Ultimately, we study to do well on our tests and exams. Trust us, we know how scary tests are. They're even scarier in college! It's hard to know what to expect on a test. It's also hard to know how to study.
Tip #1: Every professors test is different. You will never have two professors who give similar tests. Because every professor is different, it is hard to know how to study for the test. The best advice we can give is to over study going into the first exam. After the first exam, you know how the professor formats their test. Other than the format, you can tell which information the professor thinks is most important. It can be notes, readings, lectures, etc. The first test is scary, but after it's over you can start to relax.
Tip #2: Study early. It is never too early to start studying. Because you aren't in class for 8 hours a day, there is a lot of free time in your schedule to devote to studying. Although studying doesn't sound like the best way to spend your time, it is. There's no down side to studying. It will only help you in the long run.
Tip #3: Do the readings. Homework assignments in college are much more geared towards reading. Our advice is to actually do the reading. We also suggest you highlight or take notes on the readings. Those readings will help you on tests and quizzes.
Remember, the majority of your college grades are based on tests and quizzes. Because of this, it is crucial that you spend enough time studying and preparing for those tests. If you use your time wisely and focus on your classes, we are sure you will do fine.
Best regards,
