Yup, the next 2 weeks will be nothing but books and books! Any study tips will help. These are diploma exams, they are worth 50% of my course mark Scary stuff....haha.
My english teacher always gave us these tips for reading: Don't get to comfortable - stay slighty chilly. Thatway you don't fall asleep. Munch on something while you read. Cereal is good. :yup:
Some people believe, for some ungodly reason, that after reading a book, if you sleep with it under you're pillow it'll help you memorize what you read...I've read that in a few different places never tried though
don't read, memorize. if your doing anything involving calculations, do examples. actually understand what your studying and how to apply it as well
I never really did study... I just "look,cover,write,check" that morning before or the night before then go put it all down on paper hoping i "look,cover,write,checked" the right stuff I hate studyin.. when I finished school never expected to have to study again years later
Oh, and not so much a study technique, but bring lucky trinkets into your exams - ie. bone necklaces, bangles, anklets, etc, etc, etc.
What your studying is relevant, but almost regardless of what it is do problems/ essays/questions (ideally past exams) and get them marked somehow (even if you have to self mark, which is hard for stuff like essays) then do them again, and again, and again. Seriously doing the problems is key imo
After EVERY page you read in a textbook take like 15-20 sec to quickly scan over the page and repeat out loud the general gist of it, and the three or four most important points.
And always alter these reading with some text in the Bible and add a Voodoo chant too. Then you go spinning around like a lunatic and shout out loud "I'M A NERD" while making your mouth as big as you can and don't forget to make a pic of yourself and post it here. That is all.
