> We have an online test bank, and if the prof's have any old tests they'll be on there. But since the tests are student donated, not many of the profs let students take tests home after they're done... I don't think I'm making much sense
That makes perfect sense. Over here... In psychology especially... The people who write the text book typically write some multiple choice tests too. The lecturers can purchase them to save them writing their own. And the text book writers make sure people are penalised for not purchasing the current edition of the text book... Anyway... The tests are closely guarded. You aren't allowed to keep them. You can view a copy with a copy of your paper in a closed room but thats all.
> Maybe I just need to study more.
Maybe...
Do you have an estimated number of hours of study that you are supposed to devote to each course per week?>Maybe it's my use of time or something.
Maybe. I think there might be... I think I found some study tips for all different kinds of assessment somewhere... From Dr Bob's homepage or somewhere like that. Might be worth a look... There were links to study tips that a variety of universities etc had written to try and help their students.
>It just gets frustrating when I think I know something so well and then don't do very well on the tests.
Yeah. That is frustrating. What kind of thing are you studying? I mean... Is it to do with remembering facts or to do with understanding concepts or what sort of thing???
