A.  Instructors give clues!
        *They will repeat important points several times, write them on
            the board and give handouts.
        *Most instructors will use certain gestures for important points.
        *Make note of questions put to the class, reading assignments
            covered in class, etc.
        *Put yourself in the instructor's head--what questions would you
            ask?
        *Save all graded material of any kind for your review.
        *Brainstorm test questions with other students.
        *Look out for these magic words:  "This material will be on the test"
            or, "This is important--you need to know this"!
        *Always study your objectives!  Most test questions come directly
            from the objectives in the syllabus, as well as any extra material
            given in class.
