The best way to prepare for an exam is to actually practice what you will be expected to do on an exam. The secret to self-testing is understanding WHY and HOW you are getting each answer and making sure you aren't just stuck on auto-pilot.
This DOES NOT mean that you need to make a literal practice exam every time you have an exam. Often times it can be as easy as finding sample questions from your textbook or improving one of your current study methods!
Places you can find example problems:
- Notes from lecture
- Homework
- Textbook
- Quizzes
Check out the graphic below for some ways to introduce more self-testing into your routine.
