Yes, I have... especially subjects which are new to me. I cover the material a minimum of three times, ask questions, and look for the answers. Frequently, I actually dream the questions and answers for upcoming tests. It's kind of reassuring when similar questions show up on an exam. Also, a test is only a sampling of the material. Information for a test is the LEAST you should know about a subject, not the most. Think of it this way, would you want your airplane pilot or surgeon to only know the minimum required in classes taken years ago? I certainly hope that they are continuing to learn as much as they can. My life may depend upon their knowledge.

If its for a test, then only learn what is needed because anything else is a waste. Besides, you know when the teacher wants only one answer, you'll be doing yourself harm learning more than just what the instructor wants you to learn. I hope you understand that, because its important. You'll also confuse yourself, if you know more than what is asked. What answer are you going to be giving then? Right? If you want to learn what you can about a subject, then read and quiz yourself on it. Study groups are good, because you'll get different points of view, or different questions answered. You'll gain more knowledge and understanding in the subject, because everyone is reading either the same thing or different parts of the book. Either way, you'll learn more than if just you were doing all the reading/studying.

NOOOO!!! if you havn't figured it out yet, school is a game. kinda like the old saying, "work smart, not hard." you need to learn your professors. Ask yourself, what do they emphsize, what do they talk about all the time, what kinds of things do they test on? Once you know this, you'll no longer need to pay attention to everything in your book--speed read/skim until you see a phrase or paragraph(s) that you know the teacher will find important. Also, volunteer on the days you do your work, so that you don't get called on when you don't. Visit your teachers during their office hours (especially nearing finals or mid terms), this will show them that you're concerned and you're trying...this may be the difference between a B+ an A-. it's really little things like this that make the difference.

The more I have learned about psychology (currently doing graduate work) the more I want to get out of the field....switching from a job as a rehab counselor to taking over as a salesman....I guess you learn more truth to things!

I always try to learn beyond what I am asked so that I know better what I have to know.
