STAAR Test Prep Strategies

Our STAAR Tutoring will cover STAAR Test Prep strategies and techniques with your student.

1. Read directions carefully and completely.
   The STAAR Test is a timed test so keep track of your time. After getting the cue to start the test, quickly go over the section to get an overview of what you are working on. This gives you an idea about the STAAR test and what questions you can cover first.
2. Answer questions in a strategic order:
   Answer easy STAAR questions first to build confidence and eliminate obvious incorrect answers. Read through the test a second time and answer more difficult questions. You may pick up cues for answers from the first reading, or become more comfortable with the test environment.
3. There is no penalty for guessing on the STAAR, so use process of elimination to select your best answer choice. Use hints from questions you do know to answer questions you do not.
4. Do not second guess your first answers if you have marked your answer based on logic using elimination rule and critical analysis then do not change your answer. Your first guess is probably your best answer choice.
5. Highlight key words on the STAAR test such as not true, always, least likely, all except, and never.
6. For multiple choice questions

1. A) If the two answers look alike: probability is that one of them is correct; choose the best by eliminating choices that mean basically the same thing, and thus cancel each other out.
2. B) If there are double negatives then: create the equivalent positive statement and always look out for negatives in questions because it changes the best answer you are looking for in the choices.
