Student tip: Give yourself a hand when it comes to test time

For each lecture session, try to make a one-page bulleted summary of all the key ideas. This forces you to identify what you think are the most important pieces of information. It also gives you the flexibility to include more of what you don't know or need to memorize, and less of what you already know. Do this each night and by the time the test comes around, you already have a personalized study guide.
