Study Notes
General Study Guide
- Review reading notes, textbook content, homework, presentations, and class/video notes. Many exam questions will be similar to previous assessments.
- Focus on key terms and concepts to reinforce understanding. Analyze recent materials, which often represent a larger portion of the exam.
- Create flashcards or online quizzes to summarize information in your own words, rather than memorizing terms you don't understand. Ask clarifying questions such as what does the term mean, how did it fit within the time period, or why was it important.
- Collaborate with classmates for mutual review of key terms, using mnemonic devices or songs if they aid memory enhancement.
- Allocate sufficient study time commensurate to performance on previous assessments as well as your required grade for the exam. Consider refreshing older material to fully prepare.
