Do you need advice on how to prepare for tests?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>How to Become a Straight-A Student<\/em>, Cal Newport presents a step-by-step system for ensuring you get the best grades possible on any exam. Plus, he gives tips on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-take-tests\/\">how to take tests<\/a> efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continue reading for tips on studying for tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Prepare for Exams<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Newport, the first step in learning how to prepare for tests is to <strong>collect your study materials for your exam.<\/strong> For a humanities course, first collect all the relevant notes and divide them into sections by subject. Then, create a practice quiz for each section using the questions in your notes, ensuring that each quiz covers all the relevant material. For a STEM course, collect all the relevant problem sets, plus one sheet of paper per problem set with the sample problems from the relevant lecture. You should also create questions that ask you to explain the fundamentals of any major topic addressed by the problem set.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Other academic experts recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/olemiss.edu\/programs\/biobootcamp\/GuidebookSTEM%20Learning%20Student.pdf\">creating a study guide based both on your lecture notes <em>and<\/em> your textbook<\/a>. This technique is designed for STEM classes but can also be used for humanities classes that rely on a single textbook. To practice it, first review the table of contents of your textbook. Then, write down every heading from every section that you\u2019ll be tested on. Finally, summarize the content of every section (using both the text and all relevant notes) to create your guide.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second step is to <strong>review your study materials<\/strong>. These review days should be spaced out and begin at least a day <em>after<\/em> you collect your study materials to avoid fatiguing your brain. Newport specifically recommends that you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-test-yourself\/\">test yourself<\/a> in rounds. First, answer every question in your study guide. Write down or speak these answers aloud. If you struggle, write a checkmark next to the problem. Once you\u2019ve finished the first round, take a break\u2014then review only the problems you wrote a checkmark next to. Keep repeating this until you stop adding checkmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third, you must <strong>gain a baseline understanding of anything you\u2019re still confused about. <\/strong>As Newport notes, during your collection and review process, you\u2019ll likely come across concepts you never quite mastered. This can be dangerous: For example, if a concept you\u2019re unclear on is the basis of a problem worth 50% of your exam, you\u2019ll tank your grade. Therefore, clear up confusion quickly <em>before<\/em> the exam by talking to your professors and classmates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: If you\u2019re <em>still<\/em> lost regarding a particular concept after speaking with your professors and classmates, consider looking it up on the internet. Wikipedia is a good starting point; you should also consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uopeople.edu\/blog\/best-educational-youtube-channels-for-college-students\/\">educational YouTube channels<\/a> that can both help you understand concepts you\u2019re unclear on <em>and<\/em> refine your understanding of ones with which you&nbsp; are familiar.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-take-tests\"><strong>How to Take Tests<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After you&#8217;ve prepared for your test, you\u2019re now ready to follow Newport\u2019s strategies for <strong>taking the test efficiently<\/strong> and acing the exam. Once you receive the exam, first read all the questions to gain an idea of what the exam will be like. Then, subtract 10 minutes from the total exam time and divide the remainder by the number of questions to determine how long you should spend on each question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, start answering questions from easiest to hardest to ensure you get the points for the answers you <em>definitely <\/em>know before struggling with questions you\u2019re not sure about. Keep an eye on the clock as you do so, moving on if you\u2019re spending too much time on a particular question. Finally, once you finish, take any time remaining to review and polish your answers so you can turn in the best possible version of your exam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you have a big exam coming up?
