Do the exam review, review ALL your tests/assessments (quizzes, labs, assignments), past homework
questions, test review questions, and review your notes. Study with a partner/small group and talk
things out. It is imperative that you study a little bit each day leading up to the exam to be successful.
You WILL NOT be as successful if you wait until the last few days before the exam to study. Please see me
at any time if you have questions, need clarification, or need help (do not wait until the last minute to
do so either).
