Studying Strategies
1 Come to review sessions. Take notes and ask questions about items you may be confused about.
2 Study in small sessions over several nights instead of trying to cram the studying into one or two nights.
3 Make sure that you understand the material well, don't just read through the material and try to memorize everything.
4 You may want to form a study group with your friends so that you can help each other with concepts . If you choose to study
in a group, only study with others who are serious about the test.
5 If you get all of the questions correct in a section of the review, don’t spend too much time studying that section. Focus your
energy on studying for areas where you missed one or two questions.

RTDQ- Read the darn question! Read the question and (for multiple choice) all of the answers. Answer each question
completely, including any explanation required, or choose the best answer for a multiple choice question.
Answer every question.
a Eliminate any wrong answers to narrow down your choices for multiple choice questions.
b Check the reference table for helpful information (remember that the formulas and symbols are in there!)
c Look at other questions for clues to help you answer.
d If necessary, guess for multiple choice. Put SOMETHING down for the constructed response portion - just do
your best.
Monitor your time.
a When you first receive your test, do a quick survey of the entire test so that you know how to efficiently budget your
time.
b Pace yourself, don't rush . Read the entire question and pay attention to the details.
c Don’t worry about the time too much, but don’t spend too much time on one question. If you get stuck on a
question, put a star by it and move on, then come back to it after you have answered the remaining questions.
d If you have time left when you are finished, look over your test. Make sure that you have answered all the questions.
Only change an answer if you misread or misinterpreted the question because the first answer that you put is usually
the correct one. Watch out for careless mistakes and proofread your short answer questions.
Write legibly. If the grader can't read what you wrote, they'll most likely mark it wrong.
BRING A CALCULATOR AND PENCIL (with a good eraser!) TO THE EXAM!!!!
