Predicting test questions is an excellent way to prepare for test and reduce test anxiety.

Understanding the types of questions is the first step, some common question formats are:

¤Objective questions = true-false, multiple choice, and matching

¤Recall questions = fill-in-the-blank, listings, definitions, short answers, and problem solving

¤Essay questions  - retrieve the information from memory, organize it, and use effective writing skills to respond

Predicting questions is even easier after you have taken one or two tests from a specific instructor and have a sense of the types of tests he or she uses.

Summary notes are specific notes that include information that you need to review further before the day of the test.

Summary notes can be: lists, comparison charts, outlines, flashcards, visual mappings or hierarchies, or Cornell notes.

Summary notes differ from regular notes because they do not include all information, particularly information and concepts you already know.
