Vocab Test's

This year in Language arts we are practicing our Latin and Greek root words. We have a test on the roots and the words about every 2 weeks. So far we have only had 1 test but I found that if I studied a certain way then I would remember the words and roots much better and then score higher on the test. I found that if you studied by writing out all the words and definitions like 2 or 3 times on a piece of paper then you could remember them when the test came. Flash cards work also but I think that the only way that they help me is when I write them all out. The last way I would study for these tests are drawing pictures to go with each word. Since we have only had 1 vocab test this year I havnt used this method much but I know that last year I used it on my final exam in geography, so this year I will probably end up using this method sometime this year, because for me it's like a power memory method.
