Test #3 - CANVAS REVIEW

Test Preparation Tips!

The following strategies have helped many people improve test scores and prepare more effectively for tests:

• It is best to begin preparing long before the day of a test. Make it a habit to reread your reading assignments and frequently review your notes and classwork.

• Make time for studying. Since homework and other activities can occupy your time, be sure to set time aside to adequately prepare for tests.

• Watch for clues the teacher might provide about possible test questions. It is also advisable to participate at test review sessions and ask questions about unclear concepts. Never be ashamed to ask questions.

• Get any review materials from your teacher that shows what subjects or topics you will be tested on during the exam, like the review sheet you have been provided here! :) 

• Getting plenty of rest and exercising regularly will enhance your ability to perform well on a test. Eat a nutritious meal prior to taking a test to be alert and focused.
• It is unwise to stay up all night studying prior to a test. Get plenty of sleep the night before a test. Although spending extra time preparing seems like it will improve your score, you never want to show up to a test tired.

• Prepare an outline/study sheet of the main topics and concepts that will be covered during an exam, then use it frequently in the days before the test to review. This will help you memorize key facts and other information you will be tested on.

• Be sure to use the bathroom before the test begins. If you must visit the restroom during the test, it can waste time and it can also be extremely uncomfortable and distract your concentration!
