How to Pass Your Next Big Exam

Step 1
First, pick a time to study alone. You will need peace and quite to put forth 100% effort in your work. Try your room, outside on the porch swing, a libray, or even the bathroom if you have to.
Step 2
Next, read the material the whole way through. You will need to read all of the chapters that your exam covers. Do not skip this part it is so important. If you do not understand something read it again until you do or ask for a classmate or instructor to explain it to you.
Step 3
Quiz yourself. You know those annoying chapter review questions...use them. They are a great place to test your knowledge. If you get a question wrong go back and review.
Step 4
Take notes both in class and on your own. The more you write it down, the more it will burn itself into your brain.
Step 5
Use flash cards. These work great for vocabulary words and for math. Have a friend help you study with them. You can make your own with blank index cards.
Step 6
If you are always on the go, record your notes onto a tape or cd. That way you can listen to them while driving in the car, jogging, waiting in the waiting room at the doctors, riding the bus, anywhere.
Step 7
Get plenty of sleep the night before. The better rested you are the better will your mind will work the morning of the big exam.
Step 8
Take breaks. Your mind does it's best work within the first 30mins of studying. So take a small 5 min break every 30 mins to clear your head. Go to the restroom or get a drink ten back to studying.
Step 9
Above all else don't give up. Keep studying and don't put it off till the last min.
