Find ways to incorporate motion into your studying (writing, flashcards, etc.).\n\nGet a board game like trivial pursuit, monopoly, etc., make new cards with the information you need to learn, and play the game, drawing one card each turn and answering it before you get to move your piece.\n\nTo memorize lists, go get a basketball, and bounce the ball. For each bounce, say one item on your list.\n\nTo remember and analyze overall concepts, find a way to apply them around your house (especially for science). For social studies, find something you can do that is close to what the historical figures did (but safer), and do it while thinking about them.

Europe is a continent sweetheart. The best way to do it is to make sentances for each like We'll get a Paris of them in France, or I don't want to each Brussels sprouts in Belguim. A lot of foods are named after European cities so you can add a food to a lot. For hard ones like Madrid or Lisbon try to make them into words that sound like them. I think you'll find it helps unless you're a list person and then make flash cards. Use those to study and they'll burn in your brain.

make sure you know what's going to be on the final so u don't end up spending all of your time studying something that's not gonna be on the test. you might want to ask your teacher for a study guide or a general idea of what the test is going to be like. make sure you know if the test is going to be mutiple chose, matching, fill in the blank..etc. that way u know how hard to study because if it's all multiple chose...u probably won't have to study as hard. if u have to memorize things then use acronyms (i think that's how u spell it) or other memonic devices. also make ur studying fun and think up of fun ways to remember things so that way on the test you'll remember how to do it...just make sure u study and good luck on the test!! :)

I had a week to squeeze in SAT studying 'cause of my mid-terms. Buy/borrow a study book (Barron's,Princeton,etc), they really help in getting you familiar with the exam style. I would've failed miserably without that book.\nYour vocab knowledge is extremely important! It helps in Reasoning Test plus gives added advantage for the Essay.\nDon't rush through the paper! You'll just end up making tons of mistakes. Always double/triple check if you have the time. If you have a tendency of reading too quickly and missing out impt info, double-checking reaaally helps.

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!

Look in your AP WH book and look for the link that distributes the book. They should have like alot of free response examples and other little things to help you.\n\nAnd if youre taking the AP exams which give you college credit I suggest you buy a booklet that goes over the format and questions that are most likely to be on the exam.

sleep well, eat well, don't study more than 2hrs a day.(unless you're in Uni)\n\nWhen you study, focus on what you know you'll be asked, and when you have to learn something just be able to answer this question "What is it about?" and then "And so?".\nYou need to be able to develop on the point of the class.\n\nIf you know the point of your lesson then it's fine.\nIf you have to study a foreign language, just work on your vocabulary, have a small notebook in which you write words and read them as much as you can.And try to think in this language you learn while you do simple things.\n\nDon't waste your time re-writing your lessons, that's my main advice.\n\nAnd don't over work nor start to revise one week before the deadline.Final exams shouldn't demand a particular extra work one week before the exams, it's a long run work.You're meant to be able to know about all that you've been working on for the last few months and even years; so just rely on your memory and sense.\n\nIf you don't know something while doing an exam, try to be logical as much as you can, and if your instinct tells you something write as if you were 100% sure about what you say, you either get the points or get nothing but it's worth trying, if you're unsure about what you say you won't get the points anyway.\n\nSo, I would say on a personnal experience (I'm lazy), if you're responsive in class, you've done 80% of the job.Then it's just a wee bit of homework, some reading and a final touch of luck.(yep, luck does count whatever people say)\n\nGood luck to you!! ;)

Here are some tips that work best for me.  Hopefully they will work for you too.\n\nIf you have one exam to study, divide the work up into small "chunks".  This will improve your chance of remembering the information.  Study for only about an hour at a time.  Often times if you study past an hour, the information will be a big blur and difficult to comprehend and remember.  You may always study more, but give yourself a break.\n\nIf you have more than one exam, follow the tips above.  Just make sure you are studing all of the subject areas everyday.\n\nHope that helps,\n\nAlex

Try the series called Vocabulary for Achievement from Great Source Books. It has six levels of difficulty and is aimed at words often used on standardized tests. \n\nThe reading is something that you must simply practice doing. You could try timing yourself as a method to improve speed. Usually in standardized tests passages are about 200-750 words in length. So give yourself some passages that long and try scanning them as quickly as possible. I find many students improve their speed if they read the questions first, then they know what they are looking for. \n\nHesitation in speaking is usually based on feeling like you are going to make a mistake and embarrass yourself in public. The only thing you can do is practice speaking. Don't worry about making mistakes -- everyone does, even native speakers. However, I find that my Turkish and Spanish both get easier to communicate in after two or three glasses of wine... Give it a try!

Take a note of what you studied in simple terms. When you see those few tips what all you read must come to your mind. Keep many such notes. Go through them when you are free. Even sitting in a park observing the dogs play with a ball you can review these niotes.\nPRACTISE MAKES PERFECT.\nAFTER FOUR FIVE TIMES YOU WILL REMEMBER THEM ALL AND FAST AND QUICK.
