<p>Here are a few ideas…
Check to see whether your textbook has a companion Web site. Sometimes there are quizzes and sample tests that come with the book. To find the Web site (if one exists) do a Google search for the publisher and textbook author. Pearson and Prentice Hall have particularly good Web sites, so you might even find one that goes along with your subject. Most of them do not have passwords.</p>
<p>When you read your text, write down vocabulary words that you do not know(not the terms specific to the subject) and learn their definitions as well. Your text books are written by people with much larger vocabularies and sometimes you don’t understand a word, so you don’t know what is being asked. I also encourage my students to ask what a word in a question means if they don’t know it–the professor may tell you if it doesn’t give away the answer.</p>
<p>There are many test taking sites on line. Just do a search and look around. Virginia Tech has a good one, but there are many good ones. Good luck.</p>
