Cram for math exams?

Question

Hi,

I have like 5 math exams coming up, what's a good way to cram for it, I have been slackin' the whole term, very behind (I know, it's my fault) , how do I pass or do well on the final, I have like 2 weeks, any tips for the exam and how to stay focus, any good place to study?

Answer 1

A good place to study is in the library. There isn't anything distracting, or loud. If you have trouble with a problem, just go on the library computer. Don't bring your cell-phone, or music with you. Set limits for yourself. Say, you have to study for two hours a day, (not including homework) and then you can go out and have fun. You'll find the library helps a lot.

Answer 2

Don't try to cram. Try to set up a schedule that will allow you to review things with a reasonable chance of doing some practice and thus learning the principles and formulae you need to learn.

Studying for 2 -3 hours a day will be better than trying to pull an all-nighter the day before the exam. Don't study any one subject or topic for more than about 40 minutes at a time -- then take a break and when you start studying again, do something different.

Try to find a comfortable place to study, but one which doesn't have too many distraction (friends, TV, etc). Turn your cell-phone off.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Study a little bit each day leading up to the exams.

Answer 4

I should tell you know what you already know, but I wont.... The best thing you can do is use a highlighter to underline what is important and go through your notes, tests are usually based on what you go over in class
