I find making lots of notes helps. There are other ways - concept maps, diagrams, reading through your work, asking your teachers for practise exams, going through things with a friend so that if you've missed work you can help each other out. These are just a few examples, find one which works best for you. But don't forget thatwhile studying you should have a break every hour or so, or have an extra curricular activity outside of school so that you're not locked away studying all the time. Too much study can be hazardous to your health, breaks can help and keep you focused.

The best practice are those emulators that simulate the test. Books are good for general vocab review and math review, but they don't simulate the actual testing environment well.\n\nThe trick to the GRE is that your first few questions are critical. From there, your score is narrowed down with right answers getting you harder questions and wrong answers getting you easier questions, until a score is decided by the computer.

it depends on what kind of learner you are as to what method of revision will be helpful - do you learn by doing things, hearing things, seeing things etc. ?\nyou need to find out, and then for example if you learn via hearing, record some tapes of you saying facts and listen to them again and again...\n\ni find it helpful to write down key points on cue cards\nthe mental process involved in finding the key points from a textbook etc and writing them down will help you to know them, \nthen you can re-read these cards over and over. \n\nBut ther are lots of tests on google to find out what kind of learner you are...good luck!

Because for me... and I'm sure others can vouch... exams rely on short term memory and sensory registry... much of what you write/answer on exams is forgotten within 1/2 hour :P

The most effective way to study is by taking notes on the things you have to study for. Take notes when your teacher(s)gave you the date of when the test or quiz is going to be on. Don't put down EVERYTHING...only put the 'important' things down. And don't put any defintions down. Put the defintions on vocabualry cards. Once you have the notes and vocabulary cards down, study it everyday. Once you have memorized the defintions on the vocabulary cards always study at night, or in the morning. Don't do anything else when you are studying the vocabulary cards. You will be distracted and might not get it down. Study the notes too. But a better way to take notes is on a blank piece of paper leave about 4" blank by scooting to the right. Draw a line down the middle (doesn't have to be straight). After you have taken the notes, on the very left where you left it blank, write down questions, and you should number it so it will be way easier. Even after you have taken your test, you should still study it, because when you have your finals you might need it.\nThat's a really good way to study.

Here are some tips that work best for me.  Hopefully they will work for you too.\n\nIf you have one exam to study, divide the work up into small "chunks".  This will improve your chance of remembering the information.  Study for only about an hour at a time.  Often times if you study past an hour, the information will be a big blur and difficult to comprehend and remember.  You may always study more, but give yourself a break.\n\nIf you have more than one exam, follow the tips above.  Just make sure you are studing all of the subject areas everyday.\n\nHope that helps,\n\nAlex

People can forget up to half what they learn within one hour and almost everything within 2 days. Refresh your memory by reading over your notes every 2 days.Two weeks before exams take your notes and rewrite them - rewriting is a great way to keep things fresh in your memory. Also figure out what kind of things you need to learn. Is it checklists, chunks of text, legal cases or ways to solve problems? The approach is different for each. But the main tip is remember what you want to get from your qualifications and stay focussed on that. Then you can stay motivated.

First of all, Have confidence on urself that whatever u r doing is the best and all the other sitting are fools. U must have confidence for them. Secondly, my tips goes like this--\n 1. whnever there is a word ALWAYS the statement is bound to be false.\n 2. Mostly u gotta pick up the word in it. They r simple if u think so. Only the language is a bit twisted on them. \n3. Don't solve anything new about 2 hours before the exam coz during the exam u should have highest amount of confidence that would surely take to sucess.\n4. If u think that u r stuck on it, leave it and do the rest of the exam and get back to it when time permits. \n5. Start the exam with the best part u like the most.Don't tackle difficult part first. \n6. Last but not the least, Do hardwork and leave rest to Him to dcide.!!

Exams for learning are a time tested method for conveying success in learning to the teacher and to further the thought process for the student.

The most effective way for me to study is to use flash cards.  I think this is because in addition to "flashing" them to study I have written down the question and the answer.

Sounds like someone is looking to cheat on their exam....\n\nYou are better off learning the material than copying another exam....

I found the best way to study for my exams was to breakdown everything I needed to know into little topics.\n Then I would get a piece of a3 paper and do big spider diagrams for each topic and draw pictures to help me remember. I used to make up little songs and rhymes as well. Sounds stupid but it work. \nOh and when your in your exam a good tip someone once gave me was: read though the whole exam paper, put a tick next to all the questions you definatley know the answer too. Then question marks next to the ones where maybe you know the answer and a cross next to the one you havent a clue. Then go and do all the questions with ticks, by which time you brian is focus and you will probably have remember the maybe (question mark ones) ones so that when you come to the lasts crosses (havent got a clue ones) one you brian is correctly in gear and the crosses will hopefully be question marks if not ticks!! hope that makes sense. good luck

i normally write things down and that way i take it in better, even if i'm just copying out. If you have past papers for the exam you should write out the answers for them and learn them. This will give you confidence that you can do some of the questions that came up previously. and - Good Luck!

Nothing like practice but reading also important.  Reader's digest has words to learn in the front usually. Seems some internet resources - many - so important to choose 1 or two ways so you don't spread yourself too thin.  It is really a life long process to learn, and what school should have been preparing you for all along. I found when I studied Latin it helped a lot for understanding vocabulary.  A buddy may help you to learn or keep on practicing as you learn best by teaching each other. Reading books especially classics can help but I don't know how much time you have to prepare for this exam. A dictionary at your side is important so you can learn.  A grammar book might help too but again that takes time. A buddy might help you keep on trying. Good luck!

1. Find a quiet place to study,\n2. Clear your study area of all distractions; and\n3. When studying, have all of the available study materials on hand to prepare for your exam.\nAll of them are brief rules to prepare for an exam, but that goes a long way to get you a passing score.

Flash cards are my study aid of choice...If I am memorizing, I tend to break it up into pieces and learn a short part every day until it is due.  That way I can learn it slowly and keep it in my head longer than if I crammed it in my head in a day or 2.  hope this helps.

yeah, it was easy. That's the great thing about this country: if you study for an exam, you'll pass. BUt on the timing part, here's my advice, if you don't know what to do as soon as you finish reading the questions, then chances are you're going to waste time trying to figure out something. First work on all the questions that you know at least 90% how to answer, then go back and try to solve the other questions.
