MATH STUDY TIPS
  • Repetition is important in math. You learn how to solve problems by doing them so keep on practice problems but don't do it blindly. 
  • Make sure you learn how to recognize when/why you should use a specific method to solve a problem.
  • Work on practice problems for each topic ranging in levels of difficulty.
  • Mix up the order of the questions from various topics when you are reviewing so you'll learn when to use a specific method/formula.
  • Make up a sheet with all the formulas you need to know and memorize all the formulas on the sheet.
ASSESSMENT TEST TIPS

ADMINISTRATOR
  • Ensure your cell phone is on silent
  • Ensure you have what you need to test: Pencil, ...
  • Test is multiple choice
  • Mark your answers A, B, C, or D on the answer sheet
  • Review how to properly fill in an answer bubble
  • Test should take about 15 minutes
  • Write your name on your answer sheet
  • There are 2 practice questions (will be reviewed allowed in class) and 5 test questions
  • Do not open the test booklet until instructed to do so
  • Once test begins you should work by yourself - no talking, no helping another student
  • (test are graded and answers discussed in class)
TEST
  • Mark your answers only on the answer sheet
  • Do NOT write in the test booklet
  • Use scratch paper to do you work if needed
  • Use number 2 pencil only
  • Try to answer the question
  • Choose the ONE best answer
  • If you want to change an answer, be sure to erase the first mark completely
  • If you don't know an answer, you can skip it 
  • You may not use a calculator
TEST TAKING TIPS - for Multiple Choice
Your Priorities:
1. Your first priority is finishing all the work that you instantly know. That means, even if you run out of time, you’ve taken all of the easy points.
2. Your second priority is answering those tough questions and making big guesses. This is where most of your test time should go.
3. You want to review all your work and make sure to keep track of all the points you scored.
  • Use your scrap paper for an information guide
    • When you get your scrap paper, write down key formulas and information so you can reffer to them easily throughout your test. 
  • Work at a good pace
    • When you can answer the question instantly, you shouldn’t waste any extra time lingering on the question. Answer it and move on.
    • If you get too invested trying to dig into your brain to verify your answers then you may be asking for trouble. The psychology of the whole situation changes. When you’re moving quickly you’re creating confidence in your answers. When you slow down to think about it, you’re encouraging doubt and second guessing.
  • Read the question carefully before you look at the answer.
    • whenever questions are based on a reading or picture, skip ahead and read the questions first. The questions tell you what to look for in the reading or picture. Knowing what to look for helps you focus your attention and find the answers more quickly
    • Don't forget to answer all parts of the question.
  • Try to answer the question before looking at the answer choices.
    • When you read a question, think about it without looking at the answer choices. 
    • When you come up with an answer, you'll know for certain that it's correct if it's one of the choices listed. 
    • If your answer isn't listed, you'll need to look at the question again.
  • Read all the choices before choosing your answer.
  • Eliminate answers you know aren't right.
    • Even when you're not certain that you have the right answer, you can usually eliminate one or more wrong answers. Narrowing down your choices makes it easier to figure out the correct answer. 
    • When you're choosing between two answers instead of four, you're more focused.
    • Multiple choice exams have more to do with eliminating the wrong answers than finding the right answers. This may not instantly make sense but consider this:
    • There are 3 wrong answers and 1 right answer. It’s often easier to recognize 3 wrong answers than recognizing the single right answer.
    • There are unlimited ways an answer can be wrong. It’s easier to disprove an answer than it is to prove an answer. Disproving an answer is also a lot easier stress wise.
    • When you’re not confident that you know the correct answer to a question, it’s time to slow down. You should try to rule out the answers that you know aren’t correct.
  • Make estimates for your answers... 
  • e.g. if you are asked to answer 48 x 12 = ?, you could expect a number around 500 but if you end up with an answer around 5000, you'll know you did something wrong.
  • If there is no guessing penalty, always take an educated guess and select an answer.
    • Know how to guess
    • Guessing is not just picking an answer. 
    • Use some logical deduction to figure out what's probably the right answer, even if you don't know for sure. 
    • Techniques like focusing on key words and phrases, estimating, and comparing answers to each other can help make more of your guesses correct answers.
    • LONG ANSWER: Usually the correct answer is the choice with the most information. Correct answers tend to be longer answers because right answers often require qualifiers. Teachers need to make correct answers unambiguously correct
    • SIMILAR ANSWER: If you notice two or three of the potential answers are related to each other (or exact opposites) then you can bet one of them is correct.
    • GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT: Check whether the answer you’re selecting is grammatically correct with the question. If the question ended with “an” and a blank then you should expect the answer to start with a vowel. If the questions was looking for a plural, make sure your answer is plural.
  • ALL or NONE
    • In "All of the above" and "None of the above" choices, 
    • if you are certain one of the statements is true don't choose "None of the above" 
    • or one of the statements are false don't choose "All of the above".
    • In a question with an "All of the above" choice, if you see that at least two correct statements, then "All of the above" is probably the answer.
    • A positive choice is more likely to be true than a negative one.
  • Skip The Tough Ones And Big Guesses
    • The first time you go through a test you shouldn’t be getting hung up on any questions. If you think a question requires a little thinking (or you know you don’t know it) then skip it. Save it until you’ve completed all the easier questions on the test.
    • Difficult questions are a breeding ground for doubt. These doubts can ruin your ability to answer the easier questions you run into later. It’s better to save that doubt until you’ve already dealt with the easy stuff.
    • If you don't know the answer, come back to it after you finish the rest of the test and make an educated guess. Other parts of the test may give you clues to what the answer may be.
  • Place a Certainty Mark if permitted
    • You could mark all the questions with a symbol to assist with reviewing at the end of the test
    • + = you  are positive you got it right
    • - = you not sure and may want to rework and/or confirm the answer
  • Don't keep on changing your answer, usually your first choice is the right one, unless you misread the question.
    • Second guessing is okay but when you first pick up your test, it’s much better to just get your gut reactions on the page.
  • Check over your test after you are done with it.
    •  If you have time, redo the problems on a separate piece of paper and see if you come up with the same answers the second time around. Look for careless mistakes such as making sure the decimal is in the right place, that you read the directions correctly, that you copied the numbers correctly, that you put a negative sign if it is needed, that your arithmetic is correct and so on.
    • In my experience, about 5-10% of questions will give you a good clue of the answer somewhere else on the test. If you don’t know the answer to a question then look for other related questions elsewhere on the test.

