When I study for a test the first thing I do is make note cards. The only classes I make note cards for is History and sometimes sociology! After I memorize the note cards I sometimes have my parents read them for me so I don’t cheat on the ones I don’t actually know.  Otherwise for other classes I just review the notes the teachers have given us. If I am completely unsure I do read the chapter again but that doesn’t happen often. I will be honest for most tests I do not study for. Sorry this was not very helpful or a good answer but I did my best!
