Taming the Exam Monsters

Have you ever taken a test (exam) and wondered how such knowledge could be contained in such a tiny space? Have you ever realized that the person sitting next to you probably didn’t even read the entire book, let alone understand it? Have you ever come across an exam question that you are 100% sure was not on the test? If so, then this blog post is for you!

How to Deal with Exam Monsters
Teaching and reviewing will never stop and they can be especially difficult when students need to ace a test. There are, however, strategies you can implement to avoid those pesky monsters that cause problems. First, try to identify your exam monster early on in the process by asking students what they struggle with the most. Another strategy is to find out what areas of school they struggle with and help them focus on those areas or even assign them a project where their goal is to practice specific skills. Lastly, make sure your students have a good study routine going into the week leading up to the exam so they do not cram at all hours of the night.

What Tests Matter
Several people have the idea that you have to study for everything. However, there are a few tests that really matter during your career or career path. They include the LSAT, GMAT, MCAT, and GRE. These tests will determine whether or not you actually have what it takes to achieve your goals. It can be challenging to manage the different types of tests that may come up over the course of your career. However, there are some tests that need more attention than others. When you take a test like the DAT, it’s important to make sure you prepare as much as possible and leave nothing on the table. If you don’t, you could potentially miss out on an opportunity to move forward in your career.

Ways to Study for Exams
You’ve been putting off studying for that big exam, but you know it’s time to buckle down and make a plan. Studying can seem like a daunting task, but there are a few simple tips every student should follow to help them stay on top of their work. First, take a break! It can be hard to study without any motivation, so consider going outside or doing something completely unrelated for a while to re-energize your brain and give yourself enough time to allow it to focus on the material. After that, set aside time for each subject. If you have two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon for all of your subjects, then those are the best times to dedicate those hours towards

Tools and Technology for Studying
Technology is changing the way that we study, and has dramatically increased our ability to cram. There are many tools that can help us learn more effectively, like flashcards, apps, and courses. Technology also allows us to carry on studying while we are out of the house or away from school.

Conclusion
An effective and efficient way to deal with exam monsters is to find a study partner. Having your study partner helps you keep motivated throughout the process, which makes it much easier to stay on track and complete assignments in a timely manner.
