Mizz C. has a few tips for studying with friends so that the
work gets done and there’s still time for fun:
- Keep your study group small, 2-4 people tops--the nerdier the better.
- Meet a few days before the big test for one hour max.
- Pick a place where you can talk quietly without distractions—no cell phones until the hour is over.
- Ask all study buddies to do a couple things: bring their class notes and predict two or three test questions.
- Set a timer for one hour. (You remember Mizz C’s kitchen timer, don’t you--the chicken timer she loves almost as much as her granddaughter?)
- Spend a half hour sharing class notes. Fill in information any of you forgot.
- Ask the questions everyone thinks the teacher is going to ask. Take turns answering the questions out loud. No interruptions, put-downs, or pile-ons. Be helpful.
- Take notes on the answers you hear.
- When the timer sounds, have fun.
