Set aside a time of day to study for your exam. Schedule an hour or two to prepare for the exam. Study and practice as much as you can, without distractions.
Study in small increments instead of a cramming session. Review your notes for 10 minutes while on break or waiting for class to start. This review is an effective way to refresh your memory.
Create a study group. Quiz each other on the information that will be on the test. A study group helps motivate you to do better.
Ask your instructor for any help you feel you need. Take advantage of the assessments and pretest material that your instructor has made available. Attend any out-of-class review sessions, even if you feel that you do not need it.
Plan your week before the exam. Schedule your study session as before. Take time off from extracurricular activities to allow more time to study.
Sleep well the night before your exam. Eat a full breakfast the day of the test. These healthy practices help your brain wake up and get you motivated.
