Another useful tool is a study checklist. Make a list of everything you need to know for the exam. The list should include a brief description of reading assignments, types of problems to solve, skills to master, major ideas, theories, definitions, and equations. When you begin your final study sessions, cross off items as you review them. For some subjects, study groups are an effective tool.
Study groups allow students to combine resources.
Members share an academic goal and provide support and encouragement. Such groups should meet regularly to study and learn a specific subject. Suggest to two or three that you meet to talk about group goals, meeting times, and other logistics. Effective study groups are limited to five or six people. Test the group first by planning a one-time only session.