MILK/Dairy is rich in tryptophan, a sleep-inducing substance. Milk is also high in calcium a chemicical which is extracted from your bones while you sleep.
4:00 PM
5:00 PMDINNER
5:30 PMDIM THE LIGHTS
Our brains have evolve pineal glands to produce melatonin when our eyes stop sensing light. Melatonin is a natural sleep inducing chemical. Artificial light at night delays the activation of the pineal gland and over time, makes it harder to produce melatonin, which (unlike exercise) makes it harder for you to sleep. So avoid using back-lit devices; such as, TV, tables, smartphone etc in bed.
6:00 PMSTOP ONLINE ACTIVITIES/ STOP EATING
your circadian rhythm (what coordinates your biological behavior with daily day & night cycles) can be manipulated by your eating schedule. Stop eating during the 12-16 hour period before you want to be awake. Once you start eating again, your internal clock will be reset as though it's the start of a new day. Your body will consider the time you break your fast as your new "morning"
7:00 PMBEDTIME ROUTINE
Get ready for tomorrow: ensure homework is complete, pack backpack, make lunch, ready clothes, plan breakfast, set alarms
Stepping out of a warm shower and into a cooler bedroom will cause a slight decrease in body temperature, which triggers a tranquil, drowsy feeling
Get into your comfy bedtime clothes
Enjoy your bedtime drink
Brush your teeth
Read

