It sounds corny, you've heard it before.. but it really works! And believe us, it DEFINITELY works better than falling asleep with a partially-read book covering your face! Take some basic concepts from your textbook and transform them into a goofy song, poem, or even a rap! This simple thinking exercise not only familiarizes you with key ideas in an almost "fun" way.. It makes it easy to "sing" the song back to yourself while taking the actual exam.. the keywords stick to you.. and the song(s) you write about them become like your own invisible crib note sheet! Of course, this tactic works best when memorizing names and dates for subjects like History!

One of the reasons we all hate studying so much is that it often confines us
to either an awful silence or even to an undesirable solitude. It's definitely much more
appealing when there is someone there with us to turn studying into an interactive quiz
show.. Asking questions.. throwing around ideas.. Testing us in a friendly way to see what
we remember. Psychologically, it's less stressful --and therefore, much easier -- for us to learn when the person asking us questions is a friend and not a pot-bellied, wide-eyed instructor. Of course-- we could make a whole 'nother page filled with tricks just to get someone else to help out & actually participate in this sort of academic activity--but if it's the infamous 'night before an exam'.. and someone owes you a favor.. try this tip out !

If it's really the night before an exam, you shouldn't have even gotten this
far in reading our web page! Stop playing on the Internet.. Stop putting off what you have to do.. Just do it! Don't let ANYTHING else distract you.. Don't tell yourself "Ok, I'll start "really" studying after a snack." Or-- "I'll get into it once 90210 is over.." NO ! Get busy right now.. and don't stop ! Like exercise, it'll hurt while you do it.. But you'll feel better about all night studying if it's from 8 PM to 4 AM then if it's only from 3 AM to 4 AM and you wasted all that time just getting upto it ! Think logically! |
