Take practice tests at various intervals throughout your preparation so you can figure out your strengths and weaknesses. Once you locate your weaknesses, allocate more time to reviewing them. 5. Go to Sleep Early Go to sleep early the night before your assessment test. I know this might sound obvious, but there is conclusive proof that it will help improve your score. According to a study from  Ghent  and  KU Leuven  Universities in Belgium, which surveyed 621 students and asked them about their sleep quality around exam time, students who slept seven hours a night during exam time scored better than those who slept only six hours. Additionally, going to sleep early will ensure you appear rested and relaxed when you face your future employer.  About the Author:  Jennifer Feldman, a speech and language expert, and blogger for JobTestPrep.   She specializes in writing about the employment hiring process.
