It depends on the type of test she gives. If it is mostly essay questions, make sure you pace yourself, and address each question you are asked to answer. No matter what type of test, don’t skip any questions. Make sure you at least attempt everything.

The studying again depends on what she requires in the test. If it is mostly memory and you need to remember dates, names, etc., regular review is one of the best ways – study history every night – don’t leave it all until Friday. Cramming just before the test doesn’t work. As you are reading the material, some of it every night, ask yourself questions about the material as you read. Highlight and take notes. Think about the kinds of questions that have been on the tests in the past, and see if you can write some of your own, or figure out what type of questions might be on the next test.

Listen very well in class. Be attentive. Ask questions if you don’t understand something. Ask your teacher what kinds of things you can do to do better on the tests.

Make sure you take care of yourself physically. Eat nutritiously especially a good breakfast, get some fresh air and exercise, and get enough sleep. especially the night before the test. Many students forget that these are very important factors in doing well on tests.

Here are a few sites that may help you. Best of luck with it.

Take good notes in class, and read through them each evening to review what you’ve learned. Does your teacher give a study guide? If so, write the answers to the study guide questions out — the act of writing the answers will help you remember them later. Another helpful tool is to highlight points you want to remember and/or color code your notes — many people remember in color and so that can be a way to more easily recall information. Reviewing material just prior to your class if possible can help.

It depends upon the test style and purpose — if you are being tested to see if you understand the material or to see if you’ve memorized facts — what the best ways to prepare are…color coding, highlighting and handwriting facts/answers are good tools for memorization. Reading through notes and talking through answers to study questions can help you understand content and write about it thoughtfully.

Final suggestion — make sure you are well rested, have eaten, and are hydrated before any test (a good idea in general actually) so you can focus.

First, do your homework. Then, prepare pencil, some paper sheets, a meal and prepare yourself in a positive way.

Just read calmly, little by little, copy in the paper sheets what you think that must be important, like the dates, places and people

s names. When you get tires, just relax your mind on something fun, and again come back to your studies.

When I’m reading from a copy or a book I like to underline what I think is important too.

And it works. You have to study on time ahead of an exam, that way you can review what you did before.

listen to the teacher while taking notes so that you memorized at least bits of the topic. study your notes and review your seatworks and etc., do your best in the test and pray that you’ll remember the things you’ve studied…..
