Remembering for Tests
In addition to knowing how to take a test, you have to remember the material you’re being tested on. Here are some tips for remembering what you have learned.
Use graphic organizers. 🟪 They help you organize information, and that makes the information easier to remember. (See pages 383–386.)
Use acronyms. 🟪 Acronyms are made up of the first letters of the words in a phrase or group of words. NATO, for example, is an acronym for North Atlantic Treaty Organization. To help you remember things, you can create your own acronyms.
