Testing Tips!
Smart test takers begin reviewing early!
1. Look over your notes and worksheets
2. Review your previous tests and quizzes and especially focus on making sure you've re-learned anything you may have missed the first time
3. Use strategies that fit your learning style
4. Review a little each day - this keeps the information fresh in your mind and you don't get stressed from trying to cram it all in your brain last minute
