Some points to pay special attention to when studying are provided below. General tips for doing well on a test:  READ THE QUESTION CAREFULLY. Before selecting an answer, make sure that you have carefully read the question. This may seem obvious, but students often skim questions and miss crucial details that are needed to select an answer.  On multiple choice questions, NEVER CHANGE YOUR ANSWER unless you are sure that your initial selection is wrong. Our brains are pretty miraculous things. Even if we don’t remember things outright, more often than not, that 1 st knee-jerk reaction to a question is your brain subconsciously remembering something that was said or that you read.  Put an answer in for all questions!!!!! You never know, you might get it right! You are GUARANTEED to get the answer wrong if you leave it blank!
