    To study the night before, and that very morning so that all the info can stick with you the test or final day. Also, like repeat over and over the info you need out loud and in your head. Studying to me is like just like momorizing, storing it all.

  3. Study for a few days. Do not try to cram it all into one night. Your brain will only temporary remember it!

  4. to study at least 2 nights before the test and get a good amount of sleep. use flashcards or something to help instead of just reading information. study with a good partner or go to tutoring.

  5. The best study advice I've ever received is to study over the weakend and not to study all at once. Always break your studying into hours. and never cram the night before . and dont try to study when your tired because you wont beable to remember anything.

    Don't cram and while your studying test yourself, it also helps to zone everything out and turn off all electronic devices.

  8. Using flashcards is the best way to study in my opinion, have a pile of the ones u got wrong and the ones you got right. Continue to go over them for about 1 hour or 2. This helps me alot
