So you need to study for a test?

Alright so we have all been there (unfortunately you are there now), you know a test is coming up, but what are you supposed to do?

Here are some tips that can help you out.
The old cliche Go over your notes a little bit daily, I understand if this may not seem like the most exciting thing to do, but even if you have a week until your test begin going over your notes daily, it really does help. Especially if you go over what you learned earlier that day.
Get alone first, then find a study group Always study alone first, the reason is if you study alone then you can work on what you need to know.
Yet you always want a study group, a lot of times you will have completely forgotten to study a subject for a test while your friend will have remembered. This is always a good idea.
Ask the teacher If you have time ask the teacher to help you with a subject you do not understand.
Think happy thoughts Now is not the time to stress or to complain, this will only hurt you, now is the time to sit down and work through it all.
Work smarter not harder Learn some accelerated learning. These techniques are great and really help you with studying.
Find someone smart This is kind of like the talk to a teacher. Find someone who really knows the work, have them quiz you, then quiz them, this is by far one of the most effective techniques I have found.
