Exam Tips for Year 3 Numeracy

1. Read each question carefully — look at the numbers and what the question is actually asking you to do.

2. Use pictures to help — draw dots, lines or tallies if you need to work something out.

3. Skip hard questions — if a question is tricky, move on and come back to it later.

4. Check your answers — if you finish early, go back and check your work.
