Cramming should be avoided at all costs

You should only cram for a test at the last result

It is very difficult to take in and retain a large amount of information in a short time

Eat some food in order to give you energy

Try not to eat food that has excess sugar

An apple keeps you awake better than caffeine

Find a well lit place with no distractions around to study but don’t get too comfortable

Keep a positive attitude because it is hard to study when you become stressed out

You have to pick what you are going to study because you can’t study everything

Focus on the things that may be worth the most points

Focus on the main ideas and learn key formulas

Skip the details and only come back to them if you have time

Write down key terms and formulas on a separate sheet of paper and keep reviewing them

Highlight the important points in your notes

Read the chapter summaries Skim through the text and write down key

points Study from past tests, review questions,

homework and review sheets Take a five minute break an hour so that

you can gather your thoughts and let your brain relax

If time permits, try to get a least three hours of sleep before the exam so that you don’t fall asleep during the exam

Don’t forget to set two alarms
