whats the best way to study for an exam?

Answer 1

Sounds boring but actually sitting down and reading through your notes. Any textbooks you have and (depending on what kind of exam it is) the internet have lots of good revision sites up nowadays, with tests and stuff to help.

If you've left it too late I would just read through as much stuff as possible and try to get a good understanding of each 'section' of work for that subject, then at least you're more likely to get lots of low mark answers and a few higher ones, rather than cramming on just one area and getting no points for the rest of the questions.

Also, some people find repetition an easy way to remember things; you could try re-writing your notes using shorter sentences summing up stuff, then when you eel more confident test yourself by summing that work up in bullet point form without looking at any notes of textbooks, etc. (cos that would be cheating)

I have a more visual brain (apparently) which is why I find remembering a diagram or picture or chart is an easy way to remember statistics and stuff.

Hope that helps! GOOD LUCK! oh and don't get too nervous on the day :)

I'll put some useful revision sites in the sources for ya

Answer 2

Well if youre going to cram, then its always good to study for 45 minutes and then take a 15min break, to cool off for a while eat a snack and then your brain can register the info, and your more likely to not forget the next day. Just keep doing that all night until you think you got it. The real way is to study for about 1 hour every night!

Answer 3

You know the idea of homework is to study the fundamentals that youve learned in school.
Go back to the 5th grade fundamentals of 'outlining the materials you are going to study'. Writing down the pertinent ideas or fundamentals is best to help with memory. Writing and rewriting. Underlining facts and writing them down. If you have ever done a puzzle maze where you start from point A and try to find point B, you will always find it easier and quicker to go from B to A. Keeping that in mind...realize the important fundamentals in your literature is what will help you ease into the rest of the materials. It will help you see the greater picture in your mind and help your memory better. Quiet is the best way to focus.

Answer 4

Read the notes and textbook, but don't read everything at once. Read 1 or 2 chapters per day a week or 2 weeks before the exam. After that, the night before, you should be able to read everything quickly!!

Answer 5

To commit something to memory most efficiently, you need to read, write, hear and speak the information. If you do these 4 things for all the information you need, you have a much higher chance of recalling the information in the exam.

Answer 6

There is not a right or a wrong way.

You have to find what works best for you.

There is no easy way though, exam are hard work, but the rewards are worth it

Good luck.

Answer 7

Study some each day. Don't wait until the night before or you will confuse the information. Focus on one unit each time you study.

Answer 8

make sure you get the sleep .when you study short breaks for something to eat and drink is better for you in the long run then your not over doing the study to much

Answer 9

Cram the studying the night before!

Answer 10

Well, what I do is the main important thing. Take away all distractions, whether it's the television, radio, etc. Then I highlight important things in my papers, and remember them. Try to understand what you are reading, and write them out in your own words. Do this very often, ask for help, remember, the main thing is that you are trying to understand what you are reading or trying to learn. Remember this, READ IT, WRITE IT, REMEMBER IT! Good luck!
