How do you Know What to Study for exams?

Answer 1

Good question - there are several ways to know what's going to be on your exams. * Course Syllabus. Sometimes the teacher will give you an outline of what is going to be taught, and you can use that to figure out what sections are going to be on what test. * Textbook. Generally, if something is in bold print in the book, it's important enough to be on an exam. The practice questions in the textbook also give you a good idea of what the teacher might ask. * Your Notes. If you write down what the teacher stresses in class, and copy the definitions from your textbook into your notes, you'll have a great way of figuring out what's going to be tested. * Practice Tests. If you are going to be taking a big test, like a national exam or a board exam or anything along those lines, you will be able to request practice tests from them. These will be old exams that you can use to help you get used to taking that test. Sometimes teachers will also let you copy old tests from previous years if you ask them.
