Tips
Getting ready for Grades 11 and 12
- Practice at full length and on the clock: about 42 seconds an English question, a minute a Math question.
- In Reading, read the passage first, quickly, then answer. Every answer is in the text; rule out choices that go further than it does.
- In Science, the data answer most questions. Find the table or graph the question names before you read the choices.
