TIPS & TRICKS FOR STUDY BY RAHUL PRAKASH SRIVASTAV
study skills
Most students hate tests.
They hate the feeling of trying to remember the answer to a question, worrying that they focused on the wrong material, and waiting to receive their results. Whether you learn at a traditional school or study from the comfort of your own home, chances are you’ll have to sit through many a test-taking experience. But, there are a few tricks you can learn now to avoid the worry before you’re in the heat of the moment. Give these five proven study tips a try and see how much better you feel during your next exam.
STUDY SECRET TIPS
1. Survey your textbook or workbook before you read:-
Take a couple of minutes to find the glossary, index, study questions, and other important information. Then, when you sit down to study, you’ll know where to find the answers you are looking for. Make sure you read any study questions before you read the chapter. These questions let you know what you can probably expect in any upcoming tests, papers, or projects.
2. Attack your textbook with sticky notes:-
As you read, summarize (write down the main points in just a few sentences) each section of the chapter on a post-it note. After you have read the entire chapter and summarized each section, go back and review the post-it notes. Reading the post-it notes is an easy and fast way to review information and, since each note is stuck in the section it summarizes, you can easily find the information you need.
3. Use a graphic organizer to take notes when you read:-
A graphic organizer is a form you can use to organize information. As you read, fill out the form with important information. Then, use your graphic organizer to help you study for the test. Try using the Cornell notes worksheet (you can download an example at Jim Burke’s website). Not only does this organizer let you record important terms, ideas, notes, and summaries, it also lets you quiz yourself on that information by folding the answers upside down.
4. Make your own practice test:-
After you finish reading, pretend you are a professor who is writing a test for the chapter. Review the material you just read and make up your own practice test. Include all vocabulary words, study questions (they’re usually at the beginning or end of the chapter), and highlighted words you can find, as well as any other information you think is important. Take the test you’ve created to see if you remember the information. If not, go back and study some more.
5. Create visual flashcards:-
Flashcards aren’t just for primary students. Many college students find them useful as well! Before you take a test, make flashcards that will help you remember important terms, people, places, and dates. Use one 3x5 index for each term. On the front of the card, write down the term or question you need to answer and draw a picture that will help you remember it. This will help ensure that you grasp the study material as you’ll find that it’s almost impossible to sketch something you don’t really understand. On the back of the card write down the definition of the term or the answer to the question. Review these cards and quiz yourself before your actual test.
TO INCREASE YOUR MENTAL STABILITY,YOUR IQ LEVEL,YOUR LEARNING POWER AND MANY MORE TIPS FOR LEARNING
STUDY METHODS
1 Study in Short, Frequent Sessions.
It has been proven that short bursts of concentration repeated frequently are much more effective than one long session. So, even if you only have 10 minutes, DO IT. Take a break. Then study another 10 minutes. This “distributed learning” approach is highly efficient because it honors the way the brain likes to work. The brain needs recovery and recharging time for “protein synthesis.” The rest periods are when your brain assimilates your effort. They are a powerful tool which many teachers do not acknowledge. To sit and study for hours and hours is not only boring, it creates fatigue, stress, and distraction. You cannot learn if you are fatigued, stressed, and distracted!
2 Take Guilt-Free Days of Rest.
This follows the same principle as above, but on a longer, daily time cycle. The reason for resting is to refresh oneself. However, if you feel guilty (“I really should be studying”) then your precious rest period has been used to create more stress. The brain will not absorb new data if it is stressed. On days off from studying, really enjoy yourself and do not feel bad about not studying.
3 Honor Your Emotional State.
Do not study if you are tired, angry, distracted, or in a hurry. When the brain is relaxed, it is like a sponge and it naturally absorbs data without effort. If you are emotionally stressed, your brain literally repels data. Forcing yourself to sit and study when your mind is on other things is a complete waste of time!
4 Review the Same Day.
When you learn something new, try to go over the points the same day. If you wait a few days and then make efforts to review the material, it will seem much less familiar. However, a quick review later in the day will tend to cement the information into your brain so that the next “official” study session, you will recognize it and it will seem easy.
