How to Study for a Test
-Gather and organize all the papers, notebooks, etc, that you might have relating to the subject you are going to study. Look for any paper that might possibly be helpful. It is very easy to overlook helpful studying materials, especially when you are disorganized.
-Decide on an amount of time you are going to study. I recommend starting with about 30 minutes. Set a timer. After the 30 minutes, judge how well you know the material. This will affect how long you will continue to study. If after the 30 minutes you think you have studied everything, you can stop. If not, continue to set up 30 minute time periods. After each, take a short break from studying.
-When you are done reviewing the content for the test, make your own study guide or review. Think about everything you studied. Condense all the main concepts into a review outline. Just making this study guide will help you review the material. It's necessary to recognize which topics or details are the most important.
