Students who have already taken calculus offer the following advice on how to succeed.

• Start studying for exams early. You can't just study the night before and do well. Get plenty of rest the night before an exam.
• Always do the supplementary homework problems before quizzes. They help a lot!
• Arrange your schedule so that you have enough time every week to study and do homework.
• Don't slack off because if you get behind, it will be hard to get caught up again and you will be confused.
• Learn to read graphs. Learn to live without your calculator.
• Sleep well before tests, even more than eight hours if you can, and eat within three hours before the test.
• Don't stress out and don't give up.
• Draw pictures even if you don't know how the graph will look or if it is not required: it may keep you from making silly mistakes!
