Tips to Help Study for Online Tests

Online school is hard and time-consuming. I miss being able to study with friends and asking teachers questions. The new online school life style has changed my study routine up. If you need to change your study routine, these tips could guide you in to reaching your full potential at school.

Make a list of all the concepts on the test

Make sure to include all possible topics you could be tested on. Highlight the concepts you are struggling in, so you can review them more extensively compared to other concepts.

Set 45 minute Focus Time

I study in 45 minute sets. I study for 45 minutes and follow with a 5 minute break. After my break, I review the concepts I learned in the 45 minute break or do practice problems for about 20 minutes. I begin my next 45 minute set and continue until with the sets until I am contempt.

Drink Water

Drink water. It allows you to focus and keep yourself hydrated. Drinking water makes you more attentive and fresh. Keep drinking water.

Watch videos

I watch videos and take notes on concepts I struggle on. It is easier to watch videos to learn a concept than reading an article. Watching the concept allows me to grasp it easier.

Change positions

I always change positions to keep my attention. Sitting in one spot can get your body restless. I change positions every 45 minute period.

Dance or Stretch breaks

Sitting in one spot can cause you to become fidgety. When you feel extremely tired and need a pick me up, play your favorite up beat song and dance to it. Dancing increases your endorphins making you feel happier. You can also stretch if your muscles are becoming sore!

Make your own notes

I know it is time consuming, but this is my most important tip. After reviewing all the concepts, make a one or two page document filled with important notes or formulas that you have to remember. You can review this one page document before you take your test to refresh all the knowledge.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
