Strategies and tips for doing well on exams and reducing test-taking stress

 1.  Study Smart
         *Start now, start today
          *Find a good place to study
         *Know your learning style

2.  Organize and manage your study time well 

           Failing to plan is planning to fail

       * Prioritize you work
       *If something seems too big, break it down
        *If you have something to memorize, work on
          it first, and then review it again at the end of
          the study session
         *Study your least favorite subject first to get it
           out of the way
         *Alternate assignments (read for English,
           work math problems, then science)
         *Take small breaks for every 30 to 40
           minutes of studying

3.      Start test day on the right foot
 *Get a great nights sleep. Do not stay up all
    night cramming-It will not do any good!
  *Eat a good breakfast (eggs, whole grains,
    fruits, and yogurt)
 *Come to school on time or even a little early

4.   Test taking strategies
              *Read over all the instructions first
              *Be sure you understand all the questions first
               before you answer
              *Do easier questions first
              *Answer multiple choice questions in your head
                first, then pick the answer that matches
              *For essay or short-answer questions think,
                organize and brainstorm before you write
             *Review your work and check over your answers
               before handing in your paper

5.  Reducing test anxiety
            *You are prepared-so relax!
            *Take deep breaths
             *Picture yourself taking the test and doing well

 6.  Believe in yourself-You can do it!
            * A positive attitude makes all the difference!
