Super Study Skills:

Note-Taking-

Write down the main ideas, write down those items your teacher points out as important, write question marks next to anything you don't understand- ask your teacher or another student to explain it further.

Tips for studying for tests-

Before--Make flash cards, timelines, create your own questions. Mark your calendar and set times to study before the test.

During--Read questions carefully, show work (on math problems), answer in complete sentences, review work before turning in the test.

After--check what you missed, make sure you understand and can now complete it correctly.
