| 4. | Do not miss class unless it is an emergency. |
| 5. | It is your responsibility to get the notes from another student if you miss class. |
| 6. | When studying for a test, practice each kind of problem until you are confident with the material. |

Exam Hints
| # | Study Hints: |
| 1. | The night before the exam give yourself a "practice" test with one of each kind of problem. |
| 2. | Get to class early the day of the exam. This will help you to be relaxed. |
| 3. | Read over the entire exam before starting any work. |
| 4. | Begin with the easiest problems- or the ones that you feel most confident with. |
| 5. | Write out the formulas you are using, labeling the variables. |
| 6. | Show all steps of your work. You have a better chance for partial credit if you show all work. |
| 7. | Write neatly. I can not give partial credit for what I can't read. |
| 8. | If you get stuck on a problem, skip the problem, go on to the next one and come back to it later. |
| 9. | If you mind goes blank: * take a deep breath. * Stretch your muscles. * Close your eyes for a minute and relax. * Look back over the test, until you find a problem you can start on. |
