状元考前提醒拿到试卷：熟悉试卷刚拿到试卷一般心情比较紧张，建议拿到卷子以后看看考卷一共几页，有多少道题，了解试卷结构，通览全卷是克服“前面难题做不出，后面易题没时间做”的有效措施，也从根本上防止了“漏做题”。
答题策略答题策略一共有三点： 1. 先易后难、先熟后生。
先做简单的、熟悉的题，再做综合题、难题。
2. 先小后大。
先做容易拿分的小题，再做耗时又复杂的大题。
3. 先局部后整体。
把疑难问题划分成一系列的步骤，一步一步的解决，每解决一步就能得到一步的分数。
立足中下题目，力争高水平考试时，因为时间和个别题目的难度，多数学生很难做完、做对全部题目，所以在答卷中要立足中下题目。
中下题目通常占全卷的80%以上，是试题的主要构成，学生能拿下这些题目，实际上就是有了胜利在握的心理，对攻克高档题会更放得开。
确保运算正确，立足一次性成功在答卷时，要在以快为上的前提下，稳扎稳打，步步准确，尽量一次性成功。
不能为追求速度而丢掉准确度，甚至丢掉重要的得分步骤。
试题做完后要认真做好解后检查，看是否有空题，答卷是否准确，格式是否规范。
要学会“挤”分考试试题大多分步给分，所以理科要把主要方程式和计算结果写在显要位置，文科尽量把要点写清晰，作文尤其要注意开头和结尾。
考试时，每一道题都认真思考，能做几步就做几步，对于考生来说就是能做几分是几分，这是考试中最好的策略。
检查后的涂改方式要讲究发现错误后要划掉重新写，忌原地用涂黑的方式改，这会使阅卷老师看不清。
如果对现有的题解不满意想重新写，要先写出正确的，再划去错误的。
有的同学先把原来写的题解涂抹了，写新题解的时间又不够，本来可能得的分数被自己涂掉了。
