• Make sure you understand all mistakes made!

• Collect all of your notes and homework from the chapter/sections so that you are organized and ready to study.
  
• Make up a practice test/quiz from problems in your notes/homework. Take this with no help at all! This enables you to realize what you need to focus your studies on.
  
• WORK THROUGH PROBLEMS!!! Do not look at problems only, this will do you no good!
  
• Study in groups…as long as they are working study groups as opposed to chatty ones!
