Of course, we ve all done it. If you re like most students, you wait until the last minute because you hate studying. But by changing some work habits, you can study properly and maybe even like it. Recap the material in your own words. If you can talk about it, you know it.
Most students know shorter study sessions are more effective than longer ones.
Forget about memorizing the entire course material, because unless you have a photographic memory, it just won t stick. Use shorter periods of time. Remember catch phrases and short details that you can elaborate on. Be able to take one issue and explain it clearly rather than memorizing it word for word. If you spend 3 hours studying, then book an hour to do something you enjoy.
