Question

What is the most effective way to study for an exam?

Answer 1

Start a week before the exam.

On the first day/night, only study a little bit

Then on each consecutive day, build up a bit

On the last day, review EVERYTHING you think you need to know.

Use memory tricks, like an idiotic song, or use part of a word to remember what it means.  The stupider and the more it doesn't make any sense, the better you'll remember.

Example: Cations are ionic compunds with a positive charge.  Cats are positive, therefore Cations=(+), and anions=(-)

Answer 2

concentrate on what u are studying on, and dont care about how much time it takes u.

Answer 3

I've always had my sister give me a lecture about the whole syllabus. I found out that its much better for a senior to teach us one one one than teachers in a class because teacher's have to take care of the whole class. My friend finally passed her science using this method.
