Practice a lot.\nMake yourself some flash cards, with both sides and review them everywhere, bus, car ride, bathroom, in the hallway. Start early and they are easy to keep up with.

well if you study for your history exam but you can't remember anything what good have you done. Find out how you learn (touch, visual, listening) that will lead you to how you should study

~ Do your homework right when you get home before turning on the TV or computer.\n~ Find out if your school offers an elective that teaches study skills, or see if there is a tutoring program you can join.\n~ If a teacher offers a study group for a test go for it, he/she will know exactly what you need to study and you won't be wasting time memorizing the wrong stuff.\n~ Pay attention in class and take notes.  If a teacher writes something on the board copy it down, the teacher wouldn't waste his/her time writing down something unimportant or irrelevant to the topic.\n~ Use a planner or some type of organizing book to write down homework and *check it every night*.\n~ Once the teacher tells you the scheduled date for a test start studying, even 15 minutes a night will make a difference.\n~ If possible, study with friends, this can help a lot because different people might have ideas you never would have thought of for remembering certain topics. (Just don't waste time fooling around or getting off-topic until the studying is done.)\n~ Eat a good breakfast, get lots of sleep, and participate in sports. ( The brain needs food, rest, and a stress relief.)\n~ good luck : D

PRAXIS I-\nI went in cold and passed.\nIt is similar to the SAT, so I'd suggest getting an SAT study guide.\n\n\nAs for the PRAXIS II- oy!\nIt was probably the hardest test I ever took in my life.\n\nYou'll need to study Economics, Psychology, World History, US History, and Civics.

Take notes. Read into a tape recorder and then listen back to it later. Teach someone or something (your cat) the concepts you read (without looking at the book!). People learn in many different ways. Some are better verbal learners, some are better visual learners, some learn better by doing. By attacking your problem from multiple angles, you will succeed. Make sure you have the time to learn (turn off the TV, phone, and music and don't wait until the last second to study).

Group the documents based on the information given. Some will be pro of the subject and some will be con. Best thing to do is read all eight or nine documents and just get the main idea of the document. If you can do that, incorporate them in essay and you will be fine. \nHmmm by the way I took the world history and I got a 4 this summer. Just study and you will be fine.

Make some good notes, do not just 'read' by making notes you are more likely to absorb the information. Split each subject up into sub-headings so that each element of a subject is broken down into bite-size chunks as opposed to attempting to digest a vast amount of information.\n\nAsk for help if you need it, don't suffer in silence. I failed all my mock exams and was very concerned so I spoke to my tutors who were very helpful and I passed the real exams. Also speak to your follow classmates, they should be able to help you out too or provide support.\n\nGood luck! Overall, just try to understand the material the best you can and don't leave it to the last minute!

Study for human Biology today and then take an hour break.\n\nThen study for geography.  Geography is pretty simple, you have to use flash cards and then put yourself in front of a blank map and go at it. Keep quizzing yourself with those blank maps/flash cards.\n\nBiology... It's very important that you understand the chemical processes in biology as well as the technological names. So I would recommend putting the names of flash cards and reviewing the chemical processes once or twice just to hammer it in. This really helps if you make an outline!!!

Write down some of things in the book you don't understand and then look them up on the Internet when you get home.  Isn't social studies about countries; their exports and climates etc?\n\nSeems like you could find out all you need just Googling.

Use the PRTR method: Preview. Read. Think. Review.\n\nPreview the text by nothing subheadings, bold faced words and maybe making up some questions you to answer as you read.\n\nRead the text carefully, highlighting and making notes as you go along.\n\nGo do something else for an hour but don't watch TV or go on the computer. You will end up thinking about what you read and putting it in your own words.\n\nReview your highlighting, notes and answered questions the day you read the chapter, before a lecture and before a test.

For math, do your homework every night. Go and ask your teacher questions every time you don't understand. \n\nFor history, find out before hand what will be on the tests and what formats they'll be in. Ask your teacher how you can best study for them. \n\nAs for your grades in general, do EVERY single assignment, even if they seem dumb. All the points add up by the end of the quarter.

1) LOTS OF COFFEE\n2) Often reading aloud can help you remember things more than reading them silently\n3) If you're working on something math or science related, try skipping problems and doing one or two per section, go back, and re-read the sections, paying close attention to definitions and formulas\n4) Get at least a little bit of sleep; remember you need 4 hours just to fuction, and a couple more can't hurt. Honestly a well rested brain will probably be able to piece together enough BS to at least pass the test, as opposed to a tired brain trying to cling to whatever it barely knows in between random shut-downs.
