If you have a good trick on studying for tests can you help me/?

Question

I need to study for a story that we read in class, but I am not sure how to do it.

Answer 1

Get on Word and type yourself a study sheet, it helps, then from there use your study sheet to study, you are already familiar with the material since you just typed it.

Answer 2

Break it up into parts. It is easier to study something if you arent studying the whole thing all at once, that can be overwhelming. Studying with a friend always helps too. Just make sure you stay on task, and save the fun stuff for after studying.

Answer 3

What I used to do is get a could of highliters (Yellow and green) and go through the book first marking important parts. Then I would go through it again and mark the REALLY important phrases, words, themes out of what I marked the first time, with the other color.

Then when studying I just concentrated on these areas...marked in Yellow and Yellow+Green. I ignored the rest. This made it less overwhelming. If I happened to miss something in my mark-ups, oh well...I had these parts down cold.

I never did worse then a B by doing this.

Good Luck

Answer 4

You could always do what I do, since its a story you could organize a stude group with your friends and discuss about the story.

Or you could search for a study guide on yahoo. Search for (book) study guide.

Answer 5

For shorter stories I would get post it notes and for each page write a summery. For longer ones each chapter a paragraph or two. It worked for me. Good luck.

Answer 6

for a story, create a notes sheet in which you list the following:

title
author
characters: protagonist and antagonist
setting
plot - summary of what happened
conflicts - what were they and how were they resolved
climax
theme

when you can answer all of these easily, you're ready!

Answer 7

turn the story into people you know! and relate it too real life.
