Listen carefully to your professor to find out his position on the subject he’s teaching. Better yet, interview him about his thoughts, beliefs on the subject and how his values play into it. You’ll gain very valuable insights about the questions he’ll ask on the test. 90% of his questions will have some bearing on what is important to him. For example, my Finance prof has connections with the Federal Reserve Bank. I can not write a test essay advocating government ownership of the Feds, not a private entity as it is now. Another prof who teaches Marketing is big on ethics and principles. I can’t answer his question with: Are you kidding me? Ethics in business? Come on, get real.

Test tip No. 2. Textbook. Read the preface first which provides the overview or a framework. It is easier to understand and retain the details that are discussed in each chapter when you have a clear framework. It is just like looking at a picture with dots being connected as you read to show a clearer image.

I hope these tips will help you too.
