• For quizzes, plan at least 2-3 study sessions
• For tests, plan at least 4-5 study sessions
9. Who is your Study Partner?
Options:
• Use the same study partner for each subject
or
• Choose a different study partner for each subject
Decide:
• Classmate?
• Family member?
10. Why work with a Study Partner?
1. Your brain LOVES to hear
you talk about what your
learning. Material is better
understood and retained
when you work with another
person and discuss what you
are learning.
2. Learning becomes more
relevant and intellectually
stimulating
3. It will increase your
academic confidence!
11. The “Do” List of a Study Partnership
1. Be a source of support
and encouragement
2. Learn new study habits
from each other
3. Confirm with each other
any confusing or complex
subject material
4. Be prepared: bring all
notes, old tests/quizzes,
study guides, study aids
etc. Bring everything you
have for that subject!
12. At Home– Before You Meet
1. Collect your study guide,
class notes & old
tests/quizzes…anything you
need to create your study
tool for your study session.
2. Create your study aid or
tool (flashcards, quizlet,
kahoot)
3. Plan a time to meet with
your study partner (B4
school, lunch, afterschool,
Facetime)
13. The “Don’t” List 1. Don’t be a Hog or
Log! Share ideas and
notes
2. Don’t rush or quickly
try to be “done”.
Spend 20-30
minutes per subject.
3. Don’t let side talk
take you off task
Cooperative Teamwork
means…
No Hogs
Or
Logs Allowed!
14. After the Meeting
• Reflect…Make sure your
time is not fluff or
wasted. Was your study
session effective?
• If yes, be sure to
schedule your next
session with your partner
for the next upcoming
assessment!
