  1. a great thing is sleep do some ok studying, but dont cram make sure you get some good sleep you are more likely to retain what you learned if you get some good sleep after studying and dreaming about it.


  2. Be actively involved in managing the learning process, the mathematics and your study time:

    Take responsibility for studying, recognizing what you do and don't know, and knowing how to get your Instructor to help you with what you don't know.

    Attend class every day and take complete notes. Instructors formulate test questions based on material and examples covered in class as well as on those in the text.

    Be an active participant in the classroom. Get ahead in the book; try to work some of the problems before they are covered in class. Anticipate what the Instructor's next step will be.

    Ask questions in class! There are usually other students wanting to know the answers to the same questions you have.

    Go to office hours and ask questions. The Instructor will be pleased to see that you are interested, and you will be actively helping yourself.

    Good study habits throughout the semester make it easier to study for tests.

    Studying Math is Different from Studying Other Subjects

    Math is learned by doing problems. Do the homework. The problems help you learn the formulas and techniques you do need to know, as well as improve your problem-solving prowess.

    A word of warning: Each class builds on the previous ones, all semester long. You must keep up with the Instructor: attend class, read the text and do homework every day. Falling a day behind puts you at a disadvantage. Falling a week behind puts you in deep trouble.

    A word of encouragement: Each class builds on the previous ones, all semester long. You're always reviewing previous material as you do new material. Many of the ideas hang together. Identifying and learning the key concepts means you don't have to memorize as much!

  3. Usually, making flashcards with notecards help me.  

    For math, put the theorem or concept on one side and the answer on the other.  Go through these a couple of times, until to know them.

    Afterwards, ask someone to quiz you.  For math, there's probably questions in the back of the book and answers.  Solve those and see how you do.  If you really need extra help, go to your teacher in the morning and ask for help on whatever you don't get.  Usually, they give you corresponding worksheets as well.

    Hope I helped, and good luck with that test!

  4. different ppl study in different ways. when studying for a final, it ususally helps to study old tests and quizes and go over your notes. good luck((:

  5. Go off your review if you have one, if not make your own list based off of tests and units you've covered. Especially the question you go wrong.

    1.Go through this list on topic at a time, till you can do each question correctly

    2.Move on to next topic and do the same thing. Till you've covered ever topic.

    3. Do questions over and over again till you've got it down pact. Do it as neatly as possible and set up equations in the same way so you get used to doing it and know how it should look and therefore remember better how to do it.

    4. Anything you don't understand circle in red and ask your teacher for help, do this over and over again till your sure you know it. If you can't sometimes its best move on to something else you will be able to understand.

    5. Review everything right before the exam, anything you can't get to stay in your mind for long write on a piece of paper and take it with you and read write before the exam, then write everything down quickly on scrap piece of paper so you don't forget

    Take breaks in between, if you stay up late studying and don't go to sleep early enough to get a good night sleep only sleep an hour or so otherwise it's even harder to get up and hard to remember stuff. After a certain point sleep goes against you.

    For courses where its facts you have to remember read over your notes over and over again, say it out loud. Then cover it up and say it to yourself. Do this little by little then try and repeat large amounts to yourself this way it flows better all together in your mind, this is the best way for me. Some people make flashcards and it helps a lot, but for me it doesn't.

    Find a time and place that’s best for you to study I prefer at night when everyone is asleep because no ones up making noise/phones ringing or others watching tv or kids playing outside. Then I can concentrate my best.
