Do short study breaks if you are cramming for hours you will lose your concentration, get distracted and not be able to recall the info that you need. Don't study for more than 30 minutes at a time, then if it helps set a timer, then do like 5 minutes of cleaning, exercising, jump in the shower anything just don't read. Then go back and do more, you might try writing out information that you have trouble recalling. Find a study partner, make it fun. And yes you should take your time with studying just don't overdue it and get burnt out. Best of luck to you on your exams, also don't forget to eat a good dinner and get a good nights sleep the night before, eat breakfast the morning of (or lunch if its an afternoon class) that way you don't have a growling tummy to distract you.

I think revising and studying are neseccery (except if you're a genius or something, but this hardly happens in real lives). To achieve succes I think you should first familiar to the format of examinations. Study regularly, little by little. Do not rush and remember that all you can do is 'try your best'. Giving yourself too much pressure won't help (But don't use this as an excuse to be lazy!). Discuss with friends if you have anything which you can't understand. Calm yourself during exams. That's all!

every one says study in short bursts but i find that cramming for 7 hours or so the night before is the only way. I seem to do alright in exams so it evidently can't be such a bad thing. It might just be me though.
Another thing make sure you eat lots of sweets while youre studying. It helps me no end.
Print off a hole load of past exam papers and mark schemes from the exam board website. i find that practically all the questions have come up before so if youve looked through all these nothing can surprise you. If youre doing AQA board exams go to www.aqa.org.uk and then click on 'library of past exam papers'. Select youre course and youre away. Good luck.

I have found that I have more success with studying if I do it the night before. I almost believe that the information sinks in while I sleep. I then do a quick refresher study in the morning and I make excellent grades.

You have to revise, of course. However, I mark exams, and one of the biggest mistakes people make is not reading the question properly. Due to nerves, they misread it and answer something entirely different. It's such a shame because we have to stick to a mark scheme, and even if their 'answer' is great, if it's wrong then they will only get minimum marks. So take your time and read the questions properly!

Try to study what you think will be on the exam.

yes studying is key...but only if you understand what to study. there is always a lot of information to study/understand, which there is not always time for or does not help you on the test.
leading up to the exam, try to understand what your professor/teacher is looking for, and what is most important to them. also, it helps to understand the teacher's testing style.
good luck!

you should study if you're absolutely sure there's no way you could cheat :)
