14 Helpful Suggestions

To Be Arranged to Your Liking

1. Write so that you nor your teacher can read your writing. Be sure to use an ink pen instead of a pencil.

2. Save your paper by excluding the setup on the problems. Don't show unit cancellations and conversions.

3. Don't have your book and notebook with you. Leave the book in the locker, at home, your car, or at a friend's house.
