Tips of preparing for ur exams..

  • Do not wait until the night before an exam to study! Of course, you should be regularly reviewing your notes, but the preparation still takes time.
  • If your instructor hasn't explained to you how he or she designs exams, ask. You need to learn to handle all testing styles--including the dreaded essay exam! 
  • A good first step in preparation is to read through your notes a couple of times. While you are doing this, you might also
  • Highlight major topics and subtopics, with the goal of generating an outline of your notes. Even if you take your notes in outline form, this is a good practice. Major topics often extend through more than one day's lecture, and it is easy to lose track of the overall picture from day to day.
  • With a second color, highlight all vocabulary terms.
  • Outline the entire set of notes. When you study a large body of information, you should study from concept to detail, not the other way around. 
  • Learn the details if you take the time to learn the concept and theory first. The least efficient approach to studying is to attempt to memorize your notes from beginning to end. It's not the words which are important--it's the ideas
