Do you have any study tips?

[Anonymous]

I have an exam in 16 days. I have to make it or i am out of college. It is like 200 pages. Tips?

This makes sound counterintuitive but make sure you get enough sleep. Sleep cements what we read and learn into our minds so don’t neglect it.


Try to limit your studying too to just a few hours at a time and take a break for at least 15 minutes.


Studies have shown that sucking on peppermints and listening to classical music while studying increase retention.


Try to write out things you need to remember, say them out loud and try to have people quiz you. Using more than one type of study style can imprint the material better. Flash cards may be helpful too.

Ya simply have to know your subject. 16 days is not long if you have not prepared for revision. Take math. You have to get hold of as many past papers WITH answers. Work through them until you can answer each question without thinking. Then start again. Do it a second time.

I'd say study somewhere quite with no distractions and try to repeat the stuff and writing things down will help you remember more as well
