MR. CROCKETT'S TEST TIPS:
=Read the CHAPTER!
=Try to answer the questions at the end of each section - do you know the answers? This is something you can do on your own. If you want me to look it over, I will!
=Look over your outlines (you did them for points, use them to your advantage - - - Study with them)! You should have key terms and people on your outline - my test has key terms and people!!!
=Think back to the activities in class - What were they about?
Why did we do them? What was the point?
=Make flashcards from the vocabulary - most of the test deals with vocabulary and important people/concepts! I will put flashcards on this site - it will be in BLUE at the top of the page.
=Review EVERY NIGHT (not just the day before the test- your late!!!) - Study the information we covered in class - then you do not have to cram! Daily review will help store the information in your long-term memory! You will feel more confident the more you review! The test will will seem easier because of all YOUR hard work!!!
