How to Study for Quizzes/Exams:

1. When is the Quiz/Exam? Divide out the material to study so you can focus intensely each night. Give yourself 1-2 days break from the review.

2. Review your Objectives that you have written out each week.

3. Review your animation lists.

4. Create “Still Confused” questions and ask at the Help Session.

5. For the FRQ’s & SA’s:

a. Outline key ideas from the chapters.

b. Remember to include your vocabulary and any examples that would work.

6. For the Calculations: Practice, practice, practice! Make sure you understand WHY we use that equation and what it means.

How to Read the TEXTBOOK:

1. How many pages long is the reading? How long do you have until the assignment is due? Calculate how many pages/day you need to read. Start right away!

2. Read through the Reading Guide questions so that you know what to look for.

3. DO NOT SKIM, but read through the pages and answer the RG questions IN YOUR OWN WORDS.

4. Look at the Figures that go with that reading. Sketch them in your notes.

5. Highlight or use sticky notes to identify the confusing sections. Make sure to clarify in class the next day.

6. The best way to “GET” the material is to read three times:

a. First: while filling out the RG’s to become familiar with the material.

b. Second: After class notes, review and supplement your notes.

c. Third: Skim the material before the exam – Figures especially!
