Smart Study Habits

By , About.com GuideFebruary 16, 2011

Follow me on:

How do you know what to study when you prepare for a test? Do you go into your study hour like a scatter bomber, trying to hit every topic covered in the past few weeks, or do pinpoint certain topics and study with a plan? When do you start to prepare for a test?

My advice is to start early and always have a plan.

One of the best things you can do for yourself is to start preparing for every test as soon as you start a new segment. You should treat every night as a test prep night, and create your own practice test questions as you go. Put your test questions on an index card and set them aside until you have a stack of questions at the end of every week.

At the end of every week, use your stack to take a practice test. This is just one of many good study habits you should adopt. You'll find that one strategy will work best for you.
