Tests are a big part of school. It is important that you make time to study, set out a plan of when and how long you will study for. With a plan you won't feel rushed. It gives you the time to study in parts, allowing your brain to absorb information more easily. Cramming is never a good idea. Especially as an adult, your life is busy and sometimes things come up, if you leave it to the last minute you may not have the proper amount of time to study. Studying under stress also prevents your brain from fully committing things into memory. So take your time, make a plan and give yourself an ample amount of time to study.
Exchange contact information with at least one person in class. It's important to attend every class but we all know life happens. Having this contact will come in handy, if you miss a day you can find out what you missed and get a copy of their notes. It also helps to have someone to study with and just having that support system is nice.
