Weekly Study Tips: 
As Concordia Prep prepares for end-of-year projects, tests, and exams, the School will be sharing daily study tips to support students in their academic success.
Today's Study Tip:  Sometimes drawing helps you remember things. So when you study, make a mind map or create little doodles that connect to key concepts. That way, when it comes time to take the exam, you can create that same doodle on your test.
