Flip through the material you’re going to be tested on. On a scrap piece of paper, write a list of vocab words / events / things you need to know about. Then, on a different piece of paper, start with the first word, and write everything you know about it, then skip a few lines and write the next word, write everything you know, skip a few lines, until you’ve gone through the whole list. Its good to repeat details in each subject. Once you’re done, go back to your book/notes and, in a different color ink, finish off each subject with what you missed. Then study from it. Putting this guide together is a study within itself; but now, the colored inks show what you do know about the subject andwhat you’re not so sure of. Study the information written with the different ink, because it doesn’t make sense to study what you already know. You’re sure to do well on a quiz/test if you use this method.

Good luck! =]
