How to Study For Exams
Taking exams is stressful, but you can make it easier by improving the way you study. Studying for your exams will keep you from feeling unprepared, and it will set you up for success!
This is easier said than done, but learning how to take good notes will help you once it comes time to study. Write down everything your teacher writes on the board or puts up in slides. Try to record as much of what the teacher says as possible.
Studying in a dark room is not recommended(推荐). Add lamps at night, or in the daytime,
open the window coverings (open the window a little, too). People tend to study and focus better in a brighter room with little noise.
Ask yourself: What is my teacher most likely to ask on the exam? What materials should I focus on to give myself the best chance of knowing what I need to know? This may help you focus on the most important information, rather than getting stuck on things that might not matter as much.
You need some time to have fun and it is better to study when you are feeling relaxed than to exhaust(筋疲力尽) yourself studying all day! Carefully structure your break and study time. Usually, 20-30 minutes of study and then a 5-minute break is the most effective method.
If you don't know the answer to the question, do the next one and come back to it at the end. Struggling and concentrating on a question you don't know the answer to can be time consuming(消耗), which makes you lose valuable marks.
