I use the 20 minute test prep in all of my classes. I make it a priority to complete the 20 minute test prep before I go to sleep the day of my class because sometimes I do not have time to do it immediately after I get out of class. It is essential to do it DAILY. For my documentation I took a picture of my 20 minute test prep after my IST195 class a few days ago. We have an exam in 8 days so this is going to be very helpful very soon. I keep all of my 20 minute test preps in organizer that has sections for each of my classes. I do not know what I would do without this strategy! It helps me be so much more prepared for my exams !

Every weekend I make a ranking priorities paper and place it on my bulletin board above my desk. I adapted this strategy because just having rankings did not help me much, I needed to schedule a set day and time to get each assignment done. I believe that this adaption will help everyone out and make the ranking priorities strategy more likely to be used by other students.

I have taken different learners type tests and have came up as a kinesthetic and a visual learner, which is why the 20 minute test prep helps me. Because I am actually writing and answering the questions it helps me remember them, my kinesthetic side. There is very minimal action needed for these strategies, you just need to rank your priorities and spend 20 minutes extra per class making and answering questions. The only materials you need for the 20 minute test prep is a paper, pencil, and you notes or text book. For the ranking priorities strategy you only need your planner which should already have your assignments listed in it. My evaluation of these strategies is that they are the best for me, I use them as much as I need and they help me a great deal. I would recommend them to anyone who needs help with time management or preparing for an exam.
I have found that when I use the Ranking Priorities strategy I never know how i should rank them. In workload, class, or due date. How do you normally rank your assignments?
