Professor's Exam Tips
Exam Prepartion,
assuming that this
preparation begins
before classes are over.
Ask questions of the professor or TA
if there is material that confuses you.
Study notes from class and any nota
tions you have made from the book
(keep them brief] daily. Many short ses
sions with the material is often more
effective than a few long sessions.
Be sure that each new bit of informa
tion is integrated, attached, connected to
other information you have learned in
the course. For any single bit of infor
mation in your notes, you should be able
to think of several other places in the
course where it relates. Preparing for
the final exam is the ideal time to solid
ify these connections.
Study with others. If you just talk
about the material, you will learn more.
Attend Supplemental Instruction ses
sion when they are available. Data show
that students who attend these sessions

make higher scores on the tests.
Understand that there are many lev
els of knowing. You may completely
know the material in the sense that you
could recite it back, but not be able to
use the material to evaluate or predict
or analyze. It is this more complex type
of knowing that will be important on the
tests.
Check old tests whereever they are
available, on the web or the library to
practice test-taking. Do not use the old
tests as a study guide. Take advantage of
any other out-of-class resources recom
mended.
Do your best to look after yourself
and stay healthy since exams are stress
ful times and stress means you are more
vulnerable to illnesses.%

covered in the text. I would advise
studying/practicing as follows:
the 3 tests taken this fall,
the 4 tests in the course pack from
Spring, 1998 semester,
the 4 tests in the course pack from
Summer, 1996 semester,
the 13 chapter quizzes in the course
pack,
the summary of learning objectives at
the end of each chapter in the text,
the 8 pages in the glossary starting on
page 775 (G 1 through G 8),
and the summary problem for review
at the end of each chapter in the text.
This is the suggested priority list, in
order. I hope this provides you some
direction
Scott Schwartz’s
Psych 10 final exam.
As with my other exams, I recom
mend starting with your notes for a par
ticular topic, studying that, and then
review the comparable section in the
book. This will help you integrate the
information and make sure you under-

stand the concepts. Do not just memo
rize, but make sure you understand the
examples and how the theories apply to
day to day life. It can be helpful to gen
erate your own and discuss them with
classmates to double check that you do
understand the material.
As far as studying the text, use the
review questions in the margin to guide
your studying. The answers in the back
are not necesarily sufficient; therefore,
make sure you have read the sections
and can answer the questions on your
own. This will help ensure that you are
taking the main points away from the
reading.
Focus your studying on the new mate
rial. The review sheet will provide you
with the items from earlier in the semes
ter you need to know, but the majority
of the final will be on material since the
last midterm.
Specifics of material will be provided
on your review sheet, but like with pre
vious comments, you should be able to
apply the information and recognize
examples that occur in daily life.
Because finals periods can be stressful
and overwhelming, I recommend that
you do your best to stagger your study
ing. I suggest that you divide your day
into studying sessions, a morning, am
afternoon, and an evening for example,
and take breaks between and do some
thing relaxing. Marathon study sessions
are not more effective and if anything

can cause you to not perform as well
because the information all runs togeth
er. Try to not start studying too late, as
this will also take some of the time pres
sure off of you. Again, 1 emphasize
including relaxing activities into your
studying to give yourself a break and
you will be fresher before exams.
Make sure you get a good night’s
sleep (do not believe that pulling an all
nighter will help you) and make sure to
eat a good meal before the exam.
Chem 11 Study Tips
(Pedersen Section)
1. If you came to class regularly, then
setting up homework, old test, book
exercises without looking at the solu
tions will be useful. Focus on under
standing rather than memorization.
2. If you skipped regularly, then
prayer, voodoo or alternative medicines
might help in some way. Herbal teas
and TM may do it for you.
3. Bring questions on Chapter 10 to
the review session the night before the
final
4. Get a full night’s sleep the evening
before the final. No zombie has ever
passed a chemistry test; many have
tried.
5. Bring a self addressed and
