Last modified: September 6, 2022
You are here:

Use the weekend to reinforce what you studied over the week.

Suggested strategies

  • Clarify and connect information that you missed.
  • When using supplemental resources to clarify the material, limit the number of your resources to those that work best for you.
  • Improve organization of material.
  • Review material by using recall technique, creating your own questions, and answering practice questions.
  • Create your own questions. Learn more about self-questioning by reading, How Do You Know that You Know.
  • Answer practice questions, and restudy what you missed.
  • Instructors might provide practice questions at the end of lectures, or you can find them in your textbooks or review books.
  • You can review material in a study group or with a classmate.
  • Quiz each other and teach others. Explaining concepts, finding examples, asking and answering questions will help you to learn more effectively than just reading and highlighting the text.
