|
|
Its always been known that multiple choice tests are easier than essay tests if you aren't so sure to what your doing.
I will be adding more tips from replied posts.
Test Taking Tips
| Code: | *If you aren't sure to which answer, choose the most informative one.
*Eat a good breakfast.
*Get a good night sleep (8-10 hrs)
*On Multiple Choice, usually no more than 1 question will have the same answer than a previous question. Don't continuously choose the same answer.
|
Studying Tips
| Code: | *Don't cram, study days before the test, then on the day before it refresh as much information as you can.

Eat a good breakfast?
I'm sure we're talking about big tests like the SAT or PSAT or something similar. Tests that you take in school you really only have to study 1 day before at the earlierst.

Study the day before.
Get a good night's sleep (8-10 hours).
It's scientifically proven that if you sleep well after you study, you retain more of the information on the next day.

Don't continue studying if you're bored half to death or feel sleepy. It won't get stored in your memory or you'll only remember fragments of it.
Take breaks. Too much study is counterproductive.

I always find a good nights sleep is far better than a nights cram session.

If there are only 4 options in multiple choice and all of a sudden there's an "All of the Above" option, that's usually the answer.
Also, I tend to look at what option hasn't been used in a long time and look at that the most.

studying alone is BORING, i always study with my friends
a group study is better than studying alone
also, you don't need to study THAT hard in order to get an A
you only need to pay attention in class and understand the lessons so that when the examination day comes, all you need is to review your lessons

Studying with friends always ends up talking about other stuff then you say man, we need to study, you study for 5 mins and then talk about other shit.Atleast for me this what happens.

| i have found that, i do better at tests not studying for it, because i pay too much attention to a particular section that i presume will be on the test, and it usually isnt. so i find that not studying for me is the best way.

I like to study after 6:00pm, mostly because I read somewhere you remember stuff better if you did it later at night. Works for me
