Learning
- Take good notes in your class lectures and textbooks.
- Review your notes soon after class/lecture
- Review notes briefly before the next class
- Schedule some time at the end of the week for a longer review
Reviewing

- Organize your notes, texts, and assignments according to what will be on the test
- Estimate the hours you’ll need to review materials
- Draw up a schedule that blocks units of time and material
- Test yourself on the material
- Finish your studying the day before the exam
