Study Habits Most people suffer on exams, not because of lack of effort, but the inability to study correctly But like ice cream flavors, everyone has their preference on how to study. Suggestions:  Index Cards (colonial regions, people, cause/effects, etc.)  Timeline (Pre-Columbian America to 1754)  Annotate Notes & Handouts (I know, FUN!)  Consolidate Information & Notes via Organizer (venn diagram, t-chart, matrix, etc.)  Study Groups