5 Observe the Natural Learning Sequence.
Think of the activities you did when you were in nursery school. Using your whole arm, you probably performed the song that goes: “Put your right hand in, Put your right hand out.” Then, in kindergarten, using your hand, you might have been asked to draw lines or circles with crayons. Later, in first grade, now holding the pencil with your fingers, you drew smaller lines and circles to create letters. Believe it or not, this natural learning sequence, moving from large to small, coarse to fine, still remains effective even though we are now older. When you study, if you try first to grasp the big picture and then fill in the details, you often have a more likely chance of success.
6 Use Exaggeration.
Why does a baseball batter warm up by swinging two or three bats? Why do runners sometimes strap lead weights to their legs? In both cases, exaggeration during practice makes the final result seem easy. This concept can be applied to studying anything. For example, if you are studying spelling, exaggerate the sound of the letters to help to remember them. So for studying purposes, “naive” would be pronounced “NAY-IVY.” By getting used to this exaggerated pronunciation, the correct spelling seems obvious.
7 Prepare Your Study Environment.
If you require certain elements in your environment to help you study, try to always make these a priority. For example, do you need special lighting, silence, music, privacy, available snacks, etc.? Pay attention to what works for you and repeat it each time you study for best success.
8 Respect “Brain Fade.”
It is normal for the brain to have an attrition rate and to forget things. This does not mean that you are stupid! Instead of getting mad about this fact, you should expect it and deal with it accordingly. See your brain as depositing layers of knowledge. As you place more information on top, the lower levels become older and less available to your immediate recall. The trick here is simply to review. Since we can anticipate the eventual fading of our memory, creating a review aspect to our study session will solve the problem. Once every two or three study sessions, simply review older material that you will be still needing to remember. Often, a quick overview is sufficient. Sometimes, a complete detailed study session of the older material is required. “Brain fade” is completely normal. (Unless you are gifted with a photographic memory, which is extremely rare.)
9 Create a Study Routine.
Generally, if you schedule certain times of the day to study, you will get into a routine and accomplish more. If you just “fit it in” during your day, chances are that there will never be any time. An effective way to do this is to literally mark it down in your datebook calendar as if you have an appointment, like going to the doctor. For example: “Tuesday 3-4:30 P.M. — Study.”
10 Set Reasonable Goals.
One of the main reasons people do not reach their goals is because they set them too high. If you set goals that are manageable, even if they seem too simple, you get in the habit of accomplishing them and gradually you can set higher goals. Also, recognize the difference between long-term and short-term goals. Set your vision on the long-term dream, but your day-to-day activity should be focused exclusively on the short-term, enabling steps.
11 Avoid the Frustration Enemy.
Ironically, the quicker the person’s nervous system, the faster they learn. Yet, this fast nervous system also works overtime in being self-critical. So they are the ones who always think they aren’t going fast enough! In contrast, the “Type B,” less intense person who learns slower yet is more self-accepting, ends up ultimately learning the material in a shorter period of time. This is because he/she doesn’t waste energy blocking, getting upset, and thinking that they’re not good enough — they simply keep moving forward at a slower (but un-blocked) pace.

TIME MANAGEMENT
1. A Personal Time Survey
To begin managing your time you first need a clearer idea of how you now use your time. The Personal Time Survey will help you to estimate how much time you currently spend in typical activities. To get a more accurate estimate, you might keep track of how you spend your time for a week. This will help you get a better idea of how much time you need to prepare for each subject. It will also help you identify your time wasters. But for now complete the Personal Time Survey to get an estimate. The following survey shows the amount of time you spend on various activities. When taking the survey, estimate the amount of time spent on each item. Once you have this amount, multiply it by seven. This will give you the total time spent on the activity in one week. After each item's weekly time has been calculated, add all these times for the grand total. Subtract this from 168, the total possible hours per week. Here We Go:
1. Number of hours of sleep each night ________ X 7 = _______
2. Number of grooming hours per day ________ X 7 = _______
3. Number of hours for meals/snacks per day - include preparation time ________ X 7 = _______
4a. Total travel time weekdays ________ X 5= _______
4b. Total travel time weekends _______
5. Number of hours per week for regularly scheduled functions (clubs, church, get-togethers, etc.) _______
6. Number of hours per day for chores, errands, extra grooming, etc. _______ X 7 = _______
7. Number of hours of work per week _______
8. Number of hours in class per week _______
9. Number of average hours per week socializing, dates, etc. Be honest! _______
Now add up the totals: _______
Subtract the above number from 168 168 - _______ = _______
The remaining hours are the hours you have allowed yourself to study.
