Just a question...how do you study?


Like:


Math - I do alot of examples untill I understand

English - review (look over notes)

Marketing/Operations/Accounting/HR - review and understand formulas

yah pretty much....day before for me too, and the hour before....
if i ****** things out, i don't remember much....and i find it harder....i dunno i'm a last minute type of guy . . .i like the pressure...knowing i gotta get this done...i apply more effort, well not really...haha but a resonable amount of effort. .

some students like to space things out and have time, and to some it just doesn't matter, as long as u can perform the day of either way works!

i'm also told i have a photographic memeroy...so maybe that'z why i like the night before and hour before, cause just scan the page....remember what it looks like...what things are...keywords put them side by side in my head...remember what it looks like....and just go to it......

test yourself

read the notes and then put them away and write asmuch as you can remember about the subject

it helps to keep the memory stored

Last year I would just cram the night before and the day of an exam, that didn't work out too well, so now I do a few questions everyday that way I remember it in the long term instead of just for a day.

cramming is accually bad, cause you overload your shortterm and you end up not remembering most of it...

Because majority of my degree was oriented in Studio and Projects, I had very little tests to prepare. I usually play online gaming until 6 in the morning, smoked 30 cigarettes to kept me awake, go grab a cup of coffee, read for 30 minutes then I go for the exam, did I pass? I passed every single one of them.

People thought I was stupid and crazy, I tell you, I think I was.

Oh yeah, Diablo 1, Starcraft, Stracraft Brood War, Command & Conquer... the list goes on :P

Back then, we had to buy tokens from U of T Library to log online so I can play online gaming. It was the ancient cyber cafe back then.
