(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.

Listen for any last-minute tips or directions
Trust your intuition – don’t change your answer unless you are completely sure
Complete easy questions first to build confidence and reduce stress
Circle negative words like “Not” or “Except”
Jot down any important information at the start of the test
Sometimes the answer from one question will help you answer another question you were unsure about
Eliminate obviously wrong answers and physically cross them out
Ask last-minute questions
Show up early
Double-check that you completed all questions on the test
Save time at the end to review your work
Take some deep breaths, relax your writing hand, or take a short stretching break
Running out of time? Prioritize questions that are worth more points or that seem easy
Try to come up with an answer in your head before looking at the answer choices so you aren’t confused by incorrect answer choices
Circle or mark questions you skip over or want to return to later
Don’t rush through a test just to get it over with
Reframe your negative or limiting beliefs into positive thoughts
In “all of the above” questions, once you find two answers that are definitely correct, you can immediately mark “all of the above.”
Read Test Directions
Making your best guess on a question you are unsure about is better than leaving it blank
Go back and revisit difficult questions or questions you marked
Do what you can, even if you don’t know everything. You might earn partial points
Look over the whole test before you start
Circle words like always, never, all, every, or none
It is okay to “jump around” the test and answer sections out of order
Answer All Questions
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
Be an active test taker. Underline key terms when reading a question
Break long questions into smaller, more manageable chunks
Occasionally check the time remaining so you can stay on track
Once you have finished the test, take the time to review your work
