How to prepare for final tests and exams

Study smart! This means it is not HOW MUCH time you spend studying, it is about the QUALITY of what you do during that time. Here are some tips to help you to make the best out of the time you study.

  1. Find a quiet and comfortable place to study that is free from distractions. Silence notifications on your phone.
  2. Set a time to study and COMMIT to it. Stop making excuses!
  3. Know your learning style and adjust how you study accordingly. There are visual learners who learn by seeing, others are auditory learners who learn by hearing and kinesthetic people learn by doing! Visual learners learn from reading and pictures. Flashcards, charts, and diagrams and colourful study notes are helpful to this type of learner. Auditory learners learn from lectures and discussions in study groups. Kinesthetic learners learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process. They like to move around as they study and may want to use a white board to write and erase as they study. Most people like to incorporate a variety of methods when they study.
  4. Organize your study time and block it off in your calendar. Make sure you have all the materials you need before you begin studying.
  5. Know what to study- make sure you reach out to your instructor if you are unsure of the materials being covered. Check Brightspace and the Teaching and Learning Plan.
  6. Make sure you understand the concepts first before you memorize them. One way to know if you understand a concept is to be able to explain it in your own words.
  7. When you are ready to memorize terms, facts, formulas, and list, use flashcards.
  8. Study the harder materials first when the ideas are fresher.
  9. The night before an exam or big test, it is important to get plenty of rest.
  10. Before you start answering any test questions, quickly scan over the entire test and develop a plan. Decide how much time you will spend on each section to ensure you complete the entire test.
  11. Complete the questions you know first and mark the questions you need to return to. Do not waste time on questions you are unsure of. Keep moving through the test and go back once the other questions are completed. If you are not sure of an answer, go with your first instinct if answering a multiple-choice question. Do not panic if you do not know an answer!
