Test taking

This week we had a test on unit two and the beginning of unit three.
There were a few questions that i got wrong because of careless reading errors.
I have had trouble taking tests for as long as i can remember. And here are a few things that a learned about taking multiple choice tests.
-make sure you circled the right bubble. On one of the questions i chose the right answer but i circled the wrong answer and then i didn't go back through the test to make sure i circled all the bubbles correctly.
-Read carefully. One thing you can do is underline important terms in the questions. EX. i got a question wrong because I read 'brain' instead of 'brainstem.' again more careless errors.
-Another thing is that when/ if you underline important terms in the questions define them in your mind correctly. IE genetics: the study of DNA and their effect on evolution, life, heredity, ect

These are some things that i am trying to keep in mind while I take tests. I have not perfected these methods and they may not work for everyone but I can guess that a few of you have this problem too and I hope that my tips may help on your test taking abilities.
