How do you study for exams?

I just considered the funny side of this... you COULD be studying right now!

Stop procrastinating and get to work you slacker!

:D

Ahhh! Come on Stinky, a kid's got to have his breaks! I am quite certain that his post was done during a short study break! lol - Granny:hippy:

Storm Crow, I love you!
Very encouraging/helpful post, no wonder you are at where you are right now ;)
to tell you the truth i did start studying a bit late and got to write all my papers too, hehe (just like those kids, that you referred to).
Thanks alot!

We all know who we are...:cool:
We all know who we could be...:(:mad:
We all know who we should be...:thumbsup:
Who knows what we can be???:question:

I'm still working on the "should be"s... Granny (well medicated ):hippy:

I have to study the major stuff completely sober. Then, after an hour or two, I'll let myself take a break. If the worst of the studying is over for the night, I'll toke, if not, I don't.

I always look soooo forward to that after-exam toke...ahhhh :jointsmile:

read over things day by day start early so you dont have to cram it will save you in the long run. trust me

I found writing things down helped me a lot. Simply reading out of a textook does no good to me, so I wirte down the important notes.

The shitty thing about school is you don't really know exactly which parts would be most important, but that's where paying attention in class comes into play. When the teacher goes through the textbook in class, highlight the points they are making. Thy usually don't go over single part in the book, so that's why you have to pay attention.

Missing class is no good either. That's an entire class missed, so you could end up missing a bi part of it.

So when you go to study, really pay attention to your highlighted work that was talked about in class. Study it, then write it down, then read it again.

That's how I learn anyways, is by repeating and reading the same thing more than once. Some people can learn and remeber stuff in one read. Not me. I need to read it, write it down, and visualize it.

Good luck.

it took me four years of uni to figure it out. i always sucked at school and only got 'good at it' at the end. its all about how you space your work out.
