Study Tips

• Luck favors the prepared
• Work with a Study Buddy to make sure you have complete notes and to keep each other on track
• Make self-tests from your class notes and review them regularly
• Study actively: speak French at the dinner table, teach quadratic equations to a friend who is struggling
• Study playfully: imagine yourself as Eisenhower planning D-Day, design a version of Monopoly for Science

Test-Taking Strategies

• True/False Test: try not to read too much into the statement
• Multiple Choice Test: before you read the choices, decide what you think the right answer might be and choose the option closest to it
• All Tests: trust your first answer
