There’s no sugarcoating or beating around the bush about this: taking a college test is hard.

Take it from someone who has taken dozens of them over three years of college. They are all part of the college experience, so we just have to deal with it. However, they don’t have to be as difficult as you make them out to be.

Tests really know how to eat our insides out. Because of them, we stay up on all night with headaches and too much coffee in our bodies. We college students stress over them too much. But it can be better.

Here’s how you can study for college test without all the extra hassle and worry:

Make a Plan

Since tests occur quite often a semester in college, making a plan for them is key to doing well on them.

For example, if you’re test in biology is in two weeks, start planning for it now. Today, I’ll study Chapter 1, tomorrow Chapter 2, the day after the readings.

Don’t plan on studying for eight hours in a library for a test. Instead, make a plan and stick with it. Figure out what you need to study more, and plan that around everything else you know for sure or sort of well on a test.
