Test your knowledge!

Quizzing yourself on material can help you retrieve information better when taking tests. Create flashcards to help you quiz yourself or have a friend or your UB mentor test you! In addition, try to quiz yourself similar to how your teacher would test you. This can help you perform better on the actual test.
