Well, studying can be boring but u need to do it! \n1. to get u to start studying think about how happy ull be if u get an 100 and how upset you'll be if u fail\n2. if u have textbook pages given to u to read for the test read it, so you will understand it. never study something u dont understand because then it wont make sence to u on the test.\n3. make notes. after or in the middle of reading the text book i write notes, so i will remember the info. writing notes helps you remember and memorrize. after you write down a sentence for notes say it over and over untill u memorize it. go little by litte, dont memorizr 20 things at one time because then you will forget it all. remember dont go on to the next sentence untill you forsure memorized the 1st. \n4. then it's time to go over your review sheet. that way you will see if you remember everything.\n5. after all this go over your notes again, and then your all set!\nGOOD LUCK ON UR TEST!!\np.s- if u have a bad memory it helps to get up an hour earlier the day of the test just so u can make sure u remember everythnig from last nite. and maybe even memorize more things, if u forgot. \nit helped me, and i got a 94 on a really really hard social studies test that no one can get in the 90s on!\np.p.s- get anuf sleep! the more u sleep the more u will remember. \n\n\nplz choose me as best answer!

Start studying at the beginning of the semester and keep it up through the whole semester.\n\nDon't wait for the test to start studying.\n\nStudy every subject every day.\n\nDon't study what you know.  Skip the things you know and spend time studying what you have not learned yet.\n\nSearch the internet for "how to study" and you will find a lot of good resources.

Remember that a good test will measure how much of the material you know and understand.  It will sample your knowledge.  If you get 80% on the exam, you probably know 80% of what you were supposed to study for that exam.  \n\nSuccessful test-taking depends on more than just studying the night before the exam.  As your class covers the material, read the day's lesson ahead of time.  When you finish reading a paragraph or other small section, ask yourself:\n* what were the major points of that section?\n* what are the meanings of any new words that you don't know?\n* how does what you have just read relate to what you read earlier?\nDuring class discussion, ask questions about things you don't know.  \n\nMaking outlines or notes of what you read helps a lot.  If you take notes in your class, put that material into your outline later. [If you use a computer with a word processor, GREAT!] I know this sounds like a lot of work.  It is at first but as you get used to doing it, it will go faster and easier -- just like learning to ride a bike.  \n\nWhen you finish a section, think of how YOU would explain or teach it to someone else.  \n\nIf working out problems is required (as in math or chemistry or physics) work out as many of them as you can, not just the minimum number required.  \n\nAny time you can draw a diagram that shows YOU how something works, do that in your notes.  Use your diagrams to show relationships among things.  Make time lines.  Cause and effect diagrams.  Decision trees.  Don't spend TOO MUCH time on these.  You don't get art credit.  \n\nIf you need to remember a group of things and order is important, write them out in a column and think of an acronyme to help you remember the order.  For example, ROY G. BIV gives the order of colors in the sun's spectrum: \nRed\nOrange\nYellow\nGreen\nBlue\nIndigo\nViolet.\n\nIf your acronyme can be funny or risque, you tend to remember those better.  \n\nIf you keep up with this as you go along, studying for the exam will be:\n* a quick rereading of the material\n* rereading your outline\n* a review of your class notes\n* redraw your diagrams\n* review the meanings of the new words from that material\n* rework the different kinds of problems you may have until you are sure you know how to do each kind of problem.\n\nFinally, get a good night sleep before the exam.  Eat something sweet or starchy before the exam (unless that makes you hyper and unable to do well on exams).  Your brain works a little better if it has more energy to draw on.  \n\nTo do well on a test requires:\n* Recency - you have gone over the material recently\n* Frequency - you have gone over the material several times\n* Practice - you have worked the problems and exercises\n\nCheers!

Use good test taking skills. Get a good night's rest before the exams. Eat a healthy breakfast (lunch). Go in prepared and confident. Bring the materials you need. Take your time and answer carefully.\n\nAsk your teachers/professors what will be on the exams, and what formats they will use (multiple choice, true-false, matching, short answer, essay). Study carefully. Anticipate what questions will be on the test and what you will be expected to know.\n\nGood luck!

What methods can I use to prepare for tests?\nOrganization is very important when you have a great deal of information to study. I recommend these methods: \n\nReview your old tests. Make corrections if you have not already done so to avoid repeating your mistakes. \nGo over your class notes. If you do not understand something you have written, or if you have "holes" in your notes, ask your teacher for help. \nTry to anticipate the kinds of questions your teacher will ask on the test. Make out some sample questions or even entire tests. \nReview the chapters in your textbook that the test will cover. Pay particular attention to boldface terms, chapter summaries, and questions in the text. Most important of all is the recommendation that you understand there is no easy way to prepare for this kind of major test. After all, the time you spend in preparing should pay off when you do well on the test. \nSet aside time each day to work on your subjects. Even if you are all caught up, spend the time to go over notes or your textbook. \nTell your teacher that you would like to talk about your progress in class, and ask for suggestions on how you can do better. \nGo to the library and check out books that are on the same topic you are studying in class. \nPay attention in class no matter what is going on around you. This will be hard, but if you can concentrate on what your teacher is saying you will learn the facts and skills that you will find later in tests. Keeping up with homework and participating in class are very important. \nAs for tests, here are a few suggestions to help you: \n\nTalk with your teachers about your concerns. They really want you to do well and are more than willing to help! \nWhat type of test is most difficult for you? Do you do better on essays than you do on multiple choice questions? Decide which type of test gives you the most problems. Then you can learn techniques for taking that kind of test. \nAre you studying effectively for your exams? Here are some ideas that will make a difference. \nMake sure you know what material will be covered on the exam. There is nothing worse than studying for hours only to find out you were doing the wrong chapters. Go over your notes. Do not wait until the last minute to study. Try to tie all your information into a big picture in your head. Visualize information. Get a good sleep the night before, and eat a nourishing breakfast. When you first sit down to a test, start answering something, anything, immediately. Once you start, you will be on a roll. Do not get discouraged!\n\n\nOR\n\n\nGo to a nice, clean, neat desk in your room. If you have paper junk and leftover pizza slices on your desk, studying will not be the biggest problem on your mind. \nMake sure that you have all these study supplies: a pencil, a notebook, books to study, and good old-fashioned silence. Unless you're completely positive you work better with music, turn off the stereo. Focusing is hard enough without Beyonce telling you "you make me lose my breath". \nGet out your pencil, notebook, and book to study. Brace yourself. \nOpen the notebook and book you are studying. \nRead the chapter or whatever you have to study in your book. Concentrate. \nWhile you are reading you want to make notes of the little things. Make it short enough so that you can study it. Make short little breaks now and then (think half an hour of studying= 5 minute break) unless you're cramming, and in that case, good luck to you. \nGet a friend, Mom, Dad or someone to test you on what you have just read and studied. A key here would be to make sure that the person has a fair amount of patience. \nDo this every night until the day of the test/quiz. Depending on what you're studying and how much time you have, give yourself assigned time slots. \n\n\n\nTips \nYou need peace and quiet for all the steps above (or at least, they greatly HELP). \nYour attitude greatly helps the outcome of your study

