Exam preparations are always different. For those who are facing upcoming tests, the task is not to study longer but to study smarter. There are some techniques offered by Prep101 that can be of great use for future students.

Firstly, students can learn to remember definitions. It is not necessary to read them again and again. It is enough to write them in your own words, come up with an example and check yourself whether you understand the meaning without looking at your notes. Flash cards and spaced repetition also may help.

Moreover, the technique called Cornell Note Taking Method is worth mentioning. This technique implies dividing a page into three parts. You write notes in the first section, questions in the second one and summarize everything briefly in the third part. When the lecture is over, you should review questions and retell the whole lesson from memory.

There are several aspects that a student should pay attention to when preparing for an exam. These aspects are choosing important concepts, reviewing mistakes that have been made previously and conducting short-term practices.
