Best Practices

Study Skills #14

Worksheet Description

The “Best Practices” worksheet is a practical tool designed to help students prepare systematically for upcoming tests. It focuses on best practices for studying, prompting students to engage in thorough and mindful preparation. The checklist format serves as both a guide and a self-accountability tool, enabling students to track their progress as they complete each recommended step.

The checklist includes actionable items such as consolidating all study materials, highlighting unknown or unclear topics in notes, reviewing completed classwork, ensuring understanding of previously incorrect answers, revisiting text passages that will be on the test, and strategizing to master unfamiliar content. These tasks are presented in a logical sequence, encouraging a comprehensive review that addresses both familiar and challenging material.

Below the checklist, the worksheet provides space for students to articulate a specific plan for further preparation in school the following day. This forward-looking section is designed to help students think proactively about how they can utilize their time and resources effectively to solidify their knowledge before the test. The layout is clean and straightforward, with a clear, readable font and a graphic of books at the top, reinforcing the academic theme.
