For example, at the end of a study session, put all of your material away, except for the questions you have created, and then see if you can answer those questions as a way to test what you have learned. Then add those questions to a bigger list of test questions you have created that you can use for review.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on your instructor, you might look to your course syllabus or lecture slides for learning objectives or outcomes. It\u2019s there that you\u2019ll figure out if you\u2019re expected to understand concepts (for example, being able to describe, classify, or identify them), or are you trying to make connections between ideas (be able to compare, contrast, or apply ideas), or are you expected to be able to extend your thinking (for example, be able to argue, review, critique, or formulate new ideas). Becoming familiar with the kinds of thinking that you\u2019re expected to demonstrate about the material you\u2019re learning can help you to create good exam questions.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_id=&#8221;Strategy3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#F0F0F0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;Study in increments&#8221; use_icon=&#8221;on&#8221; font_icon=&#8221;&#xe058;||divi||400&#8243; icon_placement=&#8221;left&#8221; content_max_width=&#8221;1100px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_level=&#8221;h2&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;|0px||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|10px|0px|10px|false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-10px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px||15px|false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]Try to start studying now. Do not wait until exam season to try to cram in all of your studying. Instead, try to distribute your studying across the weeks in short 1-to-2-hour studying intervals. What this will do is give your brain more opportunities to encounter concepts and retrieve what you already know to help strengthen those neural pathways, so then when it comes time to do the exam, it\u2019s much easier to retrieve that information.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;31px|||||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; global_module=&#8221;254169&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_row module_id=&#8221;book&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#F5AA1C&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_cta title=&#8221;To learn more about this topic and to get help&#8221; button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/uvic.mywconline.com\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Book an appointment&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#002754&#8243; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#005493&#8243; button_bg_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Book a <strong>free<\/strong> in-person or online appointment with an academic skills advisor at the Academic Skills Centre!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is never too early to start studying!
