High School vs. College Exams

High school testing is relatively easier than college is when it comes to tests, quizzes and exams. High schools around the nation tend to test their students based upon the materials that they have already learned. For instance, in a certain math class if the students learn a certain type of problem than they will most likely be tested on that exact same problem but with different numbers. In college, the students will get a lecture from their professor. Next, although it depends on the class and the professor, the students will most likely be expected to learn the material by themselves and then be prepared to be tested on it. In college, the students are tested on material that they haven't specifically learned, but based off of information that they have learned. Also, in high school the students are tested more frequently and with less information, whereas in college the tests contain more information and are seldomly given. Tests in college are most definitely going to be more difficult, seeing as it is a higher level. The way to prepare for each level of exams is to study avidly and with much consideration, not procrastinate on assignments and have a positive attitude about what the learning material is.
