We recommend that you plan ahead of time, and lay out goals for each study session. Get enough sleep and eat well Taking exams is difficult enough without having to keep your eyes open after hours of cramming. When studying, set a time at which you'll hit the sack, and adhere to that decision. You'll be thankful the next morning. Also, make sure that you maintain a good balanced diet during the week.
Exercise works, too, and is a good break from the rigors of cramming.
Study groups help students to blend the need for socialization with review of the semester's work. Learn your studying style Not everyone studies alike. Flashcards work for some, reading aloud for others, having someone give quizzes works for others. Learn what works best for you. Ka Leo welcomes your questions and comments.
