oortiz Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Well lot of students wait till the last minute to prepare for exams.This never works in your favor and you will end up getting nervous and fatigued. Last minute you must just go through what you have studied over a period of time. It is time for light reading and revising. One day before the exam, ideally, Do not touch your books and sleep well. Your brain needs rest to think, analyse and write in the exam. So please study well in advance and avoid any last minute hotch-potch.

atse Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Just to add onto what oortiz said, if you do end up studying at the last minute, do not bother trying to do all the readings. If you are in a time-crunch, it is more useful to go over all the slides and to review your class-notes first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthevans41 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 First try to remember how many chapters are there and learn the Topics in a chapter, Secondly Try to understand what the topic is about, Try to grasp the points in the Sub-topic like e.g. Advantages of Globalization , so you Remember the points like (1)Global Connectivity (2)New Market (3)Employment Opportunities etc. You don’t need to remember the content just remember the points and rest you can fill the content by yourself.

Ethanhill Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 One day before the exam, ideally, Do not touch your books and sleep well. I have to say that I never ever do this, and typically do well at exams. Of course it's a no-brainer to start in advance, but I always go through everything again from start to end at the last day, heck even in the train to the exam I do a last minute repetition, sifting through all the data in my mind ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People like to say don't study on the way to the test, but I actually think a bit of a light warm-up can help a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericurch Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 @oortiz - Best advice ever. Doing things in the last minute is something I definitely want to overcome this year. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiesen Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 The sleep advice is such a good advice. I wish I realized this a long time ago and not made rookie mistakes of studying all night before the exam. That's terrible. Also, make sure to stay hydrated. It helps your brain function so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I have to recognize that I never prepare in advance. I know, it's really bad, but does anyone of you know how to deal with procrastination?That's a lifelong battle. I have a lot of tips that work for me. Some easy ones--don't think of doing the entire thing all at once, just the first step. For example, don't think I have to write a whole paper; instead, think I'm going to write my introduction. (Or even just the first sentence of the introduction.) You could also try visualizing how good you will feel when you're finished. Or think about the good part about the work you need to do. Stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
