Secret Key #1 Plan Big, Study Small
Theres a lot riding on your performance. If you want to acethis test, youre going to need to keep your skills sharp and the materialfresh in your mind. You need a plan that lets you review everything you need toknow while still fitting in your schedule. Well break this strategy down intothree categories.
Information Organization
Start with the information you already have: the officialtest outline. From this, you can make a complete list of all the concepts youneed to cover before the test. Organize these concepts into groups that can bestudied together, and create a list of any related vocabulary you need to learnso you can brush up on any difficult terms. Youll want to keep this vocabularylist handy once you actually start studying since you may need to add to italong the way.
Time Management
Once you have your set of study concepts, decide how tospread them out over the time you have left before the test. Break your studyplan into small, clear goals so you have a manageable task for each day andknow exactly what youre doing. Then just focus on one small step at a time.When you manage your time this way, you dont need to spend hours at a timestudying. Studying a small block of content for a short period each day helpsyou retain information better and avoid stressing over how much you have leftto do. You can relax knowing that you have a plan to cover everything in time.In order for this strategy to be effective though, you have to start studyingearly and stick to your schedule. Avoid the exhaustion and futility that comesfrom last-minute cramming!
