“Ok, those seem like good ideas, but how do I actually study for a test?”

  • First, come up with a plan! Bigger tests call for more studying.
  • Find out from your teacher exactly what material will be covered (which chapters?), and what kind of test it will be (multiple choice or essay?).
  • Plan to study for a shorter length of time on more days, instead of one big cram session the night before.
  • Get a good night’s sleep the night before the test.
  • Try some of the strategies on the next pages, and see what works for you.

Watch Michael and Jon talk about learning how to be more organized and how to plan for success.
