WHAT TO STUDY?!

Stress the following parts in your review:

  1. The areas you have the most problems understanding. (don't over study the information that you are already comfortable with)
  2. Things that were studied in class.
  3. Parts the teacher has pointed out to study.
  4. Questions in text books, on quizzes, and review questions at the end of the chapters in your text book that were covered.

WHERE TO STUDY?!

~"I like to study in bed or laying on the couch or floor
in the middle of my family's tv night."

Does this sound like you?? If so, here is a little tip.

*Memorizing information is better when you study in a setting similar to the one you will be in to take the test. Also, your state of mind should be similar to what it would be for taking a test (Serious, I hope!). The more you can make your studying place and attitude like that of school on the test day the better. This will make you better prepared and able to remember the information you have studied.
