You will need to study for a long answer test differently than you would for a short answer test. Pay attention to everything your teacher says about the test.
Most teachers provide a lot of information about the test during class.
Organize your test study materials. Gather all class notes, textbooks, quizzes, worksheets and homework assignments that relate to the test. Make sure you have paper, pencil, eraser, ruler, highlighter pen, and dictionary. Plan to study a little bit at a time. Write down the date, period and topic in your Agenda book and plan to study a certain amount of time each night rather than cramming the night before.
