- Pay particular attention
to any study guides
that the instructor hands out in class before the exam,
or even at the beginning of the course! For
example: key points, particular chapters or parts
of chapters, handouts, etc.
- Ask the instructor what
to anticipate on the test
if he/she does not volunteer the information
- Pay particular
attention--just prior to the exam--
to points the instructor brings up during class lectures
- Generate a list of
possible questions
you would ask if you were making the exam, then see if
you can answer the questions
- Review previous tests
graded by the instructor
- Confer with other
students
to predict what will be on the test
- Pay particular attention
to clues
that indicate an instructor might test for a particular
idea, as when an instructor:
- says something more than
once
- writes material on the board
- pauses to review notes
- asks questions of the class
- says, "This will be on
the test!"
