Helpful Suggestions
|
It is best to use the study and test taking technique that has worked best for you. However, it is suggested that you continue to
improve you current techniques by examining other techniques for ideas, and hence we have included this section.
We suggest you first know the objectives of a lesson and scan through for the general concepts before learning the details. After learning the details, review the material regularly to keep it fresh in your memory. Study at a quiet and comfortable location without distractions and make sure all study materials are present before you start. Do not study in a bed. Although our material is detailed and have all necessary information, it is a good idea to take notes. Your notes should include the summary and important points of the lesson. Review your notes several times until you feel that you understand the material very well. Do not memorize unecessarily. Do not try to study for long hours. Space out your study time to a maximum of one hour intervals, and do not study when you are tired or sleepy. Do the practice quizes at the end of each section right after you have studied the section. Once you have gone through all the lessons in all the subjects, do a thorough review. If you study with others, it is important that they are focused and that they demonstrate a determination to succeed. You may buy some of the extra study materials listed below. However our realistic interactive practice tests and lessons are the best resouces for passing the TEAS. |