Exhale audibly through your mouth
(-4) close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to mental count of four
(-7) Hold your breath for a count of seven
(-8) Exhale audibly through your mouth to a count of eight
This is one breath. Now inhale again and repeat the cycle three more times for a total of four breaths
8:00 PMsleep 10 HOURS
9:00 PMsleep 9 HOURS
10:00 PMsleep 8 HOURS
11:00 PMsleep 7 HOURS
Studies show that 7-9 hours of sleep per night is optimal
12:00 AMsleep 6 HOURS
Avoid going to bed and waking up a different times
Be physically active each day
Exercise: The Earlier, The Better. Exercise increases body temperature for 4-5 hours and help keep your body awake.
Do not study in bed/ keep the bed as a sanctuary for sleep
Avoid eating to much protein at night. Protein is hard to digest, making it a good daytime food. Eaten at night, may disrupt your sleep cycle
Also avoid eating sugary sweets, juice or fruit before bed as it can spike blood sugar, boost your energy and you can wake up feeling hungry.
APPS
Smart Alarm: tracks your sleep cycle and uses a variety of different sound to make waking experience as comfortable and effective as possible
Math Alarm: won't let you hit that snooze button until you've solved a math problem, but by then your mind will most likely already be awake
Rise Alarm Clock: lets your own playlist to create your own wake-up sound. As a bonus, you can create going-to-sleep playlist for a nights sleep, too!

 Practice note taking/ handwriting

. Glasses/ microfiber cloth
. Note book
. Pencil
. Listen/ Focus on key words and concepts/ and write/sketch out the main topics

Identify the most relevant information. Write down individual words or key phrases that are most relevant to the topic at hand -- things like dates, names, theories, definitions -- only the most important details should make the cut. Eliminate all the filler words and secondary details -- if you wanted those things you could read a textbook.

Think about what you want to retain. Why are you taking the class? Why are you attending the seminar? Why did your employer send you to the conference? While it may be your first instinct to try to write down what you hear or see verbatim, you have to remember that you are taking notes in order to learn something from them -- you're not writing a novella.


Prioritize any "new" information. Don't waste time writing down information that you already know -- this is useless to you and just wastes time. Focus on writing down any new information that you've never learned before -- this will give you the most value from your note-taking.

. Reviewing your notes after class, or later the same day will help you to retain the information much more effectively and permit you to fill in any blanks while the information is fresh in you memory. You don't need to study them intensely -- just spend 15 to 20 minutes going back over them each night and you can spend this time making your notes more visual appealing: underline, draw, highlight, sketch, use symbols and diagrams. 

 . Note: studies have shown that students who take notes by hand vs. those that use a digital devise retain more information.

I give up = I'll use some of the strategies i've learned
This is too hard = This may take some time and effort
I can't make this any better = I can always improve, so I will keep trying
I just can't do (math) = I'm going to train my brain in math
I made a mistake = Mistakes help me to learn better
He is smart/ I will never be smart = I'm going to figure out why he does it so I can try
It's good enough = Is this really my best work?

EACH DAY TAKE TIME TO TOUCH BASE WITH YOUR ...

  • MIND: learn something new / change your point of view/ think with care

ELSE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IT AT ALL?

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist." - Oscar Wilde

MAKE A DECISION

"It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped." - Tony Robbins

" Some of our important choices have a time line. If we delay a decision, the opportunity is gone forever. Sometimes our doubts {motivation etc} keep us from making a choice that involves change. Thus an opportunity may be missed." - James E. Faust

"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing." Theodore Roosevelt

"A "real" decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided." Tony Robbins

"Be decisive. A wrong decision is generally less disastrous than indecision.. - Bernhard Langer

"Our decisions-not the conditions of our lives—determine our destiny." -  Anthony Robbins

"The floodgates can be opened by one decision, bringing us joy or sorrow, prosperity or poverty, companionship or solitude, long life or early death.

"Important decisions should be made with a clear mind." –Jennifer Lawler.

Everyone wants to be successful, but those who achieve success are steeled by an unwavering resolve. They are self-motivated—the kind of motivation that fueled and sustained.

You will either experience the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The choise is your

NEXT STEPS:

I challenge you to  make a decision today that can immediately change or improve the quality or your life. 
  • Do something you've been putting off… 
  • master a new set of skills… 
  • treat people with newfound respect and compassion…
  • call someone you haven’t spoken to in years. 
  • Just know that all decisions have consequences. Even making no decision at all is a decision in its own way.

Our everyday decisions will shape the world we pass on to future generations. 
  • What do you put on your dinner plate? 
  • What cosmetics do you use? 
  • What household products do you buy? 


These lifestyle choices determine in a small yet undeniable way; such things as, how much carbon dioxide is release into our atmosphere and how many plant and animal species will be eliminated each day.

By the same token, the decisions you make every day can help stop the destruction of the rainforest, restore the delicate balance of our ecosystem, and crate a legacy of hope for generations to come.
