  3. Find a Place • Set aside a place where you go to study • Replicate test taking conditions • Only study in that place • No Facebook • No email • Turn off your phone • No TV • Music okay as long as it doesn’t distract • No lyrics

  4. Find a Time • Schedule study time like you do class time • You don’t skip class to hang out with friends; say NO if they ask during study time • Make a schedule • Google calendar. FREE! • If you make a schedule, you will actually have MORE free time to spend with friends

  5. Study Session: Get Organized • Make a list • What is due • When it’s due • Prioritize your list • By date • By impact on your grade • Set a goal and a reward for reaching your goal • Do something every day

  6. Study Session: Get Started • This is the hardest part! • Start by reviewing your notes from last class • Helps refresh your memory, which will help with assignments or studying • Fill in/clarify what you might have missed • Begin the assignment • Even if the first thing you do is wrong, at least you started!

  7. Study Session: Finishing • Finishing assignments isn’t the last part! • Set aside at least 5 mins to review all notes from the beginning of class to present • Reward yourself, but only if you reached your goal

  8. Other Study Tips • Stay organized! • Notebook • Study space • Make studying active • Re-write notes • Draw diagrams • Recite out loud • Act things out • Teach a friend • Work with a study group

  9. Exam Strategies

  10. Before The Exam • Make sure you have all the materials • Calculator • More than one pen and more than one pencil • Erasers • Eat before you take your exam • Sleep at least 6 hours the night before • Do not cram!

  11. During The Exam • Skip questions you don’t immediately understand • Do everything you know first • This will build your confidence for the tough questions • Focus on the higher point questions • Take a break if you are frustrated • Look up and away from the test, and take a deep breath • If you do all these things, you do NOT need to rush • Rushing = mistakes

  12. Good luck!
