Study Guide & Strategies
Organizing for test
- Begin reviewing early
This will give your brain time to get comfortable with the
information
- Conduct short daily review
sessions
You can ease into more intense review session prior to major exams
- Read text assignments
before lectures
This will help you identify concepts that the professor considers
important and that are already somewhat familiar
- Review notes immediately
after lectures
This will help you identify information that you do not understand
while the lecture is still fresh in your memory--and other
students' memories as well. When you review immediately, you'll
have time to clarify information with other students
- Review with a group
This will enable you to cover important material that you may
overlook on your own
- Conduct a major review
early enough to allow for a visit to the instructor
during his office hours if necessary
- Break up the study tasks
into manageable chunks, especially during major reviews
prior to exams.
Studying three hours in the morning and three in the evening will
be more effective than studying at a six hour stretch.
Studying while you are mentally fatigued is usually a waste of
time
- Study the most difficult
material when you are alert
