General test preparation

To do well on tests you must first learn the material,
and then review it before the test.
These are techniques to better understand your material:

Learning

• Take good notes in your class lectures and textbooks
  See the Guides on Taking notes in Lectures
  (and Taking notes from a textbook!)
• Review your notes soon after class/lecture
• Review notes briefly before the next class
• Schedule some time at the end of the week for a longer review

Reviewing

• Take good notes
  about as your teacher tells you what will be on the test
• Organize your notes, texts, and assignments
  according to what will be on the test
• Estimate the hours you'll need to review materials
• Draw up a schedule
  that blocks units of time and material
• Test yourself on the material
• Finish your studying the day before the exam
