Test Advice from Emily

We asked our instructors what advice they have for studying and test taking so we could share their wisdom with you. Here is Emily's advice:

Studying:

• Use cue cards for formulas and key terms.
• Study a bit every night rather than for hours the night before.
• Re-do all homework questions.
• Study right before you go to sleep so you retain the information overnight.
• Take small breaks every once in a while.

Test Taking:

• Stay calm and don’t panic when you get stuck on a question.
• Skip a question if you don’t know how to solve it right away.
• Show all your work and your whole thought process.
• If you have extra time after finishing, use that time to check over your work.
• Write down what you know from looking at the question or highlight important information.
