \n􀂆 You don’t have to get every question right. You can do well even though you answer some questions incorrectly.  \n􀂆 Work steadily. Don’t waste time on a question that is hard for you. If you cannot answer it, mark it in your test book and go on. Go back to it later if there is time. Use a watch to help with pacing.  \n􀂆 It’s okay to guess , especially if you can eliminate some of the answers. You won’t lose any points if you guess incorrectly.  \n􀂆 Mark your answers in the correct row of circleson the answer sheet. Be especially careful if you skip questions.  \n􀂆 For math questions 14–17 and 28–31, first write your answer in the boxes above the circles, and then grid your answer accurately and as completely as the grid will accommodate. In the actual test, you must grid the correct answer in the circles to receive credit. If the incorrect circles are marked, the answer will be scored as incorrect, even if the right answer is given in the boxes. A common mistake is marking two circles in the same column, so be sure to double-check your grids.  \n\n| \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>| STANDARD TIMING\u003Cbr>Reading Test:\u003Cbr>Writing and Language Test:\u003Cbr>SCORING\u003Cbr>Each correct answer:\u003Cbr>Wrong/blank answers: | 60 minutes 35 minutes\u003Cbr>One point No points lost | Math Test – No Calculator: 25 minutes\u003Cbr>Math Test – Calculator: 45 minutes\u003Cbr>GUESSING\u003Cbr>There is no penalty for wrong answers, so it makes sense to give the best answer you can to every question, even if it is just your best guess. |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | MARKING ANSWERS\u003Cbr>Make sure each mark is dark and completely fills the circle.
