I study for exams to be prepared. Skimming and scanning my reading notes makes it easier to remember. I make sure I keep a dictionary handy when I read. Then I can look up the meaning of any word I don't know.

Rule Cards
Rule cards can be a very useful study aid for students in any grade. They can be used in any subject. A rule card simply consists of a rule on the front side and one or two examples of the rule on the back. Students can add examples throughout the school year. By carrying the rule cards with them, students can gain mastery of the rules through frequent review.
Selective Attention
Students are apt to do many things in class that you do not approve of. You can go crazy trying to respond to everything. Some of these things can be ignored without negative consequences. Save your energy for those things that have to be attended to.
