We would like to welcome all returning and new students to this academic year. We continue to urge you to sanitize and maintain social distancing as the war against COVID-19 is still on going

WAYS TO PREPARE FOR EXAMS
Routinely review your class notes. Focus on the main points and organize the information into smaller, more manageable parts.

Minimize distractions. Turn off the TV, cell phone, computer and other potential interruptions.

Set specific measurable goals for each study session to keep yourself on track.

Predict possible questions.

Develop summary sheets for each class. Condense information from your notes and textbook on index cards, post-it notes, or ready reference concept sheets.

If you think you know your stuff, prove it. Quizzing yourself problems avoids overconfidence and helps you identify gaps in your recall. Answer the questions at the end of the chapter in your textbook.

Take short breaks. Your brain can process a limited amount of information and benefits from some rest.

Don’t go it alone. Form a study group and develop a practice test together. Meet with the professor, a tutor or a learning specialist if needed.
