I got a big exam coming up next month and I need some tips from KTT's finest test takers. What's your methods? How do prepare? How you get better?

I'm not a terrible test taker, but I get performance anxiety sometimes and be wasting precious time second guessing myself.

Really basic s*** but you gotta have a good nights sleep before the test.
Drink some water,eat something light.
Take in the moment,breathe slowly

Well my method is first guess how much time you'll need to prepare properly for your exam. Then as that first day starts, put in an hour or so, you know? I always start slow because I don't really study except for when exams approach (Procrastination and all that you know, unfortunately) so I got to warm my brain up for what's to come. But Newton's first law, right? An object in motion wants to stay in motion. But first you gotta get your brain in motion. Next day do 2 hours or so. Slowly ramp it up. I usually cap it at 4-5 hours a day unless I feel I need to do more to make it. Every 10 minutes I usually do something else for 5 minutes.

Depends on the kind of test.

Generally speaking, don't cram.
Be prepared and used space repetition to remember what you need to.

During the test, check how many questions there are before you start so you know how much time you can spend on average on each question. Also your first answer is usually the right answer. Make sure you read the questions right.

Amazing test taker.

Never really studied tho so.i guess just take notes

When you’re studying, take notes, check the textbook for study guides, if it’s a regular book look online for synopses. Pick out terms and key concepts

During the test, answer everything you definitely know first. For multiple choice questions narrow down the answers you know are wrong. Look through the whole test for any kind of clues about other answers.

If it’s an online test, there’s probably a quiz let with all of the answers. Just copy paste the question and you’ll find it.

Simple man, just make sure you know the material and youll be good

If you dont know it thats your fault

I gotta forfeit the test if I leave the testing room for any reason So no water

I study for 6 hours, but space my time out throughout the day and use the pomodoro method. Good results on my practice exams but I feel I could do even better.

This really a cheat code Wording of the questions be f***ing me up

don't promote cheating

Yeah, I need to start taking better notes. Imma visual learners so that would come in clutch

Well i skipped hella school and my lowest test grade was like a 76 or something so yeah im pretty good, i dont prepare i just pay attention in class and am good at process of elimination. Idk if ur in high-school or what but the test reviews always made it easy asf for me to pass just gotta pay very close attention

nah

Dont have to have water with you.
Just drink a glass or two before the test.

Try to stay positive that you're gonna pass the test
Its stupid but convincing yourself that you can pass it will guide you a long way.

Good luck man

Basically this but also like many other already said take notes because they can come in clutch when you have a ton of s*** to study, studying your notes is faster than studying books plus writing down s*** helps memorizing it

Nah Imma grown man lol. HS ingrained bad testing habits in me that Im tryna break. For example got me overthinking too much.

Eat lots of protein the morning of the exam. Eggs, sausage, bacon, chicken all solid choices. Try to take practice exams too if they're available and make sure you're timing yourself and pacing correctly.

Yeah definitely. I've never studied straight from a book, just other people's summaries which were very concise. Whatever I can't remember, I take notes of on a seperate sheet of paper so I can easily cram that.

Also make sure you write your notes down on paper. You'll remember them way better (as opposed to typing). Muscle memory of writing the correct answer goes a long way

No. Every test I take is 20% thinking about the test and 80% daydreaming about random s***

Preciate it. And Peace and Blessings to You Man.

If you waste time second guessing yourself, you should set aside like 10-15 mins at the end to double check yourself. Thats how i got a perfect ACT
