@MT HS
Studying & Test-Taking
Strategies
@MT HS
Ask your teacher about the test format, then quiz yourself in the same way. Is it:a. Multiple choice?b. Short answer? c. Essay? d. Fill in the blank?e. Speech/presentation?f. All of the above?
Allowed: open book? open note? notecard?
@MT HS
Use backwards planning…• When is the test?• What content will I need to
study?• How long will that take?• When will I do it?
@MT HS
Study in the same location…• It’s the place you’ve personalized• You have materials (highlighters,
pens)• You know it will be available• You have adjusted to the
distractions
@MT HS
Use non-linear note-taking to get a deeper understanding of the material: Examples: Mapping Cornell Notes
@MT HS
Use color-coding and clumping…• Colors are relatively easier to
remember, likely because they create categories and use different parts of the brain.
• Clumping things into sections or groups are easier to remember because remembering the group helps you remember what’s in the group
@MT HS
Know and use your own learning style
@MT HS
Sleep well the night before the test and eat well the day of the test. Make sure your brain is not too tired to remember.
