The document provides tips for effective studying and test taking, recommending that students avoid cramming, eat an apple for energy instead of sugary foods, study in a well-lit distraction-free space while maintaining a positive attitude, focus on main ideas and formulas rather than details, take breaks every hour, and get at least three hours of sleep before an exam.

2. Cramming should be avoided at all costs You should only cram for a test at the last result It is very difficult to take in and retain a large amount of information in a short time

3. Eat some food in order to give you energy Try not to eat food that has excess sugar An apple keeps you awake better than caffeine

4. Find a well lit place with no distractions around to study but don’t get too comfortable Keep a positive attitude because it is hard to study when you become stressed out You have to pick what you are going to study because you can’t study everything Focus on the things that may be worth the most points

5. Focus on the main ideas and learn key formulas Skip the details and only come back to them if you have time Write down key terms and formulas on a separate sheet of paper and keep reviewing them

6. Highlight the important points in your notes Read the chapter summaries Skim through the text and write down key points Study from past tests, review questions, homework and review sheets Take a five minute break an hour so that you can gather your thoughts and let your brain relax

7. If time permits, try to get a least three hours of sleep before the exam so that you don’t fall asleep during the exam Don’t forget to set two alarms
