Be sure to find out ahead of time 2.Study in a place that is free of distractions. 3.Have ready all the things you will need, such as paper, pens, or a calculator. 4.Study at a time when you are alert and not hungry or sleepy. 5.Don't wait until the last minute to study! Short daily study sessions are better than one long session the night before the test. 6.Repetition is key! Read and reread your class notes and the relevant chapters in the textbook. 7.While you are reviewing your notes, cover them up periodically and summarize them out loud. Pretend that you are explaining the material to someone else. 8.Create your own study aids. 9.Do any practice exams or study sheets provided by the teacher. These will help you focus your study session and give you confidence. 10.Get help from the teacher if you do not understand something. (Hope this helps!)
