Here’s a five-day program that can help your teen prepare more effectively for tests: Four days before, gather notes, handouts and quizzes about the material covered. Three days before, read everything over. Make flash cards and a list of questions that might be on the test. Two days before, review the textbook. Make notes about how you would answer possible test questions. The day before, test yourself. Can you write the facts or apply the formulas? Get a good night’s sleep. On test day, review notes.
