A couple of the most important tips:\n\nStudy every day; don't wait until just before a test.\n\nStudy only what you don't know; don't go over things you already know.\n\nIf you search the Internet for "how to study" you will find loads of web sites with more ideas.

Start a study group with people you find interesting.  They will make learning the material interesting.  Take good notes during class, type them out and print them on index cards.  Make one card per day be your best friend.  Read it in the bathroom, during breakfast, during lunch, while riding to and from school, before you go to bed and right when you wake up.  Talk to your teacher about tutoring.  Drink a soda and eat candy right before the test.

Read the text once. look up vocabulary u don't undestand. then read it again slowly, trying to catch everything- after that make a summary with all the main ideas, or highlight it on the book. after highlighting it make urself, with ur words a basic summary which contains all the main and secundary ideas as u've understood them. after that try to memorise it by repeating it twice or three times. and ur done. if it's maths,jst start from the first excersise up to the last .. nd practice.. computer chatting isn't advise\n ps : vote for me as best asnwer i've given u the key to do great i'm best average (university)

Sometimes a teacher will let you come into their classroom and study during lunch, before or after school. Or, you can go to the school library. You might also want to talk to your favorite teacher and let him/her know what's going on at home. Sometimes it really helps to have someone you can talk to, and they might have some study suggestions for you.\n\nYou can improve your reading skills by reading a lot. Read different things...books, magazines, signs, anything you see with words. I'd say read the questions and answers on here, but the spelling and grammar is so bad in some of them that I don't think they will be a tremendous help to you. When you read, stop after a paragraph and ask yourself what you read (in your own words). If you can't do it, you aren't comprehending the words.\n\nIf you are having a lot of trouble reading, you might be dyslexic. If you think that might be the case, ask your teacher or counsler if you can be tested.\n\nGood luck.

It would be good to read over your part of the book...oh....about twice, then make notes out of index cards. Depending on how many more days you have, you can study for the test without wasting valuable time looking for your textbook.

First of all, the thing that matters most is that you turn it in complete, and do the best job you can to proofread it with the help of a parent or other teacher.  [The only way this test can mess you up is if you don't finish and fail the class, or you are applying to a very competitive private high school that cares if you made an A+ in 8th grade English. If not, just finish it and do the best you can. Be proud that you got it done and did your best.]\n\nYour summary is not bad so far.  Make an outline. Summarize each chapter in 3-5 sentences. Write on separate notecards if that helps you.  Then put it all together in order.  If you are not sure of your words, use simple phrases. Do not try to be too fancy; just try to get it done.  Once you are done you can ask friends or family to help you check it over for spelling, punctuation and grammar. (Check for all these errors together, then check again for each type of error separately. If you make changes, reprint the whole thing and go over the whole thing again).  But you have to finish it first. So focus on getting the content down, then work on the presentation.  \n\nIf you feel overwhelmed, this is a trick that I use on myself.  First, when I am organizing my notes, I tell myself "This is the easy part, just making notes. No big deal. The hard part is putting them together."  Then, when it comes time to putting the notes together, I tell myself, "I already did all the research. This is the easy part, to put together what I already selected."  Then when it comes to editing, I tell myself "This is the last part. Just correcting what I already wrote. I already did the hard part which was writing it."\n\nI hope that helps you!

on a standardized test grade yourself on each page. if there are four questions on the page make sure you got 3 right. 10 questions & right. if you do this then you will surely pass. as far as studying (Seriously) I used to study in the bathroom. turn on the fan and no one will bother you.\nmake sure you earn every 70 you get and dont cheat no matter what.

Actually it can depend on how you mind works.  It kinda falls into these categories\n\nReading (visual)/verbal (action)\nShort term Memory/ Long term memory\nQuite/background noise\nDeep focus/ Short focus\n\nSo what you need to do if start testing yourself and seeing how you learn best.  \n\nDO YOU REMEMBER WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THEN WHAT YOU READ? \n\nYES:  You should see about studying with friends so the topic can be discussed and thus fixed into you head.  Jot down concepts and information you are unclear or unsure of.  Also topic you know will be covered heavily in the test before meeting with the study group and/or friends.  Then refer to these note to make sure you discuss these when your all together.\n\nNO:  Then you can learn certain reading technique to make scanning material more effective.  And create bullet notes that you can read clearly for review.\n\nDO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK BETTER THEN THAT LITTLE CHOIR YOU MOTHER JUST ASKED YOU TO DO? \n\n(Good short term test is getting a deck of cards.  Pull out two suits.  Lay the two suits face up in a grid pattern. (Make sure you shuffle them first).  Now look at the card, when you feel you know where everything is flip the cards face down.  Now how many pairs can you find?  The more pairs the better your short term memory is.\n\nYES: Now if you long term memory is better you'll do better reviewing the material in shorter bust but more frequently.  Say at the end of the day review the notes you took that day and the day before.  Then just before a test don't actually study. It will allow you to pull from long term memory instead of stuff you shoved into short term memory the night before.\n\nNO:  If your short term memory is best you will gain from cramming just before a test.  That does mean organization of your notes and material is more important.  It will not only make it easier for you to remember but allow you to cover material quickly.  Use note cards and highlighter when ever possible.\n\nDO YOU FEEL MORE COMPORTABLE WITH ACTIVITY GOING ON AROUND YOU? (The concept of a little noise is that the human brain actually takes a break around every 7 minutes.  The result is at these points if your in an environment your unused to, you brain will wonder off and it’s harder to get back to work.  So if you’ve been trained to focus when things are quite, you’ll study best with things are quite.  Only children tend to work best this way, because they didn’t have a busy house hold around them.  But large families always have noise in the house so children from these homes actually tend to do best with some form of back ground noise going on.\n\nYES: Then turn on some music or the TV.  It’s best if the music or TV show is old and your very familiar with it.  That way when your brain takes the little brake it can focus on the familiar and let you get right back to work. If you can’t have either of those study in a main room with people coming and going, or an old favorite of mine is to go to a park or coffee house.\n \nNO:  Turn off all distractions, like cell phones, close doors, and let everyone know you are not to be disturbed.  If there is not quite place at home go to the library or a similar minded friend’s house. \n\nDO YOU PREFER MAGAZINES OR NOVELS? DOING SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS IN ONE DAY VERSE SPENDING THE WHOLE DAY DOING 1 TASK? DO YOU ALWAYS SURF TV CHANNELS INSTEAD OF LEAVING IT ON ONE CHANNEL UNTIL SOMETHING YOU LIKE COMES ON? \n\nYES: Burst study you should always take a break between different topics.  And you shouldn't study longer then 30 minutes if possible, any longer and you start loss your effectiveness.  Take like a 30 minute to hour break and then go back to study more.\n\nNO:  For long term study gather everything you want to get done.  Have it organized in the order you wish to go through the materials.  Get everything you need to be comfortable long term, like drinks, munchies, comfortable chair, extra pape

