YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARD LEARNING

It is a material that can influence how well you’ll attend to it,organize it,and store it.If you are trying to prepare for an exam,it’s important that you feel interested in the material and motivated to learn and remember.Establishing a purpose for studying,seeing the relevance of the course and using active learning strategies can all help increase your motivation.If you think studying won’t help,you won’t be very motivated to study.

MONITORING YOUR LEARNINGMonitoring your learning also can be an effective motivational device.If you test your learning by covering the material and trying to recite the information,you’ll be able to evaluate your storage and retrieval processes.You also can accomplish this by reciting from the headings in your notes,taking self-tests,reproducing mapes or charts, and so on.One advantage of reciting is that is allows you to test your memory.If you’re able to remember the information that you’re reviewing,you feel good and you know you’re learning.Successful recitations motivate you to continue to study and to continue to use that learning strategy because it worked.Changing to a different learning strategy or increasing you’re study time may be necessary to store the information you couldn’t recall from memory.When you know that you know the important information a the test,you develope more confidence in your self as a student,and this can effect your performance on the exam.

THE FIVE-DAY STUDY PLAN

This plan helps you select,organize, and schedule your exam preparation tasks.The five-day study plan includes many affective and motivational strategies you’ll know each day exactly what you need to accomplish and can check off you’re complition of each task.This plan also incorporates active learning strategies that make studying effective and interesting and provides you with numerous opportunities to monitor your learning.

YOUR STATE OF MIND DURING THE EXAM

This affects how well you’re able to retrieve the information.If you experience test anxiety,you may not be able to concentrate on the exam questions.You may find that you’re so upset that you can’t think of the answers.Knowing you are well prepared for an exam reduces and,in some cases,eleminates feeling of test anxiety.Not knowing the material well enough or not being sure that you know the material well enough can actually lead to more test anxiety.Spacing your study time,using active learning strategies,and practicing retrieval all help you prepare well for the exam.If you begin the exam with a positive attitude about you’re preparation and expect to do well,you can increase you’re probability for success.
