Familiarize yourself with the format, layout and structure of your text books and source materials
Organize these with your class notes for speedy retrieval, and index ideas and concepts with pointers and/or page numbers in the source material (Develop a system of tabs/sticky notes, color coding, concept maps, etc. to mark important summaries, headings, sections)
Write short, manageable summaries of content
List out data and formulas separately for easy access

Test taking:
Read the questions carefully to understand what is expected.
Quickly review the number of questions and note how much time each could take.
First answer the questions that you are confident of and/or for which you will not need much time checking out the resources.
Leave more complex and difficult questions for later
Don't over-answer
Aim for concise, accurate, thoughtful answers that are based in evidence.
