Start With A Plan!------------------------------
The key to effective exam studying is to have a 1 page study guide that you use to organize your study session

down to study? How do you know what to focus on when studying?
What does that plan look like?
Start by defining what will be on the test:
What percentage is the test worth?
What chapters are you responsible for?
What type of questions will be on the test?
What type of themes does your professor tend to focus on?
Gravity FormO Can you think of anything that you
could add to this plan to make it more effective?
