I seem to know most things in all classes, but I'm not a great test taker. Anyone have any stategies to help?

Study before hand or use healthy cheat tips

I do study, but I always forget everything on tests.

The best thing to do for you would be to not study in one massive giant clump. If you've got two exams on the same day, study for the first one a day prior, and then approximately half an hour before the exam, and then in your break between exams (assuming you get one) study for your next exam. Take it one exam at a time.

In your study notes, highlight all important sections and key terms and memorize them.

That's a good idea. :) Thanks

No problem. I'm about to undergo a near-full week of exams myself, thought I'd share my plan with you. Let me know how it works out.

My only advice is to remember everything and double check your answers, thats all I do.

What type of test are they?

Normal tests on stuff you're learning, AP Exams, SAT/ACT's, or Standardized tests?

I've never cheated in my life, but I do pretty well on state tests and exams and stuff. I usually go for the easy stuff first to build my confidence up, then I do the harder stuff, i.e. writing out answers.

Lol, I remember from TV:

Multiple Choice - Remember the Facts
Essays - Understand the Subject

Also breath...pace yourself...check it over, all that stuff the teachers actually tell you to do. xD

Don't study. Just listen to the teacher.
I never study and have gotten a 100% point average.

I do the same as Mega, but I still study a little... Depending what subject. If you take notes and stuff you will remember it easier.

And don't try to finish first.

This. Don't rush through the exam, just cause you don't think you'll need all the time given. Trust me, you will.

Wasn't that from Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide? That guy gives some epic tips lol

Study on the day befor the test.

Well,
1) Study
2) Remember everything you learn
3) Go to tutoring if stuff on studying. (Very helpful)
4) If you have no other opinion, here's some quick idea's
Spelling Test: Sound the words out and break them into smaller words
Grammar Test: Say the sentence, then find where you think the grammar would go E.G: The shopper went to see his best buddy John. You see, there is a small break after Buddy, that is where the comma should go.
Multiple choice test: Always choose c! Really, i can't think of anything else besides cheating.
Anything else: Anything from 1-3

Lol. Bart, I'm in high school. There are no spelling tests xD and for the rest of your post.. I know..

This can help the 9 year old kids who go on here.

[quote="Dothebartman91"] Always choose c!
/quote]
Yes, except when its A, B or D.

Always choose c? That is a bit stupid.

But seriously, notes help.

Haha, I love that video. & thanks guys, I've got all the help I need now.

We had a test in seventh grade where it was 3 "a" answers, then 3 "b", then 3 "c", then 3 "d".

Then it got random.
