STUDYING FOR THE TEST It is never too early to start studying; the earlier you begin, the more time you will have to sharpen your skills.

What to Study Refer to TAAG Take a practice test Do an item analysis Study those topics you scored lowest Rank topics from lowest to highest on practice test –or- from hardest to easiest to learn Study the flashcards EVERY day – consider Anki or Flashcards To Go Make notes about important concepts – create more flashcards if necessary

When to Study Make an appointment with yourself EVERY day – If you have a smart phone, put your study time in your calendar Try to study at the same time each day Plan your studying during daylight hours Used “Spaced Repetition” for flashcards Do not wait until the last minute to study -- Do not cram

Where to Study Create a specific area for studying Keep all study materials together so you don’t have to search for them Choose a spot free from outside distractions

Practice Tests CLASS ACTIVITY—TEST ANALYSIS First practice test: no time constraints. See exactly what you already know Do a test analysis of each practice test to find out where you need to focus your study Obtain several practice tests – don’t keep taking the same one When taking a practice test, try to duplicate the test conditions of the real test Keep track of dates & raw scores CLASS ACTIVITY—TEST ANALYSIS Workshop facilitator: Stress that students don’t learn by taking the same practice test over and over again. They merely memorize how to do one specific problem. It is important to take a different practice test each time. After taking each practice test, take the time to do an item analysis (determine which problem concepts you missed on the test so you know which areas to focus on during your study time).

Using Flashcards U-Tube Video (excellent) Spaced Repetition Leitner system of boxes Flashcard software Flashcards To Go (by James Harris) Anki  Jolene’s favorite Add notes or add your own flashcards Highlight items you don’t know (assuming you know the rest of the flashcard information) CLASS ACTIVITY—MAKE FLASHCARDS

Develop a Study Plan Scheduled Realistic Be consistent Do NOT cram Use your time wisely Prepare, don’t procrastinate Post your study plan in the kitchen and in your study area (and in your electronic calendar) Praxis I® Study Plan on Demand ($15.95)
