5 Study Tips


1.  Go Over Notes: Try going over your notes, power points, and anything on canvas that the test will cover. I usually do this but write down the key terms from my notes or power points. This works for most people, but not all.
2.   Re-write: If just looking over power points does not work for you, you could try to re-write your notes to help learn it. This helps me, also. It is very simple but helps tremendously. If you do not want to re-write all your notes, you could read through them and then summarize your notes.  
3.   Computer: If you do not understand what is going to be on your test, use the Internet to look up the topics you do not know. Find a website that teaches it to you so you can learn it for the test. Some specific websites would be Sparknotes for English and Khan Academy for math and science. You could also email or group text people in your class to get help from them. This helps a lot especially if it is a specific question. Just make sure that you understand the question or topic and they do not just give you the answer.
4.   Quiz: Try quizzing yourself. You could ask yourself questions or use flash cards. There are great flash card apps for phones and iPads that will be with you wherever you go. If you cannot quiz yourself, make a study guide for someone else to quiz you with. You could, also, try to get a group together and quiz each other.
5.  Read for an Incentive: A great way to read through your textbook is to place your favorite candy or a snack in between each paragraph that you are going to read. I, personally, love this way because it gives you something to make you read to the end of each paragraph. You could, also, do this for math problems. Just put candy or a snack at the end of each problem.
