Melanie Lewis prepares a student for her test at HCC's Learning Support Services Testing Area.
Think
about this…..When you sit down to eat a meal, do you eat all of your food in
one bite, or do you enjoy your meal and taste all of the flavors?
If you
eat your food in one bite, you may get choked.
It works
the same way with testing……If you study only on the night before the test, most
likely you are going to choke on the test.
How to
study and make sure your studying is a success:
1.
Continually
review class materials. The more you actively read over them, the more you will
understand them.
2. Visit
the Learning Support Services drop-in lab for assistance.
3. Form
a Study Group; there is power in numbers.
4.
Keep a positive attitude while you are prepping for your test. (Good thoughts
make life better.)
5.
Take a
break during your study time and walk around the block. Haywood Community
College has the most beautiful campus around;
enjoy it.
6.
Make
sure you get a good night’s rest before the test.
7.
Eat a
light, but filling meal so your body is full and energized. (Think of it this
way, you cannot drive your car when it’s out of gas.)
What to
do for TEST DAY:
1.
Make
sure you use the restroom before entering the Learning Support Services Testing
Center. (This will help with the thinking process.)
2.
Hard
Candy or Gum may help to keep you calm. (Be Courteous and don’t chomp on the
gum.)
3.
Bring
your student or photo ID to the testing center.
4.
Sign-in
and lock up your cell phone in the locker that is provided for you in the
testing center.
5.
Take a
deep breath. Oxygen is good for the brain.
6.
Enter
the testing room quietly and place your personal belongings on the shelving
under the windows. Take a seat in your reserved station.
7.
Read the
directions slowly and carefully (VERY IMPORTANT).
8.
Write
down all formulas and key information that maybe on the test while it’s fresh
on your mind.
9.
Double
check and make sure you have answered all of the test questions.
It’s MIDTERM time…..Make sure you call for a
testing appointment at 828-627-4696.
Also, you still have time to get some extra
FREE help at LEARNING SUPPORT SERVICES. Make time and drop in the lab.
Monday-Thursday 9am-7pm
Friday 9am-4pm
