Preparing for Exams Reflections
Brian Maregedze
1. Read the material at least once without taking notes or highlighting anything. This will give you a general overview of the material, which is crucial for understanding it later on.
2. Take notes while you read, being sure to include page numbers and section headings. You should also use different colors to highlight key points and sections that are important for your exam.
3. Once you’ve finished reading, go back through your notes and highlight important information again so that it stands out when you’re reviewing later on.
4. If there are any questions that have been confusing or difficult for you, try answering them by writing them out in complete sentences before looking at the answers provided in the textbook or study guide. This will help you understand the concepts better so that they make more sense when they come up again during an exam!
5. Try using flashcards to help memorize important terms from your reading materials; this is especially effective if you can find someone else who has already studied those same flashcards with you (and then quiz them!).
