Improving Test Scores

Improving Test Scores

A large percentage of high school students end up NOT graduating because of low test scores. Various methods are used to aid the test-taking process but very few of them have ever actually been proven to work. There are 3 main things that you can do to improve test scores in school, study harder, take notes, and ask questions if you don't understand.

Studying hard is an efficient and progressive way to improve test scores. Studying for tests help you retain the information for a longer period of time and allow you to easily recall it for tests. Studying also lets you sleep and relax the muscles in your brain better which in turn allows you to absorb the information easier at night. You should not study right before the test however, because that wipes out the information in your long-term memory and crams it into your short-term.

Taking notes is also an excellent way to boost up your test scores. This is specifically true for kinetic and visual learners. Taking notes can allow you to memorize what you have written and helps recall the information when needed.
