Exam Prep

I have always had trouble with my preparation with large exams and essays due in my most difficult classes. In order to improve my test preparation skills, I decided to use the 20 Minutes Test Prep method for two of my most challenging classes: Human Sexuality and Hebrew. In Human Sexuality, I have a midterm coming up so I decided to use the 20 Minute Test Prep in order to manage my time better and reviewed multiple chapters two to three times a week. I started my review two weeks prior to the exam and left the final two days before the exam before the final review.

In my Hebrew class, I have a large accumulative exam coming up in vocabulary and grammar and I also used my 20 Minute Test Prep. This is by far my most difficult class. I designed a study schedule for my Hebrew exam in which I separated the chapters and made note cards. I made 10 practice mock test questions that were related to the Hebrew grammar from chapters 4, 6, and 7. I also made an answer sheet with details reasons of why the correct answer was correct.

One major flaw in my study habits has always been anticipating proper test questions. Through the completion of the 20 Minute Test Prep, I learned how to predict test questions better by thinking like the professor, reading my syllabus, and understanding the notes he or she took on Blackboard. I understand that Human Sexuality and Hebrew are both fact-based. This really helped too.

Overall, I felt like the 20 Minute Test Prep has been my best form of studying. I was able to focus more on my subject and concentrate on particular chapters rather than being overwhelmed with the entire upcoming exams. In the future, I would like to usea post-exam review to further my study habits and gain a better understanding of exam material that has already been covered.
