Cornell Notes

     Taking Cornell notes helps you to prioritize and organize your notes to make it easier to study with. The way it works is, there are three small portions at the top, bottom, and left of the page, and the main portion on the right. At the top, you make a title for your notes, and it should include things like your name and the subject. On the right is where the bulk of your notes should be. On the left you should write down the more important part of your notes, like main themes, dates, or equations. Finally, at the bottom of your notes, write a short summary of what you learned. I think that if I made an effort to incorporate this method into my studying, I could be using it a lot.

1. My favorite part of high school is that it makes me feel a bit more grown-up. It makes me seem closer to other parts of my future, like learning to drive or going to college.

2. The part of high school that has frustrated me the most is running club. It is just after PE, so I am already sweating and tired by the time we begin. In addition, it means that I don't get started on my homework until around 4:45.

3. So far I have kept the same study habits that I used when I was in eighth grade last year.

4. I am excited to be taking English with Miss Low. I enjoy her as a teacher and I look forward to be reading books like Lord of the Flies and the Screwtape Letters.

5. I am not enjoying being a student aide. I am currently working with Mr. Hackbarth in fourth grade. The fact that all of the students are younger than me makes me feel out of place.

6. I can see that I am given a lot more responsibility in high school than in junior high. I like this because more responsibility means more freedom.

How To Prepare For Exams

     In the month leading up to your final exams, make sure that you are caught up on all of your assigned work. Remember to take very thorough notes. Do not cram all of your studying until the last second. Instead, study from 60-90 minutes each day. Creating and completing a mock test is very helpful as well. You can do this by looking in your textbooks for questions that didn't get answered in your class. Try to complete your mock test without using your textbook or notes. Try not to multitask while you are studying. If you have any questions about what will be on the test, remember to ask your teacher for help.      https://www.stlawu.edu/academic-support/how-should-i-prepare-tests-and-final-exams

Good Test Taking Habits

     When you are about to take a test or quiz, make sure to be prepared. Study for the test beforehand will help to make sure you know the material, and getting a good night's sleep will help you to better retain the information. As the teacher is handing out the test, listen closely for any instruction, so you know what is expected of you. When you get the test, read over it first so you know how long long it is. If you read through something that you don't understand, ask the teacher about it. Make sure to stay calm and relax if you are stuck on a question; chances are that the answer will come back to you. If that doesn't work, skip over the question and come back to it later. Once you are done, look over the test again and see if you missed any questions or if you made any obvious mistakes. https://kidshealth.org/en/teens/testing-tips.htm https://quizlet.com/_8saxs8?x=1qqt&i=35bn8e https://create.kahoot.it/v2/details/30de90b7-237c-4ebd-b13e-d7c7f35ad97b
