How To Prepare For An Exam

How to Prepare for an Exam

Throughout the semester:

Complete all of the course’s assignments

Study at least two hours per credit hour each week, if at all possible

Take good notes in class and review within 24 hours of taking them

Go to study meetings and tutoring, if needed

Use study habits that fit your learning style (visual, auditory, tactile)

Before the exam

Find out about the exam

What will be the format of the test? Try to study in the same format. If the test is going to be short answer, study in short answer format.

What material will be covered? No need to study something you won’t be tested on.

How much time will you have? If the test is timed, you’ll need to work speed when you study.

How much is it worth towards your final grade? You don’t want to find out on test day that the test is worth a large portion of your final grade and you didn’t study

Use notes and study materials created throughout the semester to study

Carry your study materials wherever you go so you can study if you have free time.

Try not to cram if at all possible

Eat healthy, drink water, exercise, and get plenty of rest the night before. Sleeping is scientifically proven to help you remember what you’ve learned. Your hippocampus works while you’re asleep to consolidate the information into memories so that you can recall the information later.

Exam day

Eat a healthy breakfast and do some light stretching or yoga

Arrive to the exam early

Take deep breaths

Read the directions, questions, and answers carefully

Jot down important information such as formulas as soon as you get the test so you won’t panic and forget them later

Answer questions with an educated guess. If you’re not sure, try to narrow it down to what you know can’t be the answer.

After the exam

Reward yourself

When you get the exam back, try to understand what you missed and why. Meet with your professor if you’re not sure

Analyze how you prepared for the test. What worked? How could you better prepare for the next test?

Again, I don’t take credit for everything in this post. Most of these tips come from a handout I picked up from my academic adviser with a few extra tips and tweaks from me.

JUST ANOTHER PSA FOR YALL SO LISTEN UP

So they just released the announcement that they are auditioning for the new be more chill cast. I am as hype as anyone else for this musical being brought back to life but the thing that ruins the hype immediately is that people are ALREADY hating the new actors (which haven’t even been chosen yet) cause they wont be the same as the og cast.

We all love the original bmc cast. Will is amazing, George is amazing. Katie, Gerard, Jake, etc. all of the original cast was so amazing but that doesn’t mean the new cast cant be just as good. The new cast hasn’t even been chosen and I’ve already seen people saying things like “no matter who they cast as Michael they are nothing compared to George” or “the new cast is gonna suck compared to the original” and its sick.

We need to treat the new cast with the same love and respect as we do with the original cast. Ofc the new cast aren’t going to be exact copies of the original actors, but the new actors are being chosen for a reason. The new cast is being chosen because the directors think they are going to do something special with the character and bring the same passion to the role as the previous actor did. It makes me sad to see so many people already hating on people we don’t even know about yet because they aren’t going to be exact copies of the original cast

The new be more chill is going to be amazing, and the whole new cast and crew are going to do everything to make it the best show ever for their audience. We need to treat the new cast with respect instead of hating them for not being exactly like the original. The new cast might not be exactly the same as before, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t good and that they don’t deserve respect.

Bottom line: when the cast for be more chill is released please treat them with respect because they are going to do everything they can to give you the best show ever
