Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
You should definitely focus more on understanding. Many test questions have to do with critical thinking and if you do not understand the concepts, you will not be able to answer those. I am currently enrolled in this course and actually have not had a test with a question on it like, "Cellular recognition is ______." More than half of my tests are critical thinking questions. To study, I usually use the powerpoints and outlines of the chapters. These are both my favorite study tools to use.
Memorization of key vocabulary words coupled with understanding of key concepts is the best way to study for the tests.
