Test Taking

For every hour you are in class you study outside of class for two hours.

I lectured for 3 days (3 hours) on The History of English

How many hours should you have studied?

Rewrite/Reorganize your notes Flash cards Recording yourself and then listening Study Group Partners

Auditory- Be There; Listen; Record

Visual- See it

Kinesthetic – Write It

Computer Tests Answer all of the questions you know the answers

to first Go back and answer the questions you wrote

down Paper Tests

Answer all of the questions you know first Write notes in the margins/ highlight key words for

those you are unsure of Go back and answer the questions you skipped

Realize that it happens Reflect –

Did I truly study? What methods did I use? Is there something else I could have done

different to prepare? Go talk to your teacher/professor during their

office hours Ask to review your test results Ask if they have any suggestions

THERE IS NO RETAKE!

THERE IS NO EXTRA CREDIT!!

THERE IS NO I WAS NOT HERE

THERE IS NO I JUST GOT INTO YOUR CLASS

Get it done Get it done right Get it done right the FIRST TIME

What does this mean to you?Reflect on the highlights of this

power point.How can you apply this to your

academic career? What, specifically, do you need to do

to ensure your personal success in high school, college, trade

school, your job/career?