2. Study Hour Formula
To determine how many hours you need to study each week to get A's, use the following rule of thumb. Study two hours per hour in class for an easy class, three hours per hour in class for an average class, and four hours per hour in class for a difficult class. For example, basket weaving 101 is a relatively easy 3 hour course. Usually, a person would not do more than 6 hours of work outside of class per week. Advanced calculus is usually considered a difficult course, so it might be best to study the proposed 12 hours a week. If more hours are needed, take away some hours from easier courses, i.e., basket weaving. Figure out the time that you need to study by using the above formula for each of your classes.
Easy class credit hours ________ x 2 = _______
Average class credit hours ________ x 3 = _______
Difficult class credit hours ________ x 4 = _______
Total _______
Compare this number to your time left from the survey. Now is the time when many students might find themselves a bit stressed. Just a note to ease your anxieties. It is not only the quantity of study time but also it's quality. This formula is a general guideline. Try it for a week, and make adjustments as needed.
3. Daily Schedules
There are a variety of time schedules that can fit your personality. These include engagement books, a piece of poster board tacked to a wall, or 3 x 5 cards. Once you decide upon the style, the next step is construction. It is best to allow spaces for each hour, half-hours for a busy schedule. First, put down all of the necessities; classes, work, meals, etc. Now block in your study time (remember the study time formula presented earlier). Schedule it for a time when you are energized. Also, it's best to review class notes soon after class. Make sure to schedule in study breaks, about 10 minutes each hour. Be realistic on how many courses to take. To succeed in your courses you need to have the time to study. If you find you don't have time to study and you're not socializing to an extreme, you might want to consider lightening your load. Tips for Saving Time Now that you know how you spend most of your time, take a look at it. Think about what your most important things are. Do you have enough time? Chances are that you do not. Below are some tips on how to schedule and budget your time when it seems you just don't have enough.
4. Don't be a perfectionist
Trying to be a perfect person sets you up for defeat. Nobody can be perfect. Difficult tasks usually result in avoidance and procrastination. You need to set achievable goals, but they should also be challenging. There will always be people both weaker and stronger than you.
5. Learn to say no
For example, an acquaintance of yours would like you to see a movie with him tonight. You made social plans for tomorrow with your friends and tonight you were going to study and do laundry. You really are not interested. You want to say no, but you hate turning people down. Politely saying no should become a habit. Saying no frees up time for the things that are most important.
6. Learn to Prioritize
Prioritizing your responsibilities and engagements is very important. Some people do not know how to prioritize and become procrastinators. A "to do list" places items in order of importance. One method is the ABC list. This list is divided into three sections; a, b, or c. The items placed in the A section are those needed to be done that day. The items placed in the B section need completion within the week. The C section items are those things that need to be done within the month. As the B, C items become more pertinent they are bumped up to the A or B list. Try it or come up with your own method, but do it.
7. Combine several activities
Another suggestion is to combine several activities into one time spot. While commuting to school, listen to taped notes. This allows up to an hour or two a day of good study review. While showering make a mental list of the things that need to be done. When you watch a sit-com, laugh as you pay your bills. These are just suggestions of what you can do to combine your time, but there are many others, above all be creative, and let it work for you.
8. Conclusion
After scheduling becomes a habit, then you can adjust it. It's better to be precise at first. It is easier to find something to do with extra time then to find extra time to do something. Most importantly, make it work for you. A time schedule that is not personalized and honest is not a time schedule at all.

Note Taking Techniques
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note Taking Techniques
The most comprehensive note taking systems require attention on your part. You must be alert enough in class to take legible, meaningful notes. You can't rely on "writing everything down" because a lot of information in a given lecture won't help you actually learn the material. If you have problems determining the specific relevant points in a particular class, you can always ask the professor to clarify them for you.
The 2-6 Method: The 2-6 refers to the way you divide the space on your notepaper. Make two columns, using the red line on the left of the page as your border. Then, when you take notes in class, use the 6 column for the notes and the smaller 2 column on the left as a highlighting system. Write main headings and important points on the left, including material you think you will be tested on. When you're finished, you should have a comprehensive page of information that you can quickly scan for important points. Studying is 99% perspiration; if you give it a real, concentrated effort over the course of a semester you will see an improvement. Your academic success is entirely up to you.
