EXAM\u00a0week can be the most stressful time\u00a0in the school year\u00a0for a student, whether it’s high school, college, university or beyond. So moms and dads, if you want to help them ace their exams, remind them of these tips…
\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create your own study guide.<\/strong>\u00a0While many teachers provide a study guide, creating your own can help you understand the material better.<\/li>\n
  2. Ask Questions.\u00a0<\/strong>Your teachers are there to help! Ask them questions regarding the material and the exam so that you\u2019re prepared for the exam.<\/li>\n
  3. Go to the Review Session.\u00a0<\/strong>Review sessions\u00a0 can give up\u00a0important info\u00a0on the exam format, what’s going to be\u00a0on the exam and more.<\/li>\n
  4. Start Early.\u00a0<\/strong>If you always start ahead of schedule, you\u2019ll never be cramming the night before an exam.\u00a0And it’s\u00a0almost always a better outcome!<\/li>\n
  5. Organize a group study session.\u00a0<\/strong>Studying with peers can really help…<\/li>\n
  6. Study things not on the Study Guide.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. Take Breaks.\u00a0<\/strong>You can’t memorize or\u00a0understand all the material at once. Balance & break times to recharge and relax.<\/li>\n
  8. Stay well-rested.\u00a0<\/strong>Get a good nights sleep.<\/li>\n
  9. Create a study schedule – and follow it.\u00a0<\/strong>Then you can keep track of what you\u2019ve accomplished instead of\u00a0 getting overwhelmed.<\/li>\n
  10. Prioritize your study time.\u00a0<\/strong>Evaluate all of your exams to figure out which ones bear more weight!<\/li>\n
  11. Study for the style of exam.\u00a0<\/strong>If it\u2019s multiple choice, you\u2019ll need to know definitions and concepts. Essay exams, you need to know everything and be able to give\u00a0examples.<\/li>\n
  12. Quiz yourself.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  13. Meet with your teacher.\u00a0<\/strong>You might get\u00a0helpful hints for what to study and ways to prepare for the exam.<\/li>\n
  14. Reorganize your notes.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  15. Pace yourself.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  16. Teach classmates.\u00a0<\/strong>Learning by teaching really works! If you have a study buddy and explain concepts to one another, you’re actually\u00a0re-learning the material all over again.<\/li>\n
  17. Make it fun.\u00a0<\/strong>It’s easier to focus if you adapt to studying by quizzing yourself, creating acronyms or rewarding yourself for a job well done. Create a game plan – literally – that allows you to accomplish tasks and be rewarded for each. Reward yourself with a candy, piece of chocolate or a warm tea, after you’ve accomplished a new chapter or allow yourself\u00a0 some free time for every chapter you get through…<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
