How to be successful on your Pre AP Geometry Tests

Plan Ahead  Complete assignments as soon as they are assigned.  When you miss a problem from the assignment, mark it so you will remember to go back and study it.  Ask for help when you don’t understand.  Either read each section before you work problems, or at some time before the test.  Always refer to any teacher-prepared notes when you are working on assignments, and read them again before the test.  Always check odd-numbered answers in the back of the book as you go.

Multiple Choice Questions  Work through all the problems that you know how to do first, then come back to the others.  See if you can eliminate any choices.  If you are uncertain about how to work a problem, is there any way you could plug the answers into the question and work backwards?

Open Response  When answering a question that is written in sentence form, answer in sentence form.  Re-state the question in your answer so that if someone where reading your answer without reading the question, it would still make sense.

Example  Question: What appears to be true about the diagonals of a parallelogram?  Answer: The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Format

General tips  PRACTICE working the problems that you know will be on the test.  Practice by re-working the problems that you missed when you did your homework.  Read the sections and any notes provided by your teacher to help prepare for tests.  Look in the Chapter Review section at the end of the chapter. It has a nice summary as well as practice problems (with all the answers to these in the back of the book).  Refer to the reference material in the back of your book.
