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
