Testing is usually infrequent and may be cumulative, covering large amounts of material. You, not the professor, need to organize the material to prepare for the test. A particular course may only have 2 or 3 tests in a semester. Makeup tests are seldom an option; if they are, you must request one. Instructors in different courses usually schedule tests without regard to the demands of other courses or outside activities. Instructors may or may not offer review sessions; when they do, they expect you to be an active participant, one who comes prepared with questions. Guiding Principle: Mastery is often seen as the ability to apply what you've learned to new situations or to solve new kinds of problems.
