How Do You Study For Tests and Improve Your Math Scores?

The most powerful learning experiences often result from making mistakes". One of my favorite strategies to improve math scores and to study for tests includes looking at my previous errors and determining where I've gone wrong before and how I can learn from it. School is a full-time job. And managing your time is important. If you have a "real" job after school that you do just for fun (or for some extra spending money), or if you participate in extra-curricular activities (whether school-related or not), keep your priorities in mind. Study hard subjects first. Each night (or day) when studying or doing your homework, do those subjects first for which you need to be alert and energetic. Leave the easier, or more fun, subjects to later. Read Texts Actively & Slowly, before & after Class. Right about now, you're probably asking yourself whether you really have to do all of this. It seems like an awful lot of work. Well, of course, you don't have to do all of it at once. Try various of these suggestions to see what works for you. Try some variations that may better fit your learning style or personal circumstances. But, in the long run, there's no quick and easy road to studying. It is hard work and should take a lot of time. (So, do you really have to do all of this? Yes (or things very much like them)—if you want to really learn the material (and get good grades).
