STUDY TIPS!
March 24th, 2009 by Mrs. Starbuck

  • Re-read the pages in the textbook or the packet pages that the test is on. Sometimes there are questions at the end of the reading that you can answer which will help you to review the information.
  • Make flashcards. Put the key people, places, events and definitions on one side of the card then the definitions on the other side. Then, memorize the flashcards by reading them over and over. Once you think you have them memorized, you can ask mom, dad or even an older brother or sister to QUIZ you. If you have made flashcards, they can use them to quiz you.
  • Organize the information. If you are given a note packet or if you just have several pages of notes to study from, it may be helpful to re-write your notes so that all the important information is in categories. For example, go through your notes and copy down all the information about people, then on another piece of paper or on a note card copy down the information on events and so on.
  • Get a study buddy! Mom and dad have not been in 5th grade recently, which means they may not know a lot about what you have to study, so ask a fellow fifth grader to come over and review the information with you. Together you can re-read the information, look over your notes or even make flashcards.
