“How do I know what to think until I see what I say?”

– E. M. Forster

Before every social studies quiz or test, you should create a study guide to review the material. You guide should be personalized so that it reflects how YOU best learn. Here are some helpful hints to focus you.

1. Where are you going to study? Ideally, you choose a comfortable chair in a designated study space. Try to limit distractions – turn off the television, music, and your computer.

2. Strategies to Help you Remember

• Organize information

• Cue words

• Create a picture

• Make associations between ideas/words

• Mnemonic devices

• Writing

• Outlines

• Note cards

• Conversations

3. Testing – don’t stress!

• Answer those you know first; see if later questions help you answer earlier questions you may have left blank.

• Rule out answers you know can NOT be right

• Pay attention to WORDING

• On matching tests, check off each answer after you’ve used it; saves time.

• On multiple choice tests, don’t worry about the pattern of the letters. It is random.

• When taking an essay exam, carefully read the topic, underlining key words or directions; half way through, re-read the directions to check.

Remember, your goal is to achieve your personal best. You can’t just “look” at the material and be fine. You need to organize and process the information – and that means READING, REVIEWING, and WRITING! Good luck – I know you can be successful at studying! (
