The test  may have multiple  choice, multiple answer or true\/false questions and is timed but has no time limit. It should be considered an aid to study for exams or  merely a test of your knowledge base giving you indication of areas you may  need further study in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12.0pt; \">Once you have completed  your test you will be able to review your results. This will give you some  indication of the area you need further study or which areas you are  proficient. We recommend you take the <strong>Periodic Table Test<\/strong> before reading the subject matter. If you score 80% or  more than you have the option of skipping the section but if you score less  than 80% we recommend you read the material associated. Then try the test again  until you are able to gain a passing result of 80% correct. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><object data=\"https:\/\/www.earth-site.co.uk\/Education\/Tests\/Periodic-Table-Tests\/index\" style=text-align=\"center\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" align=\"center\"><embed src=\"https:\/\/www.earth-site.co.uk\/Education\/Tests\/Periodic-Table-Tests\/index\" style=text-align=\"center\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" align=\"center\"><\/embed>Error: Embedded data could not be displayed.<\/object><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12.0pt; \">Why Use the Periodic Table Test?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12.0pt; \">As previously stated tests give the user indication of their strengths and weaknesses. This allows them to  spend less time studying things they are proficient in and spend more time improving  their knowledge where they may have gaps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"center\" style=\"text-align:center;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12.0pt; \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/Education\/Images\/Biology\/brain-544403_960_720.png\" alt=\"Periodic Table test\" width=\"602\" height=\"465\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12.0pt; \"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12.0pt; \">Tests are also a great tool  for revision because they require the user to recall information they may have  previously learnt, be it recently or some time ago. This recall of information  improves its retention in your mind by strengthening pathways between neurons  (known as synapses).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12.0pt; \">It works like this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"center\" style=\"text-align:center;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12.0pt; \"><span class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/Education\/Images\/Biology\/neuron-160944_1280.png\" alt=\"Neuron and synapses\" width=\"602\" height=\"451\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12.0pt; \">When someone learns a  piece of information, or has a new experience, pathways are created between  neurons in your brain. If no other action is taken then these pathways or  synapses fade and the memory is lost. For our brain to retain the information  it must commit it to long term memory. This process can be done during sleep,  which is why sleep is so important when studying, when your brain recalls the  pathways strengthening them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"center\" style=\"text-align:center;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12.0pt; \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/Education\/Images\/Biology\/neurons-582054_1920.jpg\" alt=\"Neurons and synapses\" width=\"601\" height=\"425\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12.0pt; \"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12.0pt; \">We can further strengthen  these pathways consciously by remembering the information or memory ourselves.  Each time we do this the synapse is stronger and the easier it is to remember.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12.0pt; \">Re-reading information is  one way to do this but it has been shown that varying the way we remember facts  improves this further. So reading the information, writing the information  down, putting it on tape and listening to it later, relaying that information  to someone else, or through testing what we have learnt the following day we  can vastly improve our memory. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12.0pt; \">If you are studying for  tests it is always worth practice-testing before the exam but testing your  knowledge, and re-testing sometime later, can help you retain information for  longer. There is evidence that shows that memories can be lost if not used for  a long period of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12.0pt; \">Check out our blog for  further study tips. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12.0pt; \">We hope you enjoyed using  the periodic table test.
