Start Studying in School

Studying for tests and quizzes actually starts way before you even know you'll have a test. Good study techniques begin in the classroom as you . Note-taking is a way of remembering what you were taught or what you've read about.

Some keys to note-taking are to write down facts that a teacher mentions or writes on the board during class. If you miss something, ask your teacher to go over facts with you after class. Other keys to good note-taking are keeping notes organized by subject and making sure they're easy to read and review. (This may mean that you need to recopy some notes at home or during a free period while the class is still fresh in your mind.)

Unfortunately, most schools don't have classes that teach you how to take note. When it comes to taking good notes, it can take some experimenting to figure out what works, so don't give up.
