Effective Test-taking Strategies

I've opened this account almost a year ago in the hopes of starting classroom online discussion. I think we are ready to give it a try.

All topics must be classroom related and abide by the safety, respect, and learning appropriate rules, remember those?
I expect students to utilize standard English as must as possible, refrain from using textspeak, and try to avoid typos. In addition to being an experiment for learning, it is also writing and communicating practice.
First topic of discussion is related to standardized testing and more specifically upcoming PSSA tests.
Agree or not, our state and federal education system relies on standardized tests to measure learning. With that in mind, what do you think are some effective strategies for doing well on the PSSA's?
