If there are Quizzes you don’t do well on, take the opportunities given to earn points back and learn the information early.

_____ 4. Ask for help

If you don’t understand a grammar topic, ask for your teacher to re-explain it to you, especially if you are re-taking a Quiz.

Leading up to the Unit Test

_____ 1. Start studying early

As soon as the test date is announced, begin studying for it. The more time you give yourself, the less stressed you will be.

_____ 2. Know 100% of the vocabulary

Quiz yourself on ALL of the vocabulary. You should do this in some kind of written form. Don’t assume that you remember the vocabulary-every letter counts!

_____ 3. Re-work Grammar Quizzes

Re-working your Grammar Quizzes will make sure that you remember each grammar topic.

_____ 4. Complete the Study Guide

Be sure to complete the study guide on time. Use this as a means to pre-test yourself. What do you know? What do you need to review?

_____ 5. Use the Checklist

Use the checklist to be sure that you review and study all parts of the Unit.

_____ 6. Re-work the Study Guide

Your Study Guide is a “peak” into the test. You need to practice sentences in written form! Understand your mistakes! Don’t memorize them!

_____ 7. Do On-Line Practice

If you teacher provides on-line practice, do it! It’s probably another “peak” into the Unit Test.

_____8. Ask for help

If you find that you need something re-explained or you need additional practice ask for help. Your teacher wants you to succeed!
