Exam time is notorious for the amount of pressure that it puts on students. The exams are often worth 25% or more of the course, and if that weren’t enough, many colleges and universities base your acceptance on your exam results, particularly your SAT’s. Once high school is done most students appreciate the fact that they won’t have to endure exams again. Then, come college or university, they find the pressure to be even more intense than it was in high school.

Obtaining a job as a student is a difficult task, and it is made to be an even greater challenge when you consider that most students don’t have extensive experience or qualifications. Your typical high school student might have some related classes or volunteering experience, but that’s generally about it- not exactly the stellar resume that one hopes to be able to submit with an application.

Reviewing the material you’ve written and read during class will help solidify it in your mind. Cramming the night before an exam isn’t a good method for test preparation. Lecture notes, textbooks and study guides should be out in front of you as you begin to study. Writing a summary of the most relevant information during your study period will help memorization.

The works cited page should remain on a separate page. All entries should be double spaced, and margins of no more or less than one inch should exist at the top, sides and bottoms. The Works Cited page should be titled ‘Works Cited’ and should not include quotation marks, bold text style or in any way effected (except for capitalization. Each entry line should flush left, with all subsequent related lines indented ½ inch.
