Final blog: How to 'Ace' a test

Acing a test mainly involves the preparation and study that have been made before the actual test. Fry says that this only accounts for about 70% of acing a test. He encourages " admitting that you are at ground zero can help you realize that preparing for an exam is not in itself a whole new task of life its merely part of a continuum"(Fry 348). personally through reading this book I came to learn how my study habits and perception of  a test  affect the outcome of the test. Putting too much weigh on a test no matter how big or small the test is the pressure increases ten fold. Calming down and thinking things through never hurt anyone.

Though believing in yourself when you have done no preparation is useless it can be helpful with study.Fry explains this by using the example of one in a million he says " think of this fraction 1 over 1 million, your life is the big number your next test is the small number, all the ones in your life add up to the one million; they are important by themselves but alone they can not compare to the Giant, Economy-sized Number of Life"(Fry 348). looking at the bigger picture and understanding that it is not the last test you will ever take plays a huge role in increasing the chances of acing the test.

Do you have any pretest rituals?
