Do you ever have trouble studying for tests?  With this article you can improve your studying skills, and ace every test every time.  To get a good score, you have to know the material.  Different people have different ways of memorizing material.  Writing it over and over, reading it over and over, or having their parents or friends give them a spoken quiz.  Try a few different ways until you find out which method works with your mind the best. Read your notes and vocabulary terms over and over, then write the key terms and definitions out on a piece of paper, like you're actually taking the test.  Then try having a family member or friend say a definition and answer with the correct word.

 

            Once you have tried those methods, and any other ones you can think of, think of which ones helped you memorize the material the most. A lot of the time teachers or parents will only tell you to study a certain style, but it’s okay to explore outside of those styles and see which helps you learn the best. Remember, you can often do a lot better than you think on tests if you put out a little extra effort.
