Answer 1

the best thing is to relax and on the first class study what u don't no and so on do your classes in order

study about 30 to 50 min each class if u want to do good

Answer 2

This is the advice I gave my sister when she was taking her pharmacy exams:

Study only the things you don't know. What I mean by this is sometimes we include things that we already know when we are testing ourselves.  It feels good that we know the answer to the question, but it did not really add any new knowledge.

Next, when you are testing your yourself and you got something wrong, we just go back and find the correct answer.  My advice is go back and try to remember what your thought process was when you were wrong and correct the actual thought process  (rather than just memorizing the correct answer), therefore, re-training your brain.

What I try to do is connect other things that I already know when trying to remember something or create keywords  (for example I still remember the word CASIO when working with cosine and sine formulas ... and this was 14 yrs ago) which will hopefully create new  "connections" on your brain.

The brain works like filing cabinets, and these "connections" or synapses create more filing references for easier retrieval of information when needed.

I also try to eat more protein and restrict carbs the day of the exam in order to promote brain activity by increasing tyrosine levels and decreasing tryptophan levels. (see reference source below)

These things helped me throughout my education (up to Masters level) so I hope they make sense and help you too.

Good luck with your exams!!

Answer 3

just make a time planner setting out how to spend your time i.e monday 9am to 11:30am revise science and then lunch 12:30 to 4pm revise so and so.  give yourself some breaks so you dont get too tired!!

only you know the best way for you to study...try somewhere quiet and without too many distractions :)

good luck in your exams :)
