Tips to Help Study for Online Tests

In This Article:

Online school is hard and time-consuming. I miss being able to study with friends and asking teachers questions. The new online school life style has changed my study routine up. If you need to change your study routine, these tips could guide you in to reaching your full potential at school.

Make a list of all the concepts on the test

Make sure to include all possible topics you could be tested on. Highlight the concepts you are struggling in, so you can review them more extensively compared to other concepts.

Set 45 minute Focus Time

I study in 45 minute sets. I study for 45 minutes and follow with a 5 minute break. After my break, I review the concepts I learned in the 45 minute break or do practice problems for about 20 minutes. I begin my next 45 minute set and continue until with the sets until I am contempt.

Drink Water

Drink water. It allows you to focus and keep yourself hydrated. Drinking water makes you more attentive and fresh. Keep drinking water.

Watch videos

I watch videos and take notes on concepts I struggle on. It is easier to watch videos to learn a concept than reading an article. Watching the concept allows me to grasp it easier.

Change positions

I always change positions to keep my attention. Sitting in one spot can get your body restless. I change positions every 45 minute period.

Dance or Stretch breaks

Sitting in one spot can cause you to become fidgety. When you feel extremely tired and need a pick me up, play your favorite up beat song and dance to it. Dancing increases your endorphins making you feel happier. You can also stretch if your muscles are becoming sore!

Make your own notes

I know it is time consuming, but this is my most important tip. After reviewing all the concepts, make a one or two page document filled with important notes or formulas that you have to remember. You can review this one page document before you take your test to refresh all the knowledge.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
