Preparing For Tests And Taking Them

Preparing For Tests, And Taking Them

 

 

Though most of us wish it were otherwise, life is full of tests:

 

--to operate a car, we need to pass a driver's test

--as employees, we need to do well on performance evaluations in order to  

   qualify for a raise

--our doctors assess various aspects of our health with measurements of

   many kinds

--and college professors gauge their students' learning by giving tests.

 

College tests can present genuine intellectual challenges, and also raise our anxiety levels. To be successful on tests in college, it's helpful:

 

--to remember important facts and ideas learned in the class,

--to organize this material, recognizing the patterns, connections and

   relationships that tie the parts of it together, and

--to prepare for tests in ways that will result in real learning, and in self-

  assurance as we take them.
