How do you study for a test?

Question

what works best for you

Answer 1

studying is for losers. i for one enjoy being able to never study ever and still do well in school. but thats just me.

Answer 2

Practice questions 24/7. Recite vocab and words to yourself over and over until they come out naturally. Recite definitions and NEVER be vague about anything before taking a test. If you are... you are likely to do Bad.

Answer 3

I learn best if I hear it being said. So when I have my test guide or study sheet, I turn on a tape recorder and I read the paper aloud. When I am done it's recorded and I can listen to it over and over especialy on the way to class. Then when I sit down to take the test it all comes to me so easy because I have heard it over and over. One of my professors taught me this.

Answer 4

The best thing to do is when you go to a new unit, try revising about 10min a day on what you did that day. THen when the test comes, you actually know the facts instead of just memorizing it. I usually just write things I want to memorize 5-10 times on paper and it always gets stuck in my head!

*The best tip I can give you is that when your in class and daydream, try to look at the teacher because studies show that  looking at the teacher actually helps put things in your brain than just looking somewhere else but try not to daydream=)

I know this great website that has many tips that are like my life savers: http://www.how-to-study.com/

Answer 5

i study best buy giving myself a few days, and on day one i read over my notes and material by mostly skimming, then on the second day i go over them but in a little more detail and then going through all detail on the last day....it gives your brain time to rememer things and doesnt put to much strain on you

Answer 6

Repetition works for me. I used to make note cards and read them over and over again.
