Use these strategies to study for Science tests and quizzes
(and maybe your other classes too)!
1.
Study every night
for five nights before the test. For a
quiz, it should be 1-2 nights.
2.
Handwrite
(as in write with your hand, not typing) flash cards for key vocabulary, people, terms and dates.
3.
Study the flash
cards: Look at the term and come up with
the definition and vice versa. If you
can say the definition without looking, you are well studied on that one.
4.
Handwrite key concepts two or three times each and read them out loud
as you write them.
5.
Ask a parent or a
friend to quiz
you.
6.
Re-read all your notes
out
loud.
7.
Make a practice quiz. Turn your
note or book headings into questions:
Example: Heading “Cell Theory”
2
possible questions: “What are the three
parts of the Cell Theory?” “Who were the
three scientists who contributed to it?”
8.
Make an acrostic
poem for lists of terms to remember.
Example:
Orders of phases of cell
cycle: Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
In Paris
Many Artists Take
Chances
9.
Make up a Song
based on the facts you want to remember
to help you remember. Music uses a
different part of your brain and helps you recall information more easily.
10.Use
the notes
taken in class as well as the sections of
the textbook they go with as a basis for what to study. (Ex: Ch 3-1 Notes go with the textbook
Chapter 3, section 1 in science).
