Music to Your Ears - Test Taking Tips

It's midterm time at BYU. Most classes will send you to the dreaded dungeon known as the testing center to take your tests. Give yourself a break and try out the music room in the testing center. It's generally not as crowded and is above the regular testing area. Solve complex math problems, figure out the English language, and be a bubble filling master while listening to Mozart.  Studies have shown that listening to classical music aids focus and concentration. It also muffles the sound generated from those really annoying people that sniffle, scratch, or do other crazy things in the testing center.

How do you get there?  Just walk out the door after you get your test, turn left, go to the end of the room, and go up the stairs. Anyone working there can help you find this little gem.

  1. another handy testing center tip is to go onto the BYU testing center website and look at the live web cam. It's nice to be able to quickly tell how bad the lines are.
