Study tips

Finals, the worst form of torture a teacher could impose on his or her students. Now, if you were like me, and decided to study everything the night before, then you may not do so well on that exam. In this entry, I will give you some tips on how to study, and explain why these are good tips.

First things first, make sure you go to class during the semester. The day before the exam, you don’t want to be studying all this random stuff you don’t know about. You need to actually learn the stuff you’re studying, if you don’t than all this stuff is pointless. Next make sure the television is off, and if there is music being played, remember to put classical or music with no lyrics. If you insist on lyrics in your music, put on a song you know the words to, or you’ll probably pay attention to the lyrics instead of your physics notes. Another important pointer is to study before the night before, so you know what you’re studying. Lastly, if you have trouble remembering your notes, as you’re studying, write them down again, that way you’ll have everything embedded in your memory when you look at that test.

In conclusion, if you insist on waiting the night before and you take these tips, to go to class, put on some classical music, and copy down your notes while studying, you’ll be set when it comes to finals in a few weeks.
