(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

Circle words like always, never, all, every, or none.
Before answering questions, look over the whole test so you know what to expect.
Double-check that you completed all questions on the test.
It is okay to “jump around” the test and answer sections out of order, as long as you complete every question.
Show Up Early
Go back and revisit difficult questions or questions you marked.
This strategy can help you come up with your answer without becoming confused by incorrect answer choices.
Ask last-minute questions from your studying.
Break long questions into smaller, more manageable chunks.
Sometimes, the answer from a question farther into the test will help you answer a previous question you were unsure about.
If you are running out of time, prioritize questions that are worth more points or ones that seem easy.
Plan the order you want to complete the test in and where you might need to spend the most time.
Circle negative words like “Not” or “Except” in the question to help you focus on selecting the correct answer.
Before looking at the answer choices, see if you can come up with an answer in your head first.
Throughout the test, take some deep breaths, relax your writing hand, or take a short stretching break.
Answer All Questions
Knock out the easiest questions first to build confidence and reduce stress!
Occasionally check the time you have left to make sure you are staying on track.
Do not rush through a test to get it over with.
Save some time at the end to review your work and look over the entire test.
Trust your intuition and do not change your answer unless you are completely sure.
Eliminate any obviously wrong answers and physically cross them out so you do not waste time looking at them anymore.
Listen to your teacher’s explanations to other students' questions.
Be an active test taker. Underline key terms when reading a question, circle important words, and use your pointer finger to scan the question and answer options.
Do what you can, even if you don’t know everything. You might earn partial points.
Once you have finished the test, take the time to review your work.
In “all of the above” questions, once you find two answers that are definitely correct, you can immediately mark “all of the above.”
In “all of the above” questions, if you find one answer option that you are confident is incorrect, you can immediately eliminate that answer and the “all of the above” answer option.
Reframe your negative or limiting beliefs into positive thoughts.
As soon as the test starts, quickly jot down any information you remember that you will likely need to know for the test.
Read Test Directions
It is better to make your best guess on a question you are not sure about than leave it blank.
Listen closely for any last-minute tips or directions.
Circle or mark questions you skip over or want to return to later!
