How to test best
It's back to school, which means it's back to tests, which might also means it's back to being majorly stressed out. Here are some simple ways to prepare thoroughly for tests.
Schedule study time.
Trying to do all studying the night before a test makes it impossible to master all the materials. Instead, prepare for a test by scheduling study time each day for several days before.
Use your time wisely.
Also, make sure you have all the supplies (用具) you need to study so you don't lose focus. While studying, be sure to make regular short breaks. Get a snack, take a bathroom break or play a quick computer game when it feels as if your brain is about to explode.
Studying with a parent or friends can help you understand the material better and to learn from one another. Have every person or pair take a part of the material, and come up with questions to quiz the group. Keep the group small. Have everyone take turns as the group leader, who will assign the material, and make sure that conversation stays on what is being studied.
Don't forget last-minute preparation.
Have your sharpened pencils and other things in your bag ready the night before the test. It's important to get a good night's sleep and then eat a healthy breakfast the next morning. Also, studying all the way up until test time can only create more anxiety. Stop studying an hour beforehand.
A. Form a study group.
B. Stay cool before the test.
C. It doesn't have to be this way.
D. This will help you store important information.
E. This way, both your mind and body are fully prepared.
F. Before studying, clear your desk so you can concentrate.
G. It will also make you tired and stressed on the day of the test.
