When you study, don't cram the night before. Study over your notes et cetera 4 times a day every day at times when you are in a quiet room with mo interruptions. \n\nHappy Trails!

Take little breaks now and then, so that you don't put your brain in overwhelm. Education is like a workout for the brain, but you also have to self-regulate so that you keep yourself in check. Don't talk yourself into quitting. Also, it's helpful to have a social life, using it as a reward system if your study projects have been completed. Use "fun" for your reward, and your mind will grow more agile so that you can get through it. Cheers!

Learn the prefixes and suffixes -- this will help you weed out incorrect answers on the test as well as choose correct answers.\n\nAlso, I always found it useful to post short lists of words I needed to memorize (both for the GRE and when studying a foreign language) over the sinks in the kitchen and bathroom -- that way I can review when I brush my teeth and do the dishes.  \n\nFlash cards also work wonders.  I like to color-code mine.  You could do yours by parts-of-speech or into groups of words with similar meanings.   That way if you come across a word and don't remember the definition, you might remember the color of its flash card and be able to guess.\n\nGood luck!

1. Eat Right (Don't Skip Meals)\n2. Organize (don't just reread notes) create outlines from your notes & readings, organize the raw material you've collected all semester (this process in and of itself is a form of study)\n3. Study - again not just rereading, try testing your self (make up questions or see if your texts have questions at the end of chapters etc.)\n4. Sleep - staying up late cramming won't help it will actually decrease your ability to test well.  So get to bed and get some sleep\n5. Take a walk before the test, get the blood flowing and clear the mechanism (so-to-speak) this will help you.\n6. The standards (your first instinct answer is almost always right, but always go back and check your answers, make sure you read the question correctly, answered all parts of it etc.)\n7. When you finish a test, put it out of your mind (again, exercise can help you here) and move on to the next one.  Stressing over the result of a test that is finished can effect how well you do on the ones you haven't yet taken.\n\nGood Luck

What you are experiencing is common and known as test anxiety. Some people experience anxiety to the level that their fight or flight response kicks in, and they begin to answer test questions in panic mode. There is medication for learning disorders and general anxiety that help alot of people. You can also try some relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, stretching, or exercising before the test. Check your thought processes for negative self-talk, such as "I know I will fail. Replace these with a positive affirmation/ mantra such as "I'm going to win" or "I know this stuff." YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Hello,\n     Well firstly, all the best for your tests. Poor you, having to answer tests... :-(\n     Tests are no monsters really, its just a battle of wits and guts. So if you lose the battle in your mind, you fail (or at least do badly) in your test. The important thing to realise is that you must always remain neutral. Dont get all panicky and desperate. The world isnt coming to an end. Neither get really cool and unconcerned. It is a test after all, you have to do well. Just strike a good balance. If you have studied, then half your job is over. The other half of the job is to calm down and remember the information, so that you can recollect it during the exams. Thats it. No big secrets...

Eat a high protein breakfast... eggs and meat. Avoid coffee or sugary drinks, and candy. (Caffeine and sugar give your body a quick "boost" that can be followed by a "crash", making you ultimately feel tired and drained.) Get 8-10 hours of sleep, wake up in plenty of time to not feel rushed getting ready for school. Excercise if that is something you usually do that makes you feel good. Go in to the test with a relaxed, positive attitude and prepared with pencils, calculator, etc... as required/allowed.

Try some yoga or just breathe. Take it slow and start a study regime. Do things at a specific time and don't go off it. Feel confident that you know the info. . Whenever you don't know an answer go with your gut feeling. Take deep breathes whenever you feel like you're going to fail.\nGood luck and just breathe.

Being a good test taker is all about confidence. You probably have all the knowledge to answer the questions. Just stay calm and focus and you'll do great. Oh yeah, and studying helps too.

I agree with the suggestion of summarizing your notes, but would add that getting some exercise is often a better way of getting some down time. Even just taking a walk is good. It helps clear your mind and has actually been shown to improve learning. \n\nand... (I can't help it because I'm a Mom...) eat right and get enough sleep. Good luck!

1.  Come prepared with pens, white-out, pencils, erasers and a watch.\n2.  Sit up straight and don't sit near people who will distract you.  If you often have questions during the test, sit near the front of the room.\n3.  If you have to read something and answer questions about it, start by reading the questions first.  Then you'll know what to look for when you're doing the reading, and can underline important passages as you read.\n4.  Trust your intuition and keep the first answer you selected.\n5.  Use the information from multiple-choice questions to help you write essay questions.\n6.  If you have to write an essay question, use the words from the question in your introductory sentence.\n7.  If you have a math test, always show your work.\n8.  Give priority to the questions that are worth more points.  Don't waste ten minutes on a question worth one point unless you're finished everything else on the test.\n9.  Before you submit your test to the teacher, go back and make sure you've answered all the questions and didn't miss a page.\n10. If you had to answer multiple-choice questions on a bubble sheet, frequently check to make sure you're filling in the right row.  ALL of your answers will be wrong if you accidentally miss a row or put two answers in one row.\n11.  Plan something fun to do right after the test so that you won't just sit around worrying for the next two hours!\n\nGOOD LUCK!
