Test Taking Tips

1The hardest part of taking a math test is being able to distinguish between the various types of problems.   6 Do as many problems as you can until you feel comfortable with the material.
2  Work all homework problems. Make a note of the differences in the problems. Write down the steps to each problem.   7 A day or so BEFORE the test, seek help on any last minute questions that you may have.
3 Go back to the class notes and follow the examples making sure you understand each step. This takes time.   8 Find a friend in the class to study with.  You can be beneficial to each other. 
4 Reading a math book takes time. Be patient.   9 Take advantage of the tutor services at the Academic Resource Center.
5 Don't wait to the last minute to study. Make sure you leave time to ask questions in class AFTER you have studied.   10 Math is a cumulative subject. You REALLY need to understand the current material to understand future material.
