Hey there! Nibbles here with some great tips for studying for tests. No one LOVES taking tests, but they’re a part of school – so here’s now to do your very best!

First, starting about a week before the test, re-read your notes. See what you wrote down in class, and try to understand and remember the key points. If you’re fuzzy about anything, visit your teacher and see if he or she can clarify the concepts for you. Remember: your teacher wants you to do well!

Second, look at your text books. Read any chapters that your teacher mentioned and pay attention to any important details. You can make notes on flash cards if it helps you learn the information. Some people work best by writing notes, some work best by drawing pictures, some work best by saying the information out loud. Whatever your learning style, do that!

Third, make yourself a practice test. Come up with questions you think your teacher might put on your test, and see if you’re able to answer them. If not, more reviewing is in order.

Finally, study with a partner. You can work with a friend, sibling or parent (or tutor, if you have one). Ask your partner to quiz you on the subject, and then (if it’s a friend who happens to be taking the same test), you can do the same for them.

On the big day of the test, just take a deep breath and be calm – you’ll do great!
