Arguably the most intense and stress-inducing time period of any student\u2019s career, the SATs (or any other similar tests for that matter) can set you back if you don\u2019t use your prep time adequately. Let us help you make it through with flying colors this year with our short list of tips designed to help you make the most of your last week. Even if you aren\u2019t writing the SATs this year, follow this guide and you\u2019ll be one step ahead of your peers!<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Get Organized<\/h1>\n

This one seems like a no-brainer, but it\u2019s actually a lot easier said than done. Sure, you can get all the books you need and stack them on your desk, but at the end of the day that intimidating stack of books will lead you to procrastinate and head off to Tumblr for some later-night \u201cstudying\u201d. However, modern technology actually does more than just providing distractions. Get your ebooks organized, or just simply scan your class notes with Kdan\u2019s PDF Reader Mac<\/span><\/a> or PDF Reader for iOS <\/span><\/a>and Android <\/span><\/a>to save your time rummaging through the important information.<\/p>\n

Break your subjects up into more manageable portions and go at them one subject at a time. Multitasking or switching between subjects is the wrong approach when learners<\/a> are dealing with, well, anything in life. Don\u2019t take our word for it, trust science and take your time. You\u2019ll thank yourself later.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Find your iPad\/Tablet and Go Digital<\/h1>\n

If you\u2019re dealing primarily with books then see if you can get access to a digital version of the book instead! There are two main benefits you\u2019ll reap from going digital. First, you can adjust the backlight on study materials. Optimizing your light source can boost performance while reducing eye stress \u2013 not so possible when you\u2019re dealing with a heavy textbook. If you\u2019re using an Android device we suggest F.Lux, but if you\u2019re on the iOS you\u2019ll have to manually adjust lighting or try this neat trick<\/a><\/span>. \u00a0Or how about trying Text-to-Speech<\/a> and letting your mobile device read the documents out loud<\/a> to you?<\/p>\n

The second advantage of going PDF is that the right app can boost productivity. Our PDF reader<\/span><\/a> (free!) allows you to do that pretty well and if you want to go the extra mile, Connoisseur<\/a><\/span> can read your text out loud so you can make your notes while listening. Remember: multitasking is bad, but if last night was your third night in a row on Tumblr you might be out of options!<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Make Neat Notes \u2013 and Review Them!<\/h1>\n

For those of you who don\u2019t know the \u201cForgetting Curve<\/a><\/span>\u201d take a minute to give it a quick look. When reviewing your notes, you\u2019ll want to make sure they\u2019re legible. As a modern student you\u2019re most likely typing, or if you\u2019re a master of tech, using a note-taking app. Great notes must balance content and memory triggering strategies. Pictures, songs and videos are great ways to help with retention, but unfortunately are not easy to transfer into your typical notebook.<\/p>\n

On the day of your exam, the last thing you want is your stress to cause memory blanks. Take the smarter way and have everything prepared in the way that will help you most on exam day. Click here<\/a><\/span> to see just how big of a difference a great note-taking app can make in your future. If you haven\u2019t already downloaded the Reader, do that now<\/span> so you can instantly add text to your notes.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Collaboration is the Stuff of Growth<\/h1>\n

We can all thank Sir Ken Robinson for that little nugget of wisdom. Not only will collaborating with your peers help in reducing stress, it will help you be more prepared for exam day. Going solo is a surefire way to ensure test-day jitters. As long as you don\u2019t go too far off topic, group collaboration is proven to increase retention. Did we say trust science already? Oh, well then, trust it again, this time with the \u201cLearning Pyramid<\/a><\/span>\u201d. Now, while you\u2019re already out, remember to\u2026<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Take Lots of Breaks<\/h1>\n

Cramming is probably the worst thing you can do when studying for any exam. As discussed above, learning happens over time and cramming forces your body to do the opposite. Take a lot of breaks and spend time away from the tablet. You\u2019ll allow your brain the time it needs to absorb the information you want it to and reduce the level of cortisol (stress hormone) in your body. When test day is just around the corner, your mind will be refreshed and ready to take on anything the exam will throw your way!<\/p>\n

We hope these tips helped you feel a little more focused and prepared for your exam! Look below for the links to our apps and subscribe, comment and share if this helped you feel more prepared!<\/p>\n

Good luck from Kdan!<\/p>\n
