Test Success

Don't live in fear of your next test. Overcome your fears, and ace your next exam by following these tips!

Before the test
Pay attention to the hints your teacher gives about an upcoming test. Write down exactly what you will be tested on. Knowing what the test will cover is half the battle.
Make a review sheet that includes important points from class and the reading material. Then your study notes will be in one place. Plus, rewriting the material will help you to remember it.
Don't cram! Test prepartion begins the first day of class, so do your reading assignments and homework consistently. Then you just need to review for the test - not learn all the material. Waiting until the night before to try to learn everything will only stress you out. Get a good night's sleep before the test, but if you can't, don't pull an all nighter.
Research shows that getting at least four hours of sleep produces the best test results. Eat a nourishing breakfast to keep your mind sharp. Avoid sugar, as it will hinder your ability to concentrate.
