1. Find out what topics are on the test

• If your teacher didn't give you a list, ask for one! (or make a list for yourself using your book and notes)

2. Go through your notes

• Review important concepts and vocabulary. Highlight these as you go. It might be helpful to make a "cheat sheet" and rewrite important information on one sheet of paper. If you're not sure what something means, make a note of it.

• When you're finished going through your notes, look up the things that were confusing.

• For vocabulary, use the glossary.

• For concepts, ask the teacher for clarification after school.

3. Redo problems from homework or quizzes 

• Highlight questions you got incorrect or were confused on.

• Re-do these problems without looking at your previous work! You won't have previous work to reference on the assessment

• Make sure you understand how to do them correctly by checking your answers! 

  1. 1. 1. • • This is part of the reason it is important to write the original problem when doing homework and the correct answer when we go over it in class.

4. Identify what areas you're having trouble with.

• From going through your notes and homework, you should have an idea what type of problems you're having trouble with.

• Look for things in common:

  • • • • • Are they all word problems?

          • All calculation errors?

          • All errors with signs?

          • Are you losing points on explanations?

      • Ask your teacher for help!
