How do I study for an exam?
Exam Study Tips
- Use the Study Guide. Start with the provided study guide to identify key concepts and topics that will be on the exam. Use it as a checklist to focus your study efforts.
- Review Quizzes. Retake previous quizzes to reinforce your learning. When you get a question wrong or don’t know the answer, make a note of it and spend extra time studying those areas.
- Summarize Your Notes. Revisit your student guidebook and other notes. Highlight or rewrite key ideas in your own words to help you understand them better. Also, challenge yourself to recall concepts without looking at your notes to see how much you’ve retained.
- Make Flashcards. Create your own flashcards to quiz yourself on important terms, concepts, and definitions. Flashcards are a great way to test your memory and review on the go.
- Teach Someone Else. Try explaining difficult concepts to a friend or family member—it’s one of the best ways to solidify your understanding.
- Rewatch the Study Skills Video. Revisit Lesson 0 and watch the study skills video again for more ideas on how to prepare effectively for your exam.
