How do you prepare for an exam? (1 Viewer)

[PodiatryA]

How do you prepare for an exam? Do you continuously study throughout the whole term and crunch down 2 weeks before the exam? What techniques do you use? Post here, and help yourself and help others with their HSC

Give motivation if you see someone who needs it

For me, i study by just writing out my notes, basically just memorising until i learn the concept, a couple of weeks before the exam

I write out my notes, go really crazy the night before the exam (but continuing craziness from the past week or two) and hope I go well.

I'm kinda doing that now actually ^^; not well, it seems.

I write notes, read over them, pretend to teach stuff to the wall (hey it helps!), stick stuff on my mirror (occasionally) and do practice questions.

lol that sounds like me

i find it helpful to vandalise the school's book with all sorts of notes... for eco i try to link a concept in one chapter with other chapter's adding on my accumulated knowledge.. whilst talking to myself through the processes, asking myself why? how? etc

I'm one of those nerds though that thinks it's sacrilage to write on books so I don't do that...

Sleep > Procrastination.

Write out the stuff you don't know and then teach it to a family member

 

[pwoh]

Sleep > Procrastination.

Depends on how you procrastinate.
In some cases, sleep = procrastination

procrastination + cramming FTW!

is anyone completely shitting themselves over the HSC ???

 

[brendroid]

Completely shitting? No - I think I can actually go well. Hence, not shitting.

Anxious about results? That's different, I think.

 

[whoisthis]

read through textbook, do past papers. writing notes was a waste of time for me.

 

[ninetypercent]

cram, and then do heaps of past papers

C R A M

+past papers

 

[NewiJapper]

Past papers and questions is the way for me.
They're better for preparing for exams because they require you to recall and use your knowledge and memory when just revisions and writing out work is just repetitive and you won't retain as much either.
