Abstract
This research is intended to investigate the different strategies used by 3rd year learners of
“Aghri Med Said” in Azeffoun and “Makhlouf Said” secondary schools in Tizi-ouzou, Algeria
in their revision for exams. Its objective is twofold. It aims first to identify the strategies used by
students to prepare for their exams. Second, it investigates whether students use these strategies
effectively while revising for their exams. The results of this study were interpreted relying on
Francis P. Robinson (1941) and theory of SQ3R method (Survey-Question-Read-Recite-
Review) which is a reading strategy. To conduct this study, a mixed method approach that
consists of both qualitative and quantitative methods has been adopted. Therefore, 100
questionnaires have been distributed to third year learners. In order to analyze the data gathered
from the questionnaire, the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) is used for the
statistical data. From the results collected, we have concluded that the use of effective strategies
for preparing for exams is of great importance during the learning process of students, since the
use the right and the suitable strategies such as mind-mapping, group revision, reviewing past
