1. Review your notes. Start with the main points before you return to review the material in detail.
2. Set up a schedule so you know what you will be reviewing each night, and know that you can cover everything in that time.
3. Listen closely to the teacher's tips on what may be in the examination, e.g. which chapters to cover.
4. Never assume that something won't be on the examination and skip over it for that reason.
5. Be sure you know what type of exami- nation it will be, e.g. essay questions or true-and-false. If you're in any doubt, don't hesitate to ask.
