Concepts that will be Covered Worst Ways to Study Best Ways to Study Helpful Tips for Taking: Multiple Choice, True/False, and Essay Tests Test taking Strategies 7 Day Study Plan

Worst Ways to Study Waiting until the last minute. Having the television turned on. Studying in a crowded location. Studying with a large group of people. Cramming all night without going to sleep.

Best Ways to Study Review your notes daily. Make flashcards. Form a study group. Ask the professor for help. Avoid distractions. Anticipate questions that might be on the test. Implement small breaks into long study schedules.

Helpful Tips for Taking… Multiple Choice Tests Cross out incorrect answers. Watch out for “All of the above” or “B and C are both correct” type of answers. Be confident with your first choice and try not to change your answers often. Look for grammatical clues – when definitions don’t match up.

Helpful Tips for Taking… True/False Tests Go with your gut. Avoid looking for patterns. Look out for qualifying terms – always, never, every, all, etc. Follow the common rule of advise – If there is an exception, the answer is false.

Helpful Tips for Taking… Essay Tests Anticipate possible questions. Make an outline. Proofread sentences.

Test Taking Strategies Read the directions twice. Look over the test before answering any questions. Look for hidden answers. Block out distractions. Ask the professor if you have a question. Put a star (*) next to any difficult questions, skip them, and go back to them after you have finished the rest of the test. Review all answers before turning in your test.

7 Day Study Plan Begin studying 7 days prior to exam. Plan 2 hours of study each day.

Organize notes & materials Day 1 Organize notes & materials Outline all study materials. Make sure no notes are missing. Study the most important material first.
