Study Tips for the Savvy Student:
Turn off all devices and distractions, study in a cool, quiet area with a table and good lighting, not in your bed.

Day 1:
1) Correct all of your errors from the quiz
2) Review the concepts that are challenging for you by getting an adult to give you new questions that mirror what is in your Math Booklet for the sections that you find hard OR write out the questions on cue cards and write the answers on the back so you can test yourself.
3) Use a timer: work in 20 minute intervals, then take a 10 minute brain break (eat, drink, exercise,  talk to a friend) and repeat two more times.
4) Finish with one or two Kenken puzzles.

Day 2: 
1) Review your quiz, focusing on each section. Pull 2 questions from each section, create similar questions and see that you can answer them correctly.
1) Review your cue card questions from yesterday with a friend or parent. Can you explain the idea behind the questions that you are having trouble with? If not, ask for help in class or from a parent.
2) Review your notes about Math at work- you know there will be a question on this concept.
3) Use a timer: work in 20 minute intervals, then take a 10 minute brain break (eat, drink, talk to a friend) and repeat two more times.
4) When you are done, reward yourself for a job well done, you'll be ready for the test.

GOOD LUCK!