Split Page Method
Class lectures and your textbook--they're the primary sources of course content and you need to learn both. So combine them with the split page method of taking notes. Just divide your notebook page in half lengthwise. Draw a line down the middle of the page. Take class notes on one side of the page and outline the text on the other side. When you study you'll have both. Class notes and text together, integrated. Some students find it helpful to add a third column for questions they need to ask the professor.
Using Group Notes
Are you tired of struggling to keep up with a lecture while copying page after page of notes in class? My advice? Don't take the notes -- at least not every day. Instead, form a group with some of your classmates and take turns taking good class notes. When it's not your day to be the note-taker, really concentrate on what is being said in class. You might want to jot down a few particularly important points, but mostly try to participate in class. Ask questions when you can't understand the point your teacher is trying to get across, and score points by answering questions your teacher asks. After class you can either photocopy the notes from your classmate, or better yet, copy them over by hand while reviewing in your mind what happened in class.
Secrets to Taking Better Notes
As a writer for Edinboro University and its Alumni News magazine, I spend a lot of time interviewing people. A key interviewing skill is taking good notes--a skill that is just as valuable in the classroom. There is no magic to taking good notes, just common sense. It's simply a matter of being thorough and accurate. Now, not many people can write fast enough to capture everything their professor says in class, so it is a good idea to also use a tape recorder. That way you won't miss something while you write, and you can double-check the tape for accuracy. Whether you use a recorder or not, it's important to transcribe your notes as soon as possible while the subject is still fresh in your mind. By re-writing or re-typing your notes, you become more familiar with the material. You mentally reinforce what was said in class. And you get practice writing the information, making it easier to write the material a second time whether it be for a test or a term paper.
Noteworthy Notes
Are your grades as good as you want them to be? Are your notes worth reviewing? Notes are phrases and abbreviations that we hurriedly jot down while trying to follow a lecture. Later, when we go back to review our notes, there are times when we can't seem to understand or remember what those key words and phrases meant; sometimes we can't even read our own handwriting. Here is a note-taking study tip that has proven to be effective. After you have finished class, immediately rush to the nearest computer lab and retype your notes. You need to rewrite those phrases as complete thoughts and sentences; dot your I's, cross your T's and use "cut and paste" to put your notes into some type of a logical sequence. While retyping your notes you are using several modalities: you review as you read your notes aloud, you use your hand to type, and you reread again as you proof read what you have typed. Research indicates that 80% of new material can be recalled if you review notes within the first 24 hours of presentation. Also, clean typed notes are easier to read and highlight as you study. If you retype your notes daily, you will keep the task from becoming overwhelming, you will learn good study habits that aid in memory retention and, at the same time, improve your grades.
Attend Class
The most important advice I can give to you is to make sure you attend your classes. Attendance in class enhances the chance you'll get a passing grade in a course. In addition to attending class, it is important to brush up on your note-taking skills to really achieve optimum success. Some general recommendations for improving note-taking skills are to:
Read all textbook material relevant to the topic being covered prior to attending class.
Make sure you take notes in class. If you fail to take notes, much of what you learn from the lecture will be forgotten in a few days. If you have something written down on paper, you can always refer to the material later.
Ask professors who lecture too fast if you can tape record their lecture. You'll generally find that many professors are willing to assist you in your efforts to gain as much from their lecture as possible.
By attending class and utilizing the note-taking techniques just described, your chances for success in college will increase significantly.
Prepare for the lecture
The greatest advantage is that
you are familiar with the subject
you know what to ask
you are not going to waste time by writing down stuff that is already there in your study material. Rather, you know what to write, where to pick links and to clear your concepts.
By the time the lecture is over, you are in a much clearer state of mind. This way, taking down notes becomes more meaningful and worth the time you spent doing it.
Use Colors
This may take a little bit longer but it will work. Just give it a chance. When you are taking notes change the color of your pen! Don't write in blue or black ink. Writing in color will help you retain 50% - 80% more of the infomation without reading it a second time (also highlight in purple). I am a teacher of adult education and this is the rule for my class room.

The 2-6 Method: The 2-6 refers to the way you divide the space on your notepaper. Make two columns, using the red line on the left of the page as your border. Then, when you take notes in class, use the 6 column for the notes and the smaller 2 column on the left as a highlighting system. Write main headings and important points on the left, including material you think you will be tested on. When you're finished, you should have a comprehensive page of information that you can quickly scan for important points. Studying is 99% perspiration; if you give it a real, concentrated effort over the course of a semester you will see an improvement. Your academic success is entirely up to you.
