I know today is the barbecue, but tomorrow is the notorious Round 1 Test! From what I've heard, it is computerized this year.
1. Make sure you read a lot tonight, because those words may appear on the test.
2. There are fifty words on the test, but only twenty-five will go to your full score (combined with Rounds 2 and 3). This score will determine if you advance to semifinals or not.
3. Relax and listen to the word. Pay attention to the pronunciation, and read all the information.
4. If you do not know how to spell a word, make your best guess using your knowledge of patterns.
5.You can go back to a word and change it.
6. After the test, do not talk about the words to the other spellers, because this may cause elimination.
Here is the test from last year to help you practice: http://spellingbee.com/sample-test
Good luck!
