What are some key test taking tips for college exams?

It depends upon the subject, but the testing that occurs in a course is a very important way for you to know how well you're doing. It's not only about the instructor putting you through your paces, it is about you knowing, "How well am I absorbing this material?" So, to be able to give your best in that kind of an assessment it's very important to get plenty of rest the night before the exam. It's also very important to have done your homework and study throughout the exam period, which could include the entire semester, or just the few weeks before the course. It also is very important for you to have communicated with the professor not only in class, but also in office hours beforehand, so that you're very clear on what the test is going to entail. Many times I talk to students who come out of a test and say, "I think I did really great", and then they find out that they didn't do so well on that exam. It's because they studied so hard, but for the wrong thing. It's very important that you are familiar with what the instructor is going to put on the exam and that you have studied the right topics, and that includes speaking to the professor, as well as attending class on a regular basis.