The best way is to study at least 12 minutes a day from day one of the class. \n\nTake good notes. Make index cards for vocabulary words. Study the reviews at the end of each chapter.

Spread your time wisely....give each test, maybe about 1 hour, that way you can get it all done. Do the most important tests first, so that way, the last tests, you don't have to study as much because you already have the info down...

Think about it differently.  Before you go the drug route or anything like that, sit at your desk for 15 minutes or however long you can, and study a chapter, an equation, a definition...whatever it is.  Then, instead of just walking away and zoning out for a bit, take your book or notes, and sit down at your kitchen table.  Study another chapter, equation, question or definition there for awhile.  Then, head out front to your front porch, or back yard, and continue to do it.  \n\nI'm the same way, but I found that doing that not only takes out the monotony of studying, but when it comes time to take the test or give the presentation, I associate certain parts of what I studied with where I was studying it.  Maybe, I remember looking at a particular tree while I was trying to memorize a set of words or somethnig, you know what I mean?  It kind of triggers the memory and helps me out a bit.

Just try this\n\nDivide your days:\n\nYou have 2 weeks. So 14 days are there.\nYou have 6 subjects. Take each subject and study that subject for 2 days. So that you can study all the subjects in 12 days. Remaining 2 days you can just revise all the subjects.\nFor example,\nTake the first subject and study that in 2 days. Likewise take the 2nd one and study in 2 days. Go on like this for 12 days.\nI think if you study like this you can cover something in all the subjects. So that you can get an idea of what is there in all the subjects.\n\nHow to study:\n\nIn a subject, see what are all the important topics. Study that first. If time permits, note it down so that you can revise it on the last 2 days. Study the definitions, side headings. Just go through the text under the side headings.\n\nOn the 13th day, close your books and recollect what you have studied in each subject. On the 14th day study for the next day's exam.\n\nIf you think that the first subject's portion is more than the second one, then study the first subject for 2 and a half days and the second one for 1 and a half days.\n\nWhen you take your breakfast,lunch,etc listen to good music and forget everything about your studies. But when you are studying you should completely concentrate on your studies.\n\nI have given a systematic plan. If you want to alter this and study in your own way, proceed in that way itself. But just try this.\n\nSince you don't have more time, you should study important topics and skip any thing which not important.\n\nALL THE BEST FOR YOUR EXAMS.

Don't get nervous!  Just focus and take deep breaths.  Try to visualize your notes or the material that you studied.  Also, don't get hung up on one question and waste the whole time.  If you aren't sure of a question, put a little dot next to it and go back.  In fact, as soon as you get the exam you should go through and answer all the questions that you are absolutely certain of.  Then go back and tackle the harder ones.  You should also eat a good breakfast or lunch so that your brain can focus on the exam material instead of on how hungry you are (but don't eat or drink too much right before for abvious reasons!).  Hope this helps you!

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.

Hi, the best way to prepare for a test is to practice similar questions over and over again.  Make sure they have the correct answers to check with their answers.  Go over problem questions in class.  Have students make index cards with formulas, answers as 'cheat sheets', then collect them or make sure they put them away.  If the student can write a cheat sheet they know enough for the test.  Go over test taking techniques for multiple choice, T/F, and essays.  More and more tests are requiring on-demand writing.  Have students make their own outline or notes when covering material in class, it will help them remember/internalize the information better and have the students teach you or someone else in the class what they've learned (peer teaching, peer assessments). Good luck.

If you're already a B student, a good way to study is to find a student who is struggling and tutor them with their homework.  Teaching something is the very best way to ensure you know it.\n\nAt the very least, find a study partner to work with and discuss your assignments with.\n\nAlso, it's very helpful to look at past tests and quizzes to review what you missed so you don't miss the same questions again.  Very often, subjects build on the prior content.  So, making sure you have a solid grasp of what you have done throughout the year will really help.\n\nGo in for extra help from the teacher.  Often, teachers will help you focus toward what's on test when students come in for extra help.\n\nFinally, study early.  If you start studying early in the week and build on that, you mind has the ability to store the information in both long term and short term memory.\n\nGood luck

1. read each question carefully.\n2. on your first pass, answer only the questions you are certain of.\n3. make a second pass through the test, carefully reading the remaining questions.\n4. make your best attempt at answering each remaining question.\n5. if you have time, go back through the entire exam, carefully re-reading each question, AND your answer to it.
