The Exam Prep Check List

I have made a summary sheet and memorized the necessary formulas, definitions, laws, & theorems.

I formed a study group with at least one other person in the class.

I re-did (circle:) ALL / MOST / SOME of the lecture examples

I re-did (circle:) ALL / MOST / SOME of the quiz problems

I re-did ALL / MOST / SOME of the graded HW problems

I corrected my errors on ALL / MOST / SOME of the non-graded homework problems .

I did ALL / MOST / SOME of the Chapter Review Exercises

I took the Practice Exam as if I was under real testing conditions. (and since old exams are not entirely indicative of the material I am responsible for, I know the content of the actual exam),

I re-did additional problems in areas where I needed extra practice.

I understand the problems that I did in this review to the point where I could teach the concepts to another student.

I’ve analyzed my past pattern of typical errors so I can be alert to them on the exam.

I’ve gotten 7-8 hours of sleep the two days prior to the exam.

I will arrive on time to the exam to avoid pre-exam jitters.

I will remain positive with myself during the exam and replace any negative thoughts with positive affirmations.

I will write out my formulas and key information at the top of the exam before beginning. 

I’ll carefully read the directions to all problems and circle significant words to avoid misinterpretation.

I will follow the do easy, mark medium, save hard approach to take the exam.

Upon finishing, I’ll check my answers, proofread for omission and check for my typical errors.

I’ll leave the exam and reward myself for a job well done!
