3 How Much Time Will I Need?

4 Answer the following questions:  What is my schedule like during the week of the exam?  Do I have other exams or papers due that week?  How much material is there to cover?  Do I need to work with a tutor to better understand the material?

5 GET TO WORK!  Make and keep a study schedule.  Study in a suitable place free from distractions.  Organize all of your material before starting.

6 DON’T WAIT FOR INSPIRATION TO STRIKE… IT PROBABLY WON’T! DAILY PREPARATION IS KEY!

7 STAY OFF FACEBOOK!!

8 BEFORE AND AFTER CLASS  Every day before class, preview the material for minutes  Spend minutes after class going over notes  Use this time to get any confusing points cleared up; much better now than later  Once a week, review the material to get a complete overview of the information

9 ESCAPE TO THE CAPE Kupfrian 200

10 FREE TUTORING STARTS THE FIRST WEEK OF CLASS Attend group tutoring sessions Drop in and work with a tutor No appointment needed Schedule a one-on-one session with a tutor Don’t wait until the last minute!!

11 PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE!  Practice does not make perfect…perfect practice makes perfect!  Work with students who know the material and solve the problems correctly  Attend review sessions

12 CRAMMING DOES NOT WORK!  Your anxiety level increases  You will lose sleep and eat poorly  You may get sick  You may oversleep and miss the exam

13 CRAMMING DOES NOT WORK!  Your short term memory will overload and you will forget what you learned  When tired and hungry, you will not perform at a maximum level

14 The Professor  Pay attention to hints the instructor may give about the test  Ask the teacher to specify areas which will be emphasized on the test  Ask! Ask! Ask!

15 TEACH ANOTHER STUDENT  If you can teach the material to another student, then you really know it.  Have tutors and classmates ask you to explain the subject.

16 YOU CAN DO IT!! HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR ABILITY
