AI Thread Summary
Standardized tests often yield surprising results, with some intelligent individuals performing poorly while average students excel. Key strategies for success include staying relaxed and focused during the test, thoroughly understanding the syllabus, and practicing with sample tests. It's noted that standardized tests primarily assess test-taking skills rather than overall intelligence. Some participants humorously suggest that cheating is a common tactic for achieving high scores, although this is not a recommended or ethical approach. Overall, preparation and practice are emphasized as essential components for improving test performance.

Just relax and try to focus solely on the test (while taking it). Being smart in no way prohibits you from doing well on a standardized test.

Can't have been terribly smart if they couldn't figure out how to crack a standardized test - or maybe they just didn't care to.

Secret?

Get the syllabus and make sure you know everything on it.
 
just take your time and read things carefully. I do horrible on standardized tests becuase i have STDs (standardized testing deficiencies). On the SAT i only scored a 590 in math, but graduated with a math degree and had a 4.0 gpa in math. standardized tests test your test taking ability, not your intelligence. just take practice tests.
