Tips for Preparing for Exam from California State Parks

Write key words and phrases from the Position Description section and from the Scope on a separate sheet of paper. Together, the sheets form a booklet.

Xerox several booklets.

Using your resume and other background material, list your experiences in the first booklet. While writing down your experiences, concentrate on using phrases or short sentences.

When finishing, put the booklet away for several days. Then, without using any background material such as your resume, complete the second booklet.

Compare the first and second booklets. Combine the best of both booklets in the third booklet.

Getting Started

Creating a Study Plan

How much material do you need to cover?
How difficult is the material?
How much time is available?
Do you have any other priorities during the study period?
What is the format of the exam?
How important is the exam?
What is your performance target for the exam?

Here are some tips to follow in creating your study plan:

budget your time realistically;
allocate the study time into several manageable study sessions;
divide the course material into small segments and assign them to the study sessions;
set clear and specific goals for the study sessions;
prioritize to ensure that material weighted more heavily in the exam gets sufficient study time;
take into account your familiarity with the material and the difficulty level;
don't make the study sessions too long;
study sessions should have enough variety in terms of topics and activities to prevent boredom and loss of effectiveness;
avoid cramming before the exam; and
don't forget to include regular breaks.
