I never really was the type to study for tests. Pretty recently, since my test grades have dropped, I'm not allowed to go on the computer during the weekdays, since I will be expected to study to improve those grades. I do well on homework, since I have the resources [internet, notes, ect.], but when it comes to tests, I feel that I do SO well on them and am SURE to get a good grade; when it's handed back, there's a big C written on it. I don't understand what's going on. I know the material, and am NOT about to let my grades slip down the drain. I just don't understand what's going on. I think it's because I rush through the test, and don't go back and fix silly mistakes. I'm just not motivated enough, I guess.. I just need some tips.
Do not say the following:
'umm idkmibffjill look it up on google?'
'eat breakfast!!!' [I already know that]
Elcee answered Wednesday March 19 2008, 7:35 am: The best advice I can give is to read through the paper completely when you first turn it over. Then go through it answering all those questions that you know the answer to and make sure they are spelt correctly and accurately. Finally, with the time left go through all the questions you do not know for certain and have a go at them, again making sure you spell words correctly and use the correct grammar etc. If you have any time left at the end, use it to tweak your answers to get every possible mark you can out of them. Also, lastly, make sure your writing is clear and legible. Good luck. [ Elcee's advice column | Ask Elcee A Question ]
