1. Write three techniques you used to study for the last test. How long did you spend studying? *You do not have to write the prompt * Do this on a blank sheet of notebook paper and turn it in to the basket (don’t forget to put your name on it)

3.  Make sure you follow the rubric  Use all of the tools that you were given: › PowerPoint › Sample Ms. Sigmon uploaded to her webpage › Rubric › Previous lab  FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

4.  Make flashcards as we go over new terms › What does a good flashcard look like?

5.  Take 10 minutes EVERY night to go over what we talked about in class  If you don’t understand something: › See Ms. Sigmon › Read it in your text book › Use Google and YouTube to find other sources to explain it in a different way › Ask your peers

6.  Recopy your notes as many times as it takes you to remember them › Typing notes is good too but you will retain more if you write them  Study vocabulary every day!  Put all of the distractions away while studying (Twitter, SnapChat, Texting, Facebook, Instagram… etc.)

7.  Draw a line down on one side of the page and leave that space blank when you are taking notes in class › Go back after class and write in the margin you’ve drawn ways to remember the material or questions that you have  Draw Diagrams to help you remember things

8.  Use different colors to help you see the important things  Make important words BOLD

9.  Keep a positive attitude and try to stay relaxed  Do the easiest problems first  Read the ENTIRE question and pay attention to the details › Underline important words in the question  Use the test to help you take the test › Meaning if there is a multiple choice section and a fill in the blank section… use the multiple choice to serve as a word bank for the fill in the blank

10.  Don’t stress about being the first or the last one done with a test  Look over the test before you turn it in › Don’t change answers unless you misread the question or prompt… go with your gut  If you don’t understand what the question is asking… ask Ms. Sigmon!
