Most of us on here... okay almost all of us... have had to wait for test results....I had two tests today... and I think they went well... but time will tell.. Now it's time to prepare for another....

For all of you... I found some study tips that have worked for me and they may work for some of you too...

Study with a classmate, ask questions back and forth. Formulating questions can really help
Use your resources... Look for book websites. (it doesn't take long and can help you with flash cards and quizzes)
Apply your knowledge. Case studies can tell you what you do or don't know...

If you don't have another person to study with... quiz yourself in the comforts of a study room or your home, where not to many people can hear you. I found that when I studied with others that it helped the most.

Well hope this helps...
Thanks for this!

I'm sure you did great in your exams.

Another tip if you're studying alone is when quizzing yourself on a question try to explain the answer out loud, not just in your head. If you can talk about an answer writing it usually becomes easy.

Don't worry, I wont miss class.... but it did teach me one other thing... In order to receive an A in a class, I have to put in the time to do well on exams.... which you would think would help to motivate me to get out of the house, right?? well I'm getting closer to leaving to study... but It's taken 4 hours to do so...

Yes, I learned that in the middle of a final exam when I was struggling with one problem and suddenly wished I had studied more; oops, a bit late? From then on I made sure I did not feel that regret taking exams.
