STUDYING FOR TESTS
- Review notes frequently. Do not wait until the end of the unit to begin reviewing.
- Use note cards to review concepts that are especially difficult for you.
- Use all resources to get a complete picture of what might be on the test.
- Complete chapter reviews and tests in the textbook.
- Review class notes and unit objectives to determine topics emphasized.
- Review homework.
- Simulate a test-taking situation.
- Take the Chapter Test (or some other practice test) in the amount of time that will be allowed in class. Do not allow interruptions. If you do not score at least 80% on the practice test, you need to study more.
- Get a good night's sleep the night before a test. A clear mind is as important as a brilliant one!
- Try to remain calm, and maintain a "positive mental attitude."
