It's not english, it's critical thinking, but there's no option for it. roy is preparing for his test in english. he creates lots of memory tools and studies using a circuit-learning schedule that he follows for several nights. he feels all the memory tools he created will prepare him for just about any kind of test the teacher throws his way. as he walks to class, he repeats to himself, "i am an awesome english student, and i can do anything! " what can roy do to improve his test-taking strategy? ask his teacher what kind of test he will be taking so he is prepared for it. avoid being too confident in what he says to himself as he walks to class. get a study buddy, as it is possible that he is missing material the buddy has. study less because several nights of studying for one class is too much.