Split Page Method
Class lectures and your textbook--they're the primary sources of course content and you need to learn both. So combine them with the split page method of taking notes. Just divide your notebook page in half lengthwise. Draw a line down the middle of the page. Take class notes on one side of the page and outline the text on the other side. When you study you'll have both. Class notes and text together, integrated. Some students find it helpful to add a third column for questions they need to ask the professor.
Using Group Notes
Are you tired of struggling to keep up with a lecture while copying page after page of notes in class? My advice? Don't take the notes -- at least not every day. Instead, form a group with some of your classmates and take turns taking good class notes. When it's not your day to be the note-taker, really concentrate on what is being said in class. You might want to jot down a few particularly important points, but mostly try to participate in class. Ask questions when you can't understand the point your teacher is trying to get across, and score points by answering questions your teacher asks. After class you can either photocopy the notes from your classmate, or better yet, copy them over by hand while reviewing in your mind what happened in class.
Secrets to Taking Better Notes
As a writer for Edinboro University and its Alumni News magazine, I spend a lot of time interviewing people. A key interviewing skill is taking good notes--a skill that is just as valuable in the classroom. There is no magic to taking good notes, just common sense. It's simply a matter of being thorough and accurate. Now, not many people can write fast enough to capture everything their professor says in class, so it is a good idea to also use a tape recorder. That way you won't miss something while you write, and you can double-check the tape for accuracy. Whether you use a recorder or not, it's important to transcribe your notes as soon as possible while the subject is still fresh in your mind. By re-writing or re-typing your notes, you become more familiar with the material. You mentally reinforce what was said in class. And you get practice writing the information, making it easier to write the material a second time whether it be for a test or a term paper.
Noteworthy Notes
Are your grades as good as you want them to be? Are your notes worth reviewing? Notes are phrases and abbreviations that we hurriedly jot down while trying to follow a lecture. Later, when we go back to review our notes, there are times when we can't seem to understand or remember what those key words and phrases meant; sometimes we can't even read our own handwriting. Here is a note-taking study tip that has proven to be effective. After you have finished class, immediately rush to the nearest computer lab and retype your notes. You need to rewrite those phrases as complete thoughts and sentences; dot your I's, cross your T's and use "cut and paste" to put your notes into some type of a logical sequence. While retyping your notes you are using several modalities: you review as you read your notes aloud, you use your hand to type, and you reread again as you proof read what you have typed. Research indicates that 80% of new material can be recalled if you review notes within the first 24 hours of presentation. Also, clean typed notes are easier to read and highlight as you study. If you retype your notes daily, you will keep the task from becoming overwhelming, you will learn good study habits that aid in memory retention and, at the same time, improve your grades.
Attend Class
The most important advice I can give to you is to make sure you attend your classes. Attendance in class enhances the chance you'll get a passing grade in a course. In addition to attending class, it is important to brush up on your note-taking skills to really achieve optimum success. Some general recommendations for improving note-taking skills are to:
Read all textbook material relevant to the topic being covered prior to attending class.
Make sure you take notes in class. If you fail to take notes, much of what you learn from the lecture will be forgotten in a few days. If you have something written down on paper, you can always refer to the material later.
Ask professors who lecture too fast if you can tape record their lecture. You'll generally find that many professors are willing to assist you in your efforts to gain as much from their lecture as possible.
By attending class and utilizing the note-taking techniques just described, your chances for success in college will increase significantly.
Prepare for the lecture
The greatest advantage is that
you are familiar with the subject
you know what to ask
you are not going to waste time by writing down stuff that is already there in your study material. Rather, you know what to write, where to pick links and to clear your concepts.
By the time the lecture is over, you are in a much clearer state of mind. This way, taking down notes becomes more meaningful and worth the time you spent doing it.
Use Colors
This may take a little bit longer but it will work. Just give it a chance. When you are taking notes change the color of your pen! Don't write in blue or black ink. Writing in color will help you retain 50% - 80% more of the infomation without reading it a second time (also highlight in purple). I am a teacher of adult education and this is the rule for my class room.
FEW ESSENTIAL TIPS & TRICKS FOR STUDYING
Your academic efforts will yield greater benefits if you dedicate regular time to your course work. The material presented in your online classes is only valuable if you are able to remember and recall what you have been taught. Below are some tips for helping you take away more from your studies.
