study for multiple exams... Part 1


                         Study for multiple exams
                                                                 part 1
 How  study for multiple exams, deal with multiple projects: really it is my time management that I explained above. If I see I have multiple things due or to study for all at the same time I spread out my time beforehand. For example, if I have a test Monday, and 2 tests Tuesday then I will study for my Monday test Thursday and part of Friday. Start studying for my next test on the second half of Friday and part of Saturday, then my second Tuesday test on Saturday as well as Sunday. Then Sunday night I can review for my Monday test because I already studied for it. When that test is over I can begin reviewing for the other tests.
my overall study method: I try to break it up, over several days or at least two. I get bogged down if I try to pull all nighter.
how I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: if I received a low grade I probably knew it was coming because I didn’t prepare properly or I didn’t use the right study habit for that class. I usually try to go over what I did wrong and sometimes discuss with the teacher what I can do differently on the next exam or what they suggest I do for studying for the next exam.

sarah's academic success story... part 1


                                          Sarah’s academic success story
                                                                          part 1
Time management became a key factor in my study skills for college. In high school, there were times I was able to study for an hour or two the night before a test and get away with it. That was not the case in college. I made sure in college I was prepared for each class. Sometimes that meant writing out terms for the chapter we read (even if when it isn’t required) to better understand them. That way when the midterm or test comes around I was able to understand what I was studying. I started taking excellent notes in class in college. I may have done this in high school. But in college I started typing up the notes after class. This helped me remember what I just went over in class then when I had a test one week later I was more likely to remember then as well.
my overall study method: structured. One thing I learned was I had to adapt or change my study method according to the class. I couldn’t study for a religion class the same way I studied for a finance class. But making sure I had enough time to study for each class – even if it meant carrying a planner with me at all times was a big part of my success.

you can succeed every day... part 1

                                                         part 1
My overall study method: I break up studying over several days and over the course of the evening and day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it. I will have longer sessions on nights before big tests, but I never stay up much later than normal before tests. I know that if I take the tests tired the next day I will not do as well as if I was rested.
how I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: I usually look over the test or paper to see what I did that teacher did not want. Basically, I do not stress out about grades that much because for me they are not worth getting really upset about. I do get a bad grade, or one lower than I expected, I make sure that the next time a test is coming I study even more so that I wont be surprised by the questions.

effective study methods ^part 3^


                                                 Effective study methods
                                                       part 3

how I deal with multiple projects tests: when I have more than one test or project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some parts of a project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am really in a crunch for time on specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other one in the afternoon or night. By breaking up the studying into different sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study for a shorter period of time more often for it to sink in.
