Since this blog is devoted exclusively to standardized test prep I would like to make sure that the basics for standardized test prep are covered in detail. This will be a multi-part series that focuses on tips that will help students preparing for exams maximize their preparation time. Let's go over a couple tips:
1. Study for the test by solving practice problems. So many times students mistakenly study textbooks or spend time reviewing irrelevant material. I use the word irrelevant because even if you are reviewing the concepts tested on your test you are doing yourself a disservice by not spending that time on practice problems. Simply put, solving practice problems is the ONLY way to study, period.
2. Spend your time acquiring to most accurate practice problems possible. The very best source for practice problems are the old exams from that particular test. If you are able to get your hands on old tests or released test questions then you will be way ahead of your peers.
These are the first, but arguably the most important tips to help any student prepare for a standardized exam. Stay tuned for more information and additional test prep tips.