1. Limit the amount of time you spend reading for your online class. This is important for medical as well as academic reasons. If you spend a good deal of time reading text from a monitor or book, take a break after thirty minutes. Reading for extended periods of time can lead to eye-strain. Your reading comprehension decreases without giving your mind downtime to process the information you have been reading. Budget your time wisely and give yourself a break.
2. Find out when you are most alert during the day. Some folks are early birds, others are night owls. Whichever your preference, avoid studying during a time when you will be drowsy and ineffective. If you find yourself yawning more than twice in fifteen minutes, then you should probably reschedule your study period.
3. Take notes as you progress through your work. Does this method slow down the pace that you are reading? Yes. Does this method help you learn the material and be able to reference it quickly afterwards? Absolutely. Take notes and summarize what you have read to help you remember.
4. Refer to the syllabus and schedule your studying by it. If you are assigned to read only chapters one through three, then only read those chapters. By giving in to the temptation of jumping around, you are doing yourself a disservice by wasting time and getting off track.
5. Keep your television turned off. Americans love their TVs, but remember your goals. Your favorite sitcom will not help you get a promotion or rise in salary.
6. Let your callers leave a message. Avoid concentrating on the ringing from your cell phone and landline. Stay on task and let the answering machine do the work.
7. Focus on one course at a time. Assuming you are enrolled in more than one course, studying more than one subject will become confusing and inefficient. If you have reached a dead-end in an assignment, then it may be a good time to give a break. Otherwise, you are better off plugging along on the same course work.
8. Identify what you can skim and scan. Not all textbooks chapters provide you with valuable information. Know when it is safe to scan the headings, captions, and summaries, but also identifying when you’ve reached material that should be followed word for word.
9. Stand up and stretch every hour. It is important to keep your blood circulating to keep your energy level up for studying. Napping creates a potentially dangerous situation, as you may not be able to stay awake afterwards. Stretching will help relieve any aches or pains associated with sitting for an extended period of time.
10. Wear comfortable clothing for studying. Pajamas may not be the best option, as you may feel comfortable enough to become drowsy or fall asleep. Loose, comfortable clothing will aid in proper circulation as you progress through your assignments.

FEW MORE TIPS REGARDING STUDY
Studying can seem pointless and boring, but you've got your future to think about. So you are hereby invited to check out these tips on how to study properly with minimum personal agony and maximum time for fun.
Tip #1:
Study a little bit almost every day for a week or so before a test, not for five miserable, Dorito-fueled hours the night before.
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. How do you study for a hard test -- or any test? A little bit at a time. One of the worst study habits is waiting until the last minute and then staying up late studying the night before. Ugh! That's just signing up for misery, disgust, Dorito poisoning and a crappy grade that doesn't even reflect what your brain can do!
Here's a better way: chopping up your study time and spreading it out. Think about the material that you need to cover, and think about how you can spend time covering it.
Hmmm, when do I have time to study? I've got dance class on Thursdays, so I'll skip studying that day. I could study a little on Friday, but I also want to hang out with my friends that night. That leaves me Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and a little bit of Friday to study.
What chapters am I being tested on? Biology chapters three through six, on cells and genetics. To be ready for the test, I better look at the questions at the end of each chapter, and know how to label a diagram of cell structure.
So here's our plan. This Friday, look at the cell diagram and memorize how to label it. That'll be pretty easy, and if you start studying right after school, you'll be done in plenty of time to hang out with your friends. (Studying, ya know, is not about being miserable. Studying is actually about being successful, and part of success is having fun.) Next week, review one set of chapter questions a day, except on Thursday. On Thursday go to dance class and totally blow off the DNA for a little bit. Then spend a little time on Monday reviewing any chapter questions that you didn't quite get last week. If you're really stuck, ask a friend for help.
How do you think you'll feel the night before the test, knowing you had time to study everything? You feel prepared, not scared. And it's a good feeling!
Studying isn't always fun, but it doesn't have to be miserable, either. Studying for a little bit every day for a few days is way better than spending the night before a test cramming and freaking out. So break up your studying into manageable pieces that let you have time to get everything done -- including having all the fun you need to stay happy!
Tip 2:
Do your hardest homework more than once.
