Detailed explanation-1: -Rereading However, research suggests that it isn’t a productive nor efficient form of studying. Rereading is generally passive – the brain is most effective at retaining information when it is being actively used. Dunlosky and his colleagues concluded that rereading notes or textbooks has ‘low utility’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Survey the entire test prior to taking the exam. Take a few deep breaths and relax tense muscle-repeat throughout the test. Read directions carefully-ask questions. Answer easier questions first-this will help calm you down.

Detailed explanation-4: -Often, the re-reading is cursory-and it’s insidious, because this gives you the illusion that you know the material very well, when in fact there are gaps. In short, just because you are familiar with material doesn’t mean you can accurately recall it on a board exam or in practice.
