Tips for Success
- Remember that the SPACING EFFECT is your friend. Plan to do a manageable chunk of reviewing each night from now until your test. Maybe a unit or two each day?
- The TESTING EFFECT (or "retrieval practice") is probably your best friend. Resist the urge to just "look over" your notes. Instead, practice retrieving information from memory. You've got a couple of GREAT tools to help you with that:
- You received a Study Guide packet of practice multiple choice questions. Treat that like a test and see how you do.
- Challenge yourself to write or say a definition AND example of vocab words. You can use the Quizlet flashcards below OR the "Magical List"
- BE SYSTEMATIC. Make checklists (or use some of the tools below) to make sure you don't miss any "big" ideas.
