Test-Taking Tips

By Hedrick Lepsch


One of the many resources available to students is their fellow students. Those individuals who create and take full advantage of study groups and group learning activities will be better able to propel their academic careers and find success in learning the material.

It is really important to know what to use in different situations. Whether you choose to do it by trial and error or through reading the instructions it's up to you. Doing something about it is important though. Third- Most photographers don't backup their files and this is really sad because it only takes one crash and all of your art is gone. This is something that is easy to fix if you are willing to take a few minutes and get it on a cloud or cd. Fourth-Using the wrong lenses is a common mistake that holds many photographers back from getting the right lighting and feeling from their pictures. There are so many and getting an education in photography can help you in understanding what they all do.

Tip Two: Hand in hand with step one is step two - taking notes. Take good notes! You may think you have perfect memory or that you would never forget that simple fact, but let's face it. You always forget. Or get confused. Or mix things up. Just write down the things you learn. Writing not only keeps information "in storage" for you, but the act of writing helps your brain with memory retention. So write, write, write! And make sure you will understand it later. Don't write in abbreviations or code if you can help it. (Because you will probably forget your clever cypher later on.)

Seventh- Getting a fancy camera that is more complicated that the photographer thought it would be is a huge mistake that people make. It is much better to just use a camera that is simple if you don't have the time to learn about how to use the more complicated one. Eighth- Many photographers delete photos from their camera before they know if they are on the computer. Always check before you get hasty.

Because it is likely that some in the group will have the personality of taking control, the group as a whole should decide how best to lead each session, as having the personality for leadership and being a quality leader are often two very different things. If the group as a whole decides that it is best to have one group member take the lead at each meeting, then so be it, but if the group decides that the responsibility of leading the group during the study sessions should rotate with each session, then a plan will need to be established and communicated.

Tip Five: Be confident. If you followed the first four tips, you will have been well prepared. Trust your gut and try not to over think questions. Don't last minute cram, don't panic, just breathe and charge in with confidence. If a question stumps you, don't let it bother you. It's just one question. You will do fine! If you are getting an online degree or a traditional degree, these tips will help you prepare for any test you face!
