In order to reduce the stress caused by my most difficult class,
earth science, I created a Test Success Strategy. The first step in
my strategy is my 15-minute nightly cram. Every evening I spend
15 minutes reviewing the day's notes. I read them aloud, rewrite
them, or draw pictures that reflect the material. Two days before a
test, I complete the online practice test. This helps me identify the
information I need to study a little more. The night before the test, I
review my notes several times by reading them aloud. Finally, on
test days, I eat a brain-boosting breakfast like blueberry oatmeal.
Once the teacher places the test in front of me, I take a deep
breath and stay confident that my hard work will help me do my
best.
