Make Flashcards

Making flashcards can help you retain important information that you might have forgotten.  Just write down the key words, vocabulary and just keep practicing the flashcards until you got everyone correct this will help you review your material. 

Pay Attention

In order for you to know what you need to study you have to be in class and be active. Listen to the teacher and write down any notes that you feel like they are important to know.  Don’t be scared to ask questions if you are confused or don’t understand the material, it’s better to ask and know for the test.    

Manage your time wisely

Make a schedule of when you should start studying. DON’T leave studying to the last minute or you will be way more stressed. Prioritize according to which class you need to study the most in. 

Take breaks

Do not study for hours and hours until your exhausted. Take breaks in between your study sessions to not overwhelm yourself and your brain. Even take a quick walk to just more around and get more energy. Don’t forget to eat something and drink water to stay hydrated!

Sleep

 A good night’s sleep will leave you more prepared mentally and physically. Don’t stay up all night to process everything! It’s not worth it! Just relax and stay calm, not getting any sleep is the worst thing you can do for yourself before big tests like these.
