The best way to study for a test is...

• Spend a few solid hours of non-stop studying the night before a test

• Do your reading and homework on time and review your notes for a few minutes every day

• Highlight any question that you have on any of your work or notes so that you remember to ask them in class

• Both B and C

Preparing a study guide...

• Should be based only on what the teacher tells you about the test

• Is automatically done for you when you use the questioning technique for taking notes and reading (writing a question on the left of your notes and the answer on the right)

• Means spending many hours, the night before the test, rewriting all of your notes

• Only needs to be done for big tests such as final exams

When your teachers gives you a study guide, you should:

• Ignore it because you have already made your own study guide from your notes

• Use it to help you decipher what to focus on the night or two before the test

• Toss your notes and textbook aside; the study guide is all you need

• Stop paying attention in class. The study guide has all the answers you will need for the test.

The night before a test, you should:

• look over your work for a minute. You don't need to spend any more time on it because you've taken notes and done your homework.

• Spend a few solid hours studying non-stop

• Spend 30-60 minutes reviewing your notes, homework, and text, and quizzing yourself by talking out-loud.

• None of the above

To study for a final exam or unit test, your best option is to...

• study corrected tests from the semester

• reread every chapter covered since the beginning of the semester

• forget studying. You either know it or you don't.

• None of the above.
