Reviewing material identified as important is vital to success on the examination. Knowing the format for questions helps students focus on the types of answers they will need to formulate. Going to a movie or watching television the night before the test may interfere with memory during the examination. Rereading pertinent chapters in the textbook is counterproductive, because key concepts have been identified in notes, margin notes, and underlined sections. Cramming is a poor strategy, whereas getting a good night's sleep is helpful.
