When you should study and helpful tips ?

• try to study at least a week before your exam
• it is best to study each day for a shorter amount of time than to cram the night before
• if your professor has not posted a study guide: begin reviewing your notes and old quizzes
• study smarter not harder.. set an alarm for how long you are going to study and do not check your phone during that time (put on airplane mode)
• study with someone in your class
• truly test yourself- ask yourself questions and answer them without notes in front of you
• writing out notes seems to be more effective in remembering information than typing

Resources:

• Your professor – they want you to succeed! do not be afraid to ask a question
• your classmates
• the writing center and subject tutoring https://libguides.roanoke.edu/writingcenter and https://libguides.roanoke.edu/subject_tutoring

Take Care of Yourself

• make sure to get enough sleep (ideally 8 hours)
• eat a good meal before an exam
• exercise can help reduce stress and is a good study break
• keep your room and desk clean and tidy , there is the saying “Cluttered desk means cluttered mind” for a reason
• and remember these tests do not define you!
• Study hard and then relax on winter break 🙂

Good Luck !
