During the Test
Read the Directions.
It’s important that you follow the instructions exactly. For example, some questions may have more than one correct answer. Answer easy questions first. Doing this can jog your memory about useful facts. You may also come across information that can help you with other questions.
Answer every question.
Unless there is penalty for wrong answers, try to answer every question; you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete correctly.
Ask questions.

If a question isn’t clear, talk to the teacher. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin.

Effective Study Methods Part 1

Effective Study Methods

Part 1

My test study method: when it comes time to study for the test, I usually start 2-3 days before the test. I go through my notes and make flashcards on what was important for those sections, paying special attention to what the teacher said would be on the test if there was a review session. Also, I go through the book and read the inset stories and add to my flashcards. If there are practice problems or online assignments or old tests, I use those to help me study for the test as well. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards so that I have them for the next test or the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous times-space rehearsal. If you forget something, it is because you haven’t repeated it enough times for an extended period of time. Repetition is a law of learning; therefore, to learn and remember, to recall, it is mandatory that you repeat over and over the things the things you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking, “Oh, no, repeating something.” You need to get used to it. For example, the more you practice a song on the piano the better you become at playing that song. Learning and remembering is like playing the piano-the more you practice saying or doing it the better you can remember it because you have repeated it numerous times since your first being expose to it. So, practice rehearsing those things you desire to remember, and they will stick to you.

Practice-à Proficiency -à Pleasure

The better you remember, the more pleasure you will obtain from studying and learning.
