  • that really depends on each person's learning style. There are three kinds - learn by doing, hearing, or seeing. I learn by hearing, so I would just repeat the information aloud to myself. A lot of my friends are big fans of notecards - you could give each element a notecard. This satisfies the visual learner as well as the person who learns by doing because you have to write out each card.

  • Flashcards would be a good way to study for this type of test. Have someone quiz you.
