Despite thorough preparation, even top students are prone to making avoidable mistakes. To help you steer clear of common pitfalls, we surveyed dozens of experts from the National Test Prep Association to compile a list of the top ten mistakes students make on test day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>1. Obsessing Over Tricky or Difficult Questions<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhen taking the tests, spending the most time on the most time-consuming questions is a bad bargain. The smart move? Take a quick, educated guess on questions you find confusing. This way, you\u2019ll have time to answer the easier questions. Once you\u2019re at the end of the section, you\u2019ll have time to revisit those hard questions.\u201d &#8211; <em>David Blobaum, Summit Prep<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>2. Departing From What You Learned and Practiced<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Mike Tyson, the boxing great, once said, \u201ceverybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.\u201d That\u2019s true for test-taking. The test day environment will challenge you, and you want to resist the urge to revert to your old habits the moment you feel the adrenaline kick in. Make your practice count by simulating the test day environment so all your hard work doesn\u2019t go to waste the moment you reach a question that feels like a punch in the mouth.&#8221; &#8211; <em>Jon Stein, Empowered SAT<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>3. Skimping on Sleep<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Adequate sleep is crucial for optimal test performance. Not getting a good night\u2019s sleep can lead to increased stress levels, attention issues, and difficulty processing information quickly, all of which can impact a student\u2019s test scores. You don\u2019t want to throw away weeks or months of hard work in a single night! Always make sure to get the recommended 8-10 hours of sleep to guarantee your best performance.&#8221; <em>&#8211; Nikki Rooks, Rooks Tutoring<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>4. Worrying about Test Difficulty<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAfter every single exam, I hear \u201cthat was way harder than any of my practice tests\u201d. That\u2019s possible, but unlikely. What\u2019s much more likely is that your perception of difficulty was off. Don\u2019t let how challenging a test feels affect your performance. If it\u2019s hard for you, it\u2019s hard for others. But you\u2019ve prepared more than them. Control what you can control and focus on what you know. If it actually was more challenging, the scale will be in your favor.\u201d <em>&#8211; Alex Pint, Pathway Prep<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>5. Looking for Patterns in the Answer Choices<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSome of my students get a bit superstitious when they spot a suspicious pattern on the scantron\u2014\u201c4 C\u2019s in a row!\u201d It can be unnerving when you spot a pattern or you haven&#8217;t picked a particular answer choice in a while. However, don&#8217;t let this skew your judgment. Focus solely on each question and the best answer for it.\u201d <em>&#8211; Paul Pscolka, Ivy Masters<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>6. Experimenting with Test Day \u201cRituals\u201d<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019ve heard students tell me how they plan to \u201ccrush\u201d the exam. For example, one student told me he will give himself a pep talk in the mirror and then blast \u2018hype\u2019 music on the way to the exam. Unfortunately, that surge of adrenaline doesn\u2019t make you any better at analytical reasoning or critical thinking, and it will lead to a crash. It\u2019s always better to avoid rituals and follow your normal school day morning routine.\u201d <em>&#8211; Ari Freuman, Ivy Tutor<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>7. Trusting Unqualified Advice<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhether through self-studying or working with a tutor, learn what works for you. Absolutely avoid last-minute advice. You can be influenced by online videos or high-scoring peers because they have earned higher scores, which means their strategies must be better than the ones you already cultivated\u2026right? NO! Trying new strategies on test day is a formula for failure. Trust yourself and use what you have rehearsed.\u201d <em>&#8211; Adam Snoza, Aim High Test Prep<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>8. Rushing Through Sections<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSome students are determined to go fast\u2014&#8221;Not running out of time today!&#8221;\u2014but they only absorb a fraction of what they\u2019d understand easily at a normal pace. As a result, these students finish much earlier, making many mistakes. Time is resource that should be optimized. Aim to finish each section with just a few minutes to spare.\u201d <em>&#8211; Mike McGibbon, MathChops<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>9. Leaning on \u2018Tip &amp; Tricks\u2019<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThere\u2019s a common misconception that studying for tests is about learning \u201ctips &amp; tricks.\u201d While tricks are useful in places, true success in the SAT comes from deep understanding and solid preparation. Success on this test comes from putting in the time and effort to truly understand how to solve the problems. This is the path that leads to a score worth bragging about. So, while strategies are fantastic, they are most effective when combined with a comprehensive understanding of the material \u2013 that&#8217;s the winning formula.\u201d <em>&#8211; Laura Whitmore, Strategic Test Prep<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>10. Going in cold:<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Parents often ask if their child should take an ACT or SAT without prep, either to secure a baseline score or because they heard someone aced the test without prep. The short answer: &#8220;No.&#8221; The longer answer: &#8220;Nooooooooo.&#8221; We&#8217;ve heard stories of these miraculous cold 1600s or 36s, but consider us highly skeptical. Students who achieve top scores have put in the work! The truth is, these tests are hard, and almost all students do better when they&#8217;re coached by experienced professionals.\u201d <em>&#8211; Rob Pollak, Pollak Tutors<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The National Test Prep Association features over 200 test prep organizations and professionals.
