Do you know that when you take a test, you are not only being tested on your knowledge of a subject but on your test-taking techniques as well? Many students feel nervous about taking tests, and their anxiety reduces their ability to concentrate and recall information. After you study a subject, do you find you cannot recall much about it? If this has happened to you, the tips in this book can help you learn and hold onto the information you study. Where, when, and how you study all affects your ability to recall information. When you take notes, do you try to include only the important things, or do you race to record everything your instructor says? In class, some students scribble away in their notebooks, only to find later that they cannot decipher the writing. Suppose you have received an assignment involving research. Where do you begin?