Don't look at me like I just said I like to eat puppies with horseradish sauce. Listen to what I did say: Do your hardest homework more than once. If you have a homework problem that blows your mind, work it until you get it right. But don't stop there. Even once you think you get it, do it one more time so you really know what you're doing. You don't want to just think you've got it; you want to really get it.
Do hard problems once for understanding, and the second time for totally showing them who's boss. Then do 'em a third time. Kidding! Back down from the books already and go take a kung fu class something. Twice is enough.
Tip 3:
Always remember the obvious -- and the chocolate.
Last of all, remember the most obvious good advice: The night before a test, get to sleep at a halfway decent hour, wake up on time, and eat a healthy breakfast. We both know that an unfed sleepyhead is not in ideal condition to wrap around a hard geometry problem. And right before the test, jazz up your brain with a little chocolate if you can. Really! Studies show that a little sugar rush can improve your test score? So eat that candy bar. You studied hard, and you earned it.

TIPS & TRICKS:FOR STUDENT SUCCESS
If you have never sat an electronically delivered test, here are a few tips and tricks that you can employ to increase your chances of passing it.
•Don't leave it till the last minute to begin your studies! Allow at least 3 weeks, even if you are fairly proficient in using the application
•Set aside a study area and a regular study period. Allow yourself between an hour and two hours a day of concentrated study
•Do as much work in the application as possible while leading up to the exam. Invent some projects if you do not have any on the go
•The questions in the Examaids can become very familiar if you study regularly but if you imbibe the extended answers and the knowledge in the reference pages, you will be better prepared for any surprises on the day
•Always read the questions and the multiple-choice answers very carefully. When the clock starts to count down during the official test, it's very easy to miss a negative, such as "What should you not do when...," or misconstrue a meaning. So, get into the habit of always reading every single word, and carefully, at the study stage
•If a question doesn't make sense, read it several times and make a note of the answer that first pops into your head, and any associated words, phrases, or terms. Come back to the question later in the session and see if your subconscious mind has found the right answer or found clues that can lead you to the right answer. Look at your notes and see if they can jog your memory or confirm what your subconscious mind has unearthed
•Try and rephrase a question. If you can do it, you will increase your chances of answering it correctly
•If you select a wrong answer, ask yourself why you chose it. It's usually an indicator of incomplete knowledge or misunderstanding and sometimes can be more helpful than answering a question correctly
•If an answer jumps up at you, don't be in a hurry to accept it. If your knowledge is incomplete, you are more likely to fall into the trap that the writer has set for you! They know you may choose an item from the View menu when you should be choosing it from the Window menu, or vice versa. Exam writers have devious minds and are often recruited from the dregs of society!
•If you are in any way unsure of the answer, narrow down your choices by dismissing the ones that you know to be untrue or likely to be untrue
•Try not to guess the answers while studying. Save that as a last resort on the day of the official exam
•The evening before the official exam, try and relax. Don't entertain thoughts of failure but at the same time don't become overconfident. Find a middle path and don't let yourself be overwhelmed by how much is riding on it. Keep the exam in perspective. If you let it overwhelm you, you can be sure you will fail
•On the morning of the exam, use the mock exams in the Examaid to limber up. Take the printed material provided with the Examaid to the test centre and use it to refresh your memory and to get into a mindset for answering the questions
•If you have a laptop, take it with you; arrive an hour early at the test centre and take the mock exams before entering the cubicle. This will also get you into the right frame of mind
Before you enter the test centre, devise a strategy and stick to it. If you don’t already have one, try the following:
•Work your way to the end of the exam by answering the questions you are 100% confidant you can answer correctly
•If you are unsure about an answer, flag the question
•If you are sure you don’t know the answer, skip the question
•Having got to the end of the exam, go back to the flagged questions and answer the ones you are only 75% sure of answering correctly
•Go back to the remaining flagged questions and answer the ones you are only 50% sure of answering correctly
•Go to the skipped questions and take a wild guess at the answers
•Whatever you do, don't leave any question unanswered. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by attempting to answer all the questions
•Aim to have 10-15 minutes at the end of your allotted time to double-check your answers
•Keep your eye on the clock. Divide the number of allocated minutes by the number of questions to get an idea of how long you should take to answer each question. For example, if the official test lasts 90 minutes and has 75 questions, it means you have 1 minute and 20 seconds to answer each question. If you want 10-15 minutes at the end of the session to double-check your answers, you will have to shave 10-12 seconds off each question
