make these brief, for example: a word on one side with its definition on the other
2. Study sessions
take advantage of any chance to study with other people whether it is with the teacher in a class study session or with your friends at your own home. Explaining what you know about the subject to someone else is one of the best ways to increase your own comprehension and memory
study alone by reading your notes, reading the text, understanding any graphs or pictures in the text, going over 3x5 cards
3. Spend a little time every day reviewing notes and solving practice problems rather than a lot of time the day before the test.
4. Get help from the teacher
ask questions in class
write down questions and give them to the teacher, the teacher will then write down the answers and give them to you the next day
5. Visit the teacher before or after school for individual help.
