Study, make flashcards. If you have a friend that is also in the class, study together.

Breifly, (I don't have much time.)
Eat healthy foods, get plenty of sleep, make sure your not panicing, circulate your breathing and concentrate. Don't over-study, go through notes, talk to your teachers about things which will help prepare you for the test. (:

I'd suggest writing it out into flash cards. The flash cards are always a good study tool and writing it out helps to keep it in your brain. Partner up and quiz each other, True or False questions, multiple choice, keep it a little easier. Highlight the important parts. The teacher nearly always repeats and points out what will def be on the test/ be big marks.

And as said above, SLEEP! Seems dumb but get lots of sleep.

Everything that was said above is true. Make sure you eat breakfast, even if you normally skip. If it doesn't distract you too much, listen to music while you study. This is actually proven to help you retain information. Like Matt said, don't overstudy. So many people think that studying until 4 a.m. on the day before a test is helpful. It's not, studying too much actually makes you more likely not to remember the information.

As for actually taking the test, if you get stuck on a question, skip it and come back to it. This maximizes your time and allows you to more accurately answer the rest of the questions. Just relax and try not to stress out about it.

In addition to what others have said, if you still need help (although you might have already taken it), I find that it helps when studying to say things out loud- I find it helps to pretend to "teach" the subject (to my imaginary "student"), and I remember more. Also, on major tests, after studying my notes I put them away, then try to make a brief outline and touch upon the important facts- I go back, see what I've missed, and make a note to study that.

I have taken it but I always need test tipes

[Magus]

Well, the way I study is to take bunch of sheet. And write the important Key points on the subject on hand. I will rewrite them, this is the only way if I want the study to get it embed in my brain. What I call it as visual+Motor memory.

If Mathematics, I will just sit and solve multitudes of question and even repeat the notes and get it into me brain.

dont revise the night before the test because normally u dont learn anything. and remember to take breaks every hour to hour and a half.

haha i couldnt help thinking of like a hot study date with a girl/guy you like :yes:

but yeah what everyone else said

[INFERNO]

Depending on what it is, I either have memorized it from several weeks ago during lectures or in the book but regardless I write it out (everything) from the textbook, lectures, labs, movies, etc... because I may have over-looked something. After, I summarize the content then see what I already know and the third time, write out what I have trouble with. I may then also make questions for myself, such as discussing how certain concepts are related, giving various examples and such and trying to make it as concise as possible.

Ideally, also then study in groups where each group member is required to have studied otherwise they're kicked out and no longer welcomed again. We ask each other questions to see if they know the answers, even if we do. Compare answers, get other viewpoints or ideas we never thought of, etc... . It also helps to see if you're focusing too much on a small detail or the opposite, being too general.

Within groups, we then take up past tests (great if you get your hands on them in university) or even past exams (much easier to get).

Yeah, those are called Past Papers. We used that to see what's upcoming or what is usually common between the past years.

Or is that different? :confused:
