Almost no one can ace a test without truly studying and understanding the material. If you really want to score good marks, you will need to have thoroughly prepared yourself for the content of the test far in advance.In addition, there are several techniques that you can use in the few days, hours, and minutes before the exam that can help boost your performance.
Know what you're being tested on. Take all the mini assignments (worksheets, study guides, etc.) from the class your studying for and have them all at hand, if you study those you should ace your test.
Revise, summarize, review. You can either study this information, or sum it up by typing a report that includes everything that you think will be on the test.
Remember: SQ3R:
Survey: Scan your book for the most important things (They may be in bold, italics, or something else that makes it stand out)
Question: Make practice questions and DO NOT write the answers
Read: Skim your material or read it actively
Recite: Answer your questions you have previously written down (Hint: Talk out loud!)
Review: Review this process until you have it down.
Never cram the night before or morning of the test. Contrary to common belief this doesn't help in the least. Take your time to practice and study with a good number of time. Also, make sure you use multiply examples on the subject and practice them over and over again. This is normally helpful in Math and Science.
Reading for 2 hours of all the things you have learned from class after school is finished helps. I usually do that, not that I'm studious or anything. It makes acing the test a lot easier if you recap all the lessons for the day everyday.
