Is there a better way to study for High School Midterms?

Question

It's half way through the school year which means, MIDTERM TESTS! I am the WORST at studying....any tips or personal ideas?

Answer 1

Make sure you study every night and that you have a good grasp on everything that is being taught. If you do this, you'll find that you won't need to spend hours cramming because you'll already know everything. I never did really big study sessions. I studied everything we did that day at night and when it came time for tests, I would do a chapter review and leave it at that.

Answer 2

Do NOT wait until the night before. I have tried almost every studying method. This is what works for me... Although entertaining, listening to music and being online is NOT productive. Turn off all the music and go somewhere like a library where no one can distract you. Studying with a SERIOUS group of classmates, not friends who just want to gossip, works well also. If you don't understand something they can clarify and you can also quiz each other. I'm a flashcard person. If you're having to learn a lot of vocab make flashcards. Although time consuming, it helps refresh your memory. Don't cram. Your mind will only remember so much. I have a bad habit of getting tired of studying and going to sleep with all intentions of waking up early to study. That doesn't work. Just start studying early so you can do a quick review the night before and get plenty of sleep. Hope this helps and good luck!

I make note cards for myself and i summarize all my notes. Writing down the information really helps to get it into my brain. Also making up acronyms (i think thats what they're called) is useful for memorization/

Keeping up with your course throughout the term is the easiest way.That way, you only have to review the material,not try to learn it all at one time.
