- study a little bit each day - at least 1 hour but no more than 3
- study a variety of topics and questions every day instead of all from 1 section on one day, and then all of a different section on another

- use your resources
- you have all of your old quizzes and assignments
- use them for practice by covering over the answers, doing the question and then checking it
- each chapter has mid-unit review and end of unit review - use these questions for more practice
- purchase a Key Booklet

- Make a summary sheet (not a cheat sheet)
- list the most important things to remember from each unit on the sheet such as
