What Can One Do To Prepare For Tests

With students getting ready to take end of the semester exams I thought it would be appropriate to share some tidbits on Test Taking Skills:

(Please feel free to add any that you have found helpful preparing for tests)

1. Time Management: Prepare daily, have a study schedule, put information in manageable chunks

2. Make a Plan: Set a goal, use a tape recorder for notes

3. Create Study Aids: Flash cards, chapter outlines, maps

4. Organize a Study group: share notes, combine resources

Quote for the day....

"Just as we look different from one another and have different kinds of personalities we also have different kinds of minds" (Checkley, 1997, p.9).
Each ADHD student should have an individualized program to help them succeed
in school.
