Study Tips

 
Here are some helpful tips on getting ready for that Science Test or Quiz!

* Study in a place that is free of distractions. Have ready all the things 
you will need, such as paper, pens, or a calculator.
* Study at a time when you are alert and not hungry or sleepy.
* Don't wait until the last minute to study! Short daily study sessions are 
better than one long session the night before the test.
* Set a goal for each study period. 
* Repetition is key! Read and reread your class notes and the relevant 
chapters in the textbook.
* While you are reviewing your notes, cover them up periodically and 
summarize them out loud. Pretend that you are explaining the material to 
someone else. 
* Create your own study aids.
     Make an outline from your notes of just the main ideas. 
     Make flashcards for studying vocabulary or important concepts. 
     Make up your own quiz or test based on your notes and have a friend,    
parent,or sibling test you.
* Do any practice exams or study sheets provided by the teacher. These will 
help you focus your study session and give you confidence.
* Use the online Vocabulary Games on this website!
* Use the Study Guide given to you in class.
* Come in for EXTRA HELP during AE if you do not understand something.
