Directions<\/h2>\r\nLook over the lists found in\u00a0Preparing for a Test<\/a><\/u>,\u00a0Taking a Test<\/a><\/u>, and\u00a0Test Anxiety<\/a><\/u>\u00a0and pick one of the claims made there.\r\n\r\nFor example, one of the claims made is that you should ask your professor or study group for help. So, is there evidence that suggests that students who utilize study groups tend to do better on exams than students who don\u2019t?\r\n\r\nAlternatively, you can find an empirical piece of evidence that supports a claim about study habits that is not listed in the textbook.\r\n\r\nWhether you use one of the claims made in the linked list or pick your own, go and find one empirical piece of evidence that supports that claim. The golden standard of empirical evidence would be a\u00a0scientific study from a scientific journal<\/b>\u00a0(some of which have been cited in Module 9).\r\n
