Okay, I finally logged into tv.com:D Apparently, I changed my email address without knowing it:roll: I have two email addresses, and I closed my first one, so when I changed it yesterday, my log in pattern was different. I still can't type blogs there though:evil:

1. When studying for a test, read the material straight through, then go back and read it again.
2. Never wait until the last minute to study for a test; you'll panic. The best time to study is two days before. Then, the night before, review the material and get a good night's sleep.
3. Divide the test material in half and team up with a friend. Take turns teaching each other the material you've covered.
4. Talk to the teacher a few days before the test. Say you want to make sure you're focusing on the right material and explain your understanding of what will be covered.
5. Keep old tests and use them to study for the new ones. Most teachers ask certain kinds of questions and you'll know what to expect. Pay special attention to the questions you got wrong. Try to determine the reasons for the wrong answers.
6. A good way to learn something well is to hear it. Read you textbook out loud or try teaching it to someone else.
7. The night before the test, as you fall asleep, picture the important material in your mind. This is when your brain is most open to learning. You'll be surprised how much you can memorize at this time.
8. Your brain needs proper food before a test. Eat a good breakfast if the test is in the morning. If it's in the afternoon, avoid carbohydrates for lunch.
9. Bring everything you think you'll need to the test - pens and pencils, a ruler and calculator if they're appropriate, reference books if they're allowed, and a wristwatch so you can keep track of time.
10. Wear comfortable clothing. You'll have an easier time concentrating if you don't feel restricted in any way.
11. Before you go to the classroom to take the test, find a quiet spot and review the important material again.
12. Get to the classroom early so you're ready when the test begins. Don't sit near friends who might distract you.
13. When you read the test instructions, do so slowly and thoroughly. Make sure you have all the pages you're supposed to have. If you don't understand something, ask for help right away.
14. Take your time.
15. Take deep breaths and try to picture yourself leaving the classroom when the test is over. Think of how relieved you'll feel.
16. Answer the easy questions first. This will help build confidence. Come back to the hard questions later.
17. In true-false questions, remember that if part of the statement is false, the whole statement is false.
18. In matching columns of phrases with each other, cross them out as you connect them. Deal with the leftovers by process of elimination.
19. With mulitple choice questions, try to recall the answer before you read the choices. Then, as you read the choices, immediately cross out the answers you know are wrong.
20. For essay questions, make a short outline of your answer before you write the essay. State your main point in the first sentence; get right to the point.
21. If you've memorized lots of details for the test, write down the ones you think you may forget as soon as the test starts.

Another tip of mine is to GO OVER YOUR ANSWERS WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH THE TEST!!!! It's a proven fact that most answers you get wrong are mistakes that can be prevented by reviewing the question and answer.
