schedule Stress reducers and memorization techniques (optional).
Step 1.
Attend all of your classes -- don't ditch.
Always be on time and maintain a schedule that prioritizes hard work over comfort, friends,
and fun in the short term in order to succeed in the long term.
Step 2.
Communicate with the teacher or professor to be sure you understand what is expected
of you, and participate in class discussions.
Step 3.
Take legible notes.
Skip lines to separate points and focus on essentials.
Review your notes and make outlines to make the material easier to remember for tests.
Revise constantly and utilize memorization techniques to absorb information.
Step 4.
Maintain strict study times in a quiet, well-lit, comfortable place at home or at the library.
Step 5.
Scan footnotes, words in bold and italic print, summaries, charts, and review questions to
commit information to memory.
Jot down answers to likely test questions so you can study them later on.
Step 6.
Keep to a tight personal schedule that includes eating, laundry, sleeping, and occasional
socializing.
Make habits out of discipline and achievement.
Research suggests that studying important facts and concepts just before going to sleep
enhances retention.
Step 7.
Reduce test-taking anxiety by closing your eyes, breathing slowly, and imagining the
tension draining out of your head, down your arms, and out through your fingers.
Though taking a test is never easy, don't let stress interfere.
