Answer to Question 1

Two smart test preparation strategies that are described in chapter 4 include:
Quiz yourself. Students who take brief quizzes at the beginning of every class retain more material, attend class more regularly, and get better grades than those taking fewer tests. At the end of each study session, write down five or six questions about the material. Also go back to a previous unit or test and add a question based on something you didn't fully comprehend or got wrong on an exam.
Go to bed at your usual time-or earlier. Getting a good night's sleep before a test gives you double the bang for your buck. You feel more rested and relaxed, and the brain consolidates new information as you sleep so you'll remember more and perform better. As you nod off, remind yourself that your brain will be working all night long.

Answer to Question 2

In college surveys, women consistently rate their perceived stress higher than men. If you're a woman, you're more likely than your male classmates to feel stressed about finances, social relationships, and daily hassles. In the national ACHA survey, more female than male students reported feeling hopeless, overwhelmed, or exhausted (but not from physical activity). Women also felt more stressed than men about having too many things to do at once, being separated from people they care about, financial burdens, and important decisions about their education.