how long do you have before youre test date? i recommend breaking your studying into different sections, and making time every single day. you probably should take a sample test first to see what areas you need the most improvement with. you can get a sample test here: http://www.ssat.org/\n\nfor math it's pretty easy to brush up on the basics if you understood the main concepts the first time you learned them in school.\n\nfor vocabulary there are vocab lists you can get to study from (which is basically like memorizing) but i've always found looking at the words themselves to be most helpful. break them down into parts. the word "confusion," for instance, looks like "con" and "fusion." you can figure out that "fusion" is the noun form of "to fuse" which would be bringing together different parts. "con" is a negative, or the opposite of something, so con-fusion would seem to be breaking up the parts that were once together. that's not exactly the precise definition but it gets you close enough that you could guess the right answer from your choices (you know it's negative and about order or disarray). try to approach your multiple choice questions that way, by eliminating the options that definitely don't work.\n\nfor reading they're testing how well you understand what you're reading and can figure out the main points of the paragraphs. try to summarize the essays into one or two sentences. what is the new idea the author is trying to say? what wouldn't be common knowledge? a lot of times the extra details aren't as important.\n\nfor writing make sure your grammar is perfect: noun, verb, punctuation. also try to write a paragraph the same way the reading selections are formed: include a topic sentence and then explain in more detail why you are claiming what you do.\n\nyou might make a light mark to the left of any answers you skip if you're not sure of them, so you can go back if you have time. but focus on getting as many answers done as you can from those you're more confident about.\n\ngood luck!

Here are some that are listed where I go/went to school (I graduate in May!!!)\n\nHere is one of the things they mention. Go to the site for more info :-)\n\n\nSQ3R Study Method\n\nThe SQ3R method is the reading and studying system preferred by many educators. Reading research indicates that it is an extremely effective method for both comprehension and memory retention. It's effective because it is a system of active reader involvement.\n\nStep 1. "S"= Survey\nBefore you actually read a chapter, or go over a particular section of notes, take five minutes to survey the material. Briefly check headings and subheadings in order to understand the author's organizational pattern of ideas to be discussed. Scan all visual material. Read introductory and summary paragraphs. This preview will enable you to anticipate what the chapter is about.\n\nStep 2. "Q"= Question\nCreate interest in the material by asking: What are the main points of the chapter? As you read, keep the question in mind and figure out the most important points. It gives you a clearly defined purpose for reading, and helps you maintain interest in the material.\n\nStep 3. "R"= Read\nRead the chapter actively for meaning. Go through the paragraph before underlining, then underline key words and phrases to help you recall the main points. Be selective, you don't want to highlight non-important points or miss anything that can help your comprehension. Summarize main concepts in your own words in the margins. The more active you are in the reading process, the more you will retain.\n\nStep 4. "R"= Recite\nAfter every few pages, close your book and recite aloud the main points to the questions you posed in step 2. Try to recall basic details as to the author's intent by putting them in your own words. Verify your answer by checking the text. If you can't remember the text, read through it again. If you don't get it now, you won't remember it for a test. Take as much time as you need to answer your questions. Don't be frustrated, this takes more time but the information will be clearer in your mind.\n\nStep 5. "R"= Review\nFinally, review the chapter every so often to fix the material in your mind. Keep rereading your margin notes and underlinings. Verbalize the sequence of main ideas and supporting facts to aid retention. Numerous reviews are a lot more effective than one cramming session the night before an exam. Review once right after you've finished reading and then every couple of days.\n\nThe SQ3R is time consuming at first, expect it to take ten to fifteen percent longer to read a given chapter when you first begin. Research indicates a 70% increase in retention after two months of using the system and, eventually, a reduction in time spent preparing for exams.\nhttp://www.gmu.edu/departments/csdc/study.htm

The way i like to study for a test is to read the material, think it through, and then try to write it down in point form. this is good because i will see what i cant remember, and the pointers can be used as a review.
