Do not memorize the problem, but be able to explain exactly what is happening. Reviewing problems many times helps students comprehend the material. When preparing for tests, students should pay very close attention during class, since some professors give hints.
Professors assign exercises and assign problems in the back of the chapter.
If there are multiple assignments of exercises and corresponding problems in the syllabus, this is also a hint of what could be on the test. I also recommend students purchase study guides. They explain problems well. Keep to a schedule, and do math everyday. If in Kay s class, use her study guide sheets.
