Start Early
- Begin preparing when you receive the subject syllabus. The syllabus is the road map of the class. Be sure to enter all test dates in your personal calendar or planner.
- Clearly identify the various “tasks” that you will have to do while you study. Use key words like “read”, “write”, “create outline”, “memorize”, “rewrite”, etc.
- Look at your schedule and work backward to set some deadlines like "review lecture notes" or "skim textbook chapters". Revisit these deadlines as the term progresses.
- Seek help in a timely fashion for those areas you find difficult and challenging.
