Everyone gets ready for a test in their own way. Set up a study area that suits your learning style. Use tools like index cards, paper, or a notes app on your computer to stay organized. Repeat what you learn. Make a quiz or an outline to focus on the main ideas. Remember to take breaks.

Tips:
1. Instead of re-reading notes, quiz yourself regularly.
2. If you can explain a concept clearly to a friend or even to youself out loud, you really understand it.
3. Practice old exams or sample questions under timed conditions.

Hi Samuel,
Studying for a test can be daunting but if you break it down, it’s doable!
- For questions you don’t know the answer to, go back and review them at least once.
- If you are a visual learner, try flash cards or use a study buddy who can review flash cards with you.
- Study for 20 minutes, then rest for 10. Think of the break as a reward for your focus.
- Figure out your best study time. Whether it's night or morning, use your natural rhythm to your benefit.

Hope these tips help!
