Points To Avoid Cramming Before A Quiz

By Michael Peterson


Studying for an exam can be pretty tough for students that want to pass the exam and later on graduate. Some might have difficulties studying and learning through their notes while others have problems with their sleep due to the fact that they are stressed and anxious at how well will they do with their exams. Most of the time, this can be handled especially if you know how to deal with studying.

You will never be able to pass your exam if you do not study. Even if you have the brain of Einstein, you will still have to scan your notes and see what you have missed. Always have the time to review your notes and study before you take your exam. It is much better that you study concept by concept rather than take it all in in just one sitting.

If you find your concepts to be long and difficult to memorize, learn how to familiarize the concept rather than memorize it. Familiarization is a helpful technique to fully understand a difficult concept by understanding the basic principle and making it your own.

A clear and fresh mind is always the best way to study. When you feel sleepy, take a nap and by the time you wake up, your mind is fresh and is ready to take another round of information.

Solve your other problems first before you begin studying. This will prove to be very distracting if you have other problems that you have to deal with while you are studying. Most of the time, you will be thinking about the problem rather than your own notes.

Start a study plan right at the start of the semester. Once you have your schedule for the entire semester, look at your schedules and see where you can fit in an hour or two of vacant time to study for the concepts a week before they begin. Prepare a schedule for an entire day of the entire week.

Most exams have time limits so learn to juggle all the questions through that time period. If you are stuck in a question, skip it and answer those below then you can return once you are done with the entire exam.

As some students fall for the pressure of the exams, never let your guard down. Find ways to make studying enjoyable and pleasurable for you. Although you might not view studying as a pleasurable activity, learning can be very fun if you know how to make it.
