Study Schedule
Consider the number of days you have to study before each Midterm.
Make a schedule detailing which days you will study for each exam.
Schedule how many hours each day you will study.
Methods for Studying
As always, I advocate a multi-sensory, multi-night, active approach to studying for a test. To truly understand
information you must go over it multiple times! You must interact with your content.
Strategies
Study in hour blocks, GO HARD then rest…
Study with proper lighting in a quiet place
If listening to music, it should be soft without many words (Distracting!)
While the above are true, don’t get TOO comfortable!
Note cards
Cheat Sheets
Quizzing friends/study groups
Review Notes, Highlight Key Info
Answer section review questions and do Chapter Tests in text
Things to Keep in Mind
Get enough Sleep
Be positive
Stop studying at least 1 hour before an exam
If you adequately prepare, there is nothing more you can do!!!
Test Strategies
Answer questions you know first, then go back and answer harder ones
Take a time out if you are experiencing exam panic
Read all answers before making your choice on multiple choice questions
Use process of elimination
Your instinct is more often than not correct
Arrive early. Bring everything you need. Bring extra stuff too.
Be certain you understand all directions.
Review the entire test and organize your thoughts before beginning.
Look for clues in the questions.
o *read questions carefully
o know exactly what is being asked:

does the question have multiple parts?

multiple negatives?

qualifiers?

absolutes?

any key words or phrases?

agreement clues (i.e., single or plural) ?
-

space clues (i.e., long or short answer)?

look for answer clues in other questions
when you answer short answers , provide too much information rather than too little
be concrete and factual unless instructed otherwise
Keep your work neat.
Review your answers before you hand them in.
Don't worry about what anyone else is doing in the test.
Think positive. Do your best. Breathe.
