Take an Extra 6% with the Same Content: 6 steps for University Student’s Tests

Part 1: Class is Critical

If you never went to class, would you still have to pay for university? You might just end up paying double to take all those classes again. Being in class means that you don’t miss the little notes and expressions from the professor that allude to test material. Some teachers make it more obvious than others, but just about every professor gives tips and hints you’d miss otherwise. Plus, learning with other students in class means finding study buddies, asking questions, and possibly even getting interested (what?!).

 

Part 2: Notes, Notes, Notes!

There’s no way that one brain can remember what the professor said in English, Statistics, and Biology in one day. Taking notes on a laptop or tablet means that you can type on average 35-45 words per minute, rather than 14-16, around 3 times the information. As you write live-action notes clarify with others or ask the professor.

How to Take Notes 

 

Part 3: Mind Deep in Material

Reviewing material is important to any test-writer. Studies have been done to show the most effective way of reviewing material is within 24 hours of being in class (back to part 1!). If you do type notes on your laptop, the perfect way to review is to rewrite them into a notebook. Notebooks are useful because paper and pen does help you remember better, plus then you can use different colours to help you remember. Teaming up your laptop and notebook is arguably the best way for any university student.

 

Part 4: Textbook is Test-book and Best-book

While being in class will get you information from the professor, the textbook is where the material comes from. Re-reading the textbook or doing textbook questions becomes a very useful tool in reviewing. Take a mental note of what the textbook focuses on, and what it doesn’t. This way you can make sure your notes are correct and useful.

Part 5: Study Session

The night before the test is always study time, but so should a few days before that. Starting early relieves last minute stress and allows you to ask those questions that only come up when you actually study the material. Study with a buddy for a bit, it makes it more fun and you can do things you can’t do alone, like flash cards. Studying alone is important too. Go until you can’t anymore, then do some more.

How long should you study for?

Part 6: Chill, Check, Countdown

The intention of the ‘day-of’ should be to keep it chill, now stress will only hinder you. Check you’ve got all your supplies and then grab a coffee on your walk to the test in your favourite confidence boosting outfit. Showing up early is important, but sometimes it can get a little crazy with other students stressing and clarifying things with you that you didn’t even know you had to study – and often aren’t on the test anyway. In the countdown, depending on your preference, you could chill outside on a chair until it’s time, or you just could walk in. Now is your time to shine! Go get that extra 6% that you just earned in a simple 6 steps.
