Mr. Meyers’ Most Important Study Tips:
1. Don’t wait until the last minutę. Divide up the work, and study a portion each night. That way you only have to review the night before the exam.
2. Find a study partner! It’s not chcating, it’s smart! Do the work on your own First then comparc and discuss with someone you trust!
3. Concentrate on the essay and ID's First. You will have scen most of the multiplc-choicc qucstions.
4. SEE ME IF YOU NEED HELP! I can stay after school or meet during lunch if you need cxtra help.
How to Study for the Multiple Choice: For the multiple choice, review former tests in class.
