__Helpful Study Tips __  *Don't try to do all your studying the night before the test. Instead space out your studying, review class materials at least several times a week, focusing on one topic at a time.   *Find a comfortable and quiet place to study with good lighting and little distractions   *If you choose to study in a group, only study with others who are serious about the test.   *Start out by studying the most important information.   *Take notes and write down a summary of the important ideas as you read through your study material. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> <span style="color: white; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">*Take short breaks frequently. Your memory retains the information that you study at the beginning and the end better than what you study in the middle. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> <span style="color: white; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">*Test yourself or have someone test you on the material to find out what your weak and strong areas are. You can use the review questions at the end of each chapter or practice tests the teacher may give out as well as other materials. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> <span style="color: white; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">*Don't study later than the time you usually go to sleep, you may fall asleep or be tempted to go to sleep, instead try studying in the afternoon or early evening. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> <span style="color: white; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">*Get enough sleep and have a healthy breakfast before testing. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;">
