Studying for Exams

Jun 24, 2016
By John Williams

Studying for exams should not be a two week endeavour during May or June.  The preparation for exams begins in September and continues the entire school year.  How you organize and keep your notes throughout the school year will have a great impact on what you have to study from come exam time.   Too often our academic coaches see students who do not have the appropriate materials to from which to study.  Missing and/or incomplete notes provide little help to a student who is trying to review content learned three or four or even six months earlier.

With StudySpot, our academic coaches show students how to organize their notes and encourage them to review their notes on a regular basis throughout the year.  Effective note-taking techniques, can also greatly increase the students ability to understand and remember information.  By developing good organization and note-taking habits, a student can reduce the need for last minute cramming or content tutoring.
