Tests are a way for you and your teacher to measure how well you have learned the material covered by the class. Think of them as a challenge:Here are some tips for studying before the test.
(1)Be sure to find out ahead of time.
what material the test will cover
what type of test it will be (multiple choice, true false, short answer, essay);
how the test will be graded;
how much the test will count toward the final grade.
(2)Study in a place that is free of distractions. Have ready all the things you will need, such as paper, pens, or a calculator.
(3)Study at a time when you are alert and not hungry or sleepy.
(4)Don't wait until the last minute to study! Short daily study sessions(一段时间)are better than one long session the night before the test.
(5)While you are reviewing your notes, cover them up periodically and summarize them out loud. Pretend that you are explaining the material to someone else.
(6)Create your own study aids.
Make an outline from your notes of just the main ideas.
Make a timeline of important dates or the order of events.
(7)Do any practice exams or study sheets provided by the teacher. These will help you focus your study session and give you confidence.

If you ask Americans whether or not they think their former president George W. Bush is smart, most of them will probably tell you they don’t think so. However, Bush’s IQ score is estimated to be above 120, which puts him in the top ten percent of the population.
It doesn’t seem to make sense. How come someone with such an IQ score is not considered smart? Researchers say: IQ does not tell the whole story. Some people have high IQ scores, but still they can be poor thinkers and decision-makers.
Keith Stanovich, a Canadian professor of human development and applied psychology, has been looking into the “clever fools” phenomenon for 15 years. He says IQ tests are very good at measuring certain mental faculties(能力), including logic, learning ability, working-memory capacity (how much information you can hold in mind), etc. Those faculties play a part in one’s academic success, but rational thinking is more important for us to make good judgments in real-life situations.
IQ tests fail to work when it comes to rational thinking. That’s because they are unable to assess things such as a person’s ability to weigh up information, or whether an individual can set aside the cognitive biases(认知偏差)that may be misleading.
“A high IQ is like height in a basketball player,” says David Perkins, who studies thinking and reasoning skills at Harvard University. “It is very important, all other things being equal. But all other things aren’t equal. It takes a lot more to be a good basketball player than being tall, and it takes a lot more to be a good thinker than having a high IQ.”
