<p>Heres the thing, you cant study for 5 chapter tests. You can only review. If your notes only cover facts (which is what the book gives you) youre done for.</p>
<p>Suggestion: Write down the notes but start including analytical questions and anwser? So what is the real difference between cell walls and membranes? How do they help the cell? etc </p>
<p>Then when you are done Synthesize each page of notes and summarize into one sentence. </p>
<p>I know how you feel. Try distributing the chapters apart and making sure you understand each one. Before tests you might feel like you know the short term info which is fine, but if you cant tie it together, uh-oh! I am trying this right now. We’ll see how it goes. </p>
