Test Prep That Works: Strategies for Success

Effective test prep is more than just memorization. Start with the test framework to understand what’s being assessed. Break it into weekly study goals. Use active recall—practice questions, flashcards, and explaining concepts out loud.

Try brain dumps: Before each study session, write out everything you know about a topic. Then fill in gaps with notes and readings.

Tip: Create a 6-week calendar with daily goals and mix up review methods (videos, reading, group study).
