Study Strategies

7 Days Before a Test

The first item on the book mark that students should begin with is to go back through their slides in Google Classroom and review any videos we have watched in class ~OR~ seek their own videos on YouTube or Kahn Academy to assist in the topics we have discussed.

Students should read over our notes from class.  We usually have a few more to work on, but at least start reviewing what is in the Science Notebook!  It is also a good idea to make notes about what information is still confusing to ask teachers prior to the test.

Students should FOCUS ON VOCABULARY.  Every unit for science includes a set of vocabulary flash cards that is posted in Google Classroom.  The cards allow for quizzes and activities to help them remember key terms.  Have your student utilize them frequently, even if for small amounts of time.

This would be a great time to review topics and take a few minutes to reflect on what questions students still have. Please help your student mark any questions in their notebooks or on a sheet of paper so they can ask their teacher tomorrow in class.
