Got any good study tips?

Question

ive got finals... :/

Answer 1

If you have vocabulary to memorize, or even concepts. Copy them down from your text book multiple times. As you write things, it forces you to read and comprehend every single word. The more you do this, the more likely you'll remember a vocabulary word or concept.

Work environment is also very important. As I type this, I'm supposed to be studying for my math final. As you can see, this is a problem because I'm getting distracted by Yahoo Answers :P. So you need a quiet work environment with very little distraction (library is perfect).

Go over concepts in Math that you DON'T understand. If you feel comfortable with a certain section, try 1-2 problems. If you understand them, move on. Don't waste your time doing stuff you already know how to do.

Don't wait until the last minute to study either, break it up into maybe two 30 minute sections a day. Studying too long doesn't help either because eventually you will become too stressed to focus or even just get tired of it. The human brain can only handle 20 minutes of hardcore studying without any distractions.

Hope this helps and good luck,

I've got two finals tomorrow too :s
