Diane Flanel Piniaris Last-minute advice! Get a good night sleep before the exams over the weekend. Whether you're an ECCE candidate or an ECPE candidate, your test-day strategies should be about the same! Remember NOT to spend too much time on any one question, especially in the vocabulary section of both exams! Expect to find words you don't know ... but don't let this panic you! For each item, rule out the ones you know are wrong and GUESS! Then move on! Your goal on both tests is to save as much time as possible for the readings, which take more time to do well. Good luck on the composition sections! Choose the topic you think you can develop best and most quickly. Remember that there is no official word limit that you must reach, so don't count words at the end! Instead, use the time to check for careless spelling mistakes or grammar errors that could make a bad impression on the examiners! If you have any last-minute questions, feel free to ask them! A
