Appraising My Test Taking Skills Essay Research

Paper

The advantages of my test taking skills are effectiveness,organization, and good review tools. Thus, the disadvantages are manageable review time and strategy planning. I find myself mostly “stuck” on planning a strategy.

Before I began to prepate for a test, I would first make sure that my notes are organized as well as accurate. Then, I transfer my most difficult questions onto 3Ч5 flash cards. Last but least, I collect all of the notes and study it the night before the test.

I know that the key to successful test preparation is managing review time. However, when it comes to daily or weekly reviews, I find my research not sinking into my brain. So, I use another alternative, whic is planning a strategy. This technique works for me solo,but I cannot find it being helpful during testing. I guess I predict the wrong level of questions on my practice test.

I try to use all test taking techniques to my advantage as an effective tool, but the agony of doing reviews throughout the week seem stressful to me. The study list and flash cards, I use, comes in handy when I cannot get my mind to focus right. That is why I cannot seem to use a good strategy technique. Though, I am always ready for a test no matter how I get it done!
