Study Tip #1

1. Be an active reader-

     What does this mean? It means you aren't sitting in your bed skimming through the pages, but at your desk, or a table with a pen in your hand and a notebook or sticky marks.

2. Vocabulary is always important-

     I tend to go through my chapter first and find all the definitions, and put them in my notes before I even start reading the material. This way, you will already know what they mean when you come to them in text.

3. Read the titles of sections first-

     The title of a section usually tells you what the key concept is for it. Go through that section and highlight anything that pertains to the key concept.

4. Learn how to mark pages-

     By finding a good method for yourself to mark pages and know what's on them, it'll be easy to find the information you're looking for when you're studying for a test.

5. Write your own questions-

     Looking for something else to put on your note cards to study? Develop your own questions from each key concept that you read; something you think will show up on the test.
