how do you study?

[UrbanPoet]

how do you studY?
Me... i do so 3 days in advance prior to a examination/test.
day 1. I make out lines of important topics and ideas
day 2. I follow these outlines and look thru the text to get more details.
day 3. I look over the outlines before the test.

[lovelimelody]

For me, one day.(the day + nite before the exam)

day 1: learn the whole course from scratch
day of examination: make up stories that is a combination of what I remember the other nite

Note: DON'T STUDY LIKE ME!

[UrbanPoet]

I did that a few times. I eventually got better tho. :lol:
even if you spend 2 days studying it goes a long way.

For me, 50% is a pass.
But then, I already have my carreer in a family business.

I look at all my assignments and then look to see what I need to pass.
Say I need 30% on exam to pass..
I pick 10 chapters and study 6 of them.
I go over the objectives for each chapter, and then write out (not read) the answers. Writing out the answers will help u on the exam, because you will remember the strings of text.

Fortunately, I usually ace my assignments, so I only need about 10% on my exams, so I usually just wing it.

[sandie]

You can call me psycho...but keep in mind that I write 100% finals

This is my study regime:

Day before a class - read/skim the readings --> so I read every day of the week
End of the week after having both sets of classes --> summarize that week's worth of notes. Basically to tiddy up my class notes.

I force myself to 'study' about 20 hours a week so any extra time must then be review. Yes, I log my hours to keep track.

50 days before exams start I start working on my Summaries (law school people know what I mean) - which ends up around 150 to 200 pages long usually.

Four weeks before exams, study pretty much from 9am to 11pm on weekdays. Its a 11 hour day but I actually usually get in around 7 hard core hours if there are no classes. On weekends, I usually study slightly less.

Thats how I study.

I can't wait till I finish this ApriL!

[Sl300]

I usually try to get started 5 days in advance

5 days prior - read once, to skim thru
4and3 days prior - make notes
2 days and 1 day - read like no tmrw

[TenzoR]

it doesn't really matter how I study, if I don't know the course it won't help if i memorize all the concepts. I can't apply it.

[tigger03]

My personal Rule: You CANNOT study when you're tired. You'll see the words on the page, but nothing will go throught your head.

When I come home from school, I go to bed. Wake up at like 10-11 p.m., where (hopefully) everyone else is in the bed so that the house is quiet. You're refreshed to study now. Just read (I have close to a photographic memory). I also make acronyms for lists, and as most of the exams are m/c, I just have to recognize the words and understand the concepts. This is done exam week ... or the week before exams/midterms.

On the day of the exam, get together with a study group 2-3 hours before the exam -- you'd be surprised at the stuff u missed while studying! Last minute studying helps for a fresh short term memory. 15 mins before the exam, shut your notes, and just relax. Once the paper is in front of you, u'll prolly go blank for a second or two, but everything will gradually come to ya!

Remember: study when you feel REFRESHED, and not tired. I get straight As when I write my papers overnight, or at times when I'm refreshed!

Woah...not to be rude, but do you have time for a social life?

I remember back in high school I had horrible study habits. I'd study a few hours the night before the exam, rush all my homework. hardly read, yet I still managed to be a B- student. If I would have dedicated myself I could have been an A student but im sucha procrastinator.

Some people are like that, they study all the time and don't go out much..but I also knew people who were so well rounded they would study during the days and always go out at night and always do well in school and their social life.

You basically just argue hardcore about topics learned in the course.

I remember the worst that happened if when my friend slept through an Exam...
he called me after the exam and said "So tony... Are you going to our Exam today?"
i said "yeh... i was just there"
"what..... its @ 1pm"
"No.... i just wrote it"
*crying in the background*

[dark169]

everyone's differnt, some people need to read for countless hours to pull off a B otehrs can slack off and get an A.

you need to disocver your own habbits that work, and then make them a habbit. They shouldnt be chore or a task but something you jsut do normally, like getting out of bed and brushign your teeth.

Persoanlly I have pretty weak study habbits, I'd get home from class do my assingments before dinner then if I had a big test in the next week I'd read or do problems for an hour or so before bed. That was it. The key is identifiing how much time things are going to take. Some labs could take 30 hours to write up while others could take 2.

I also weighted the amount of work I put into somethign based onthe weight in the class and the value when it comes to learning the material. Bashing you head against somethign worth 1% of the class and maybe 5% of the final isn't going to effect your make a whole lot.

[civ@uw]

The most successful method for me has just been staying on top of homework, by doing it as soon as it's assigned. I'm in engineering so this probably doesnt apply to arts programs, where you have to keep notes and whatever. Problem solving is so much easier than writing essays and what not.

Lol, thats what I did for my last set of exams. No stories though, most of them were math/engineering type courses.

Can't say I did too well... but I passed :).

[sw1ft]

^ I also did that for one of my courses. Was sitting at 60% going into the exam and ended w/ an "A" afterwards. Memorized every diagram in my textbook haha.

[kilarney]

I study occasionally every day, mostly like 2 -3 hours each day. Its not good to cram every thing in at last minute in my opinion. Too much pressure and you lose sleep. This is based on several personal experiences and I am NEVER going to do that again.

[x86asm]

I dont, I just touch my head with the textbook and I know everything instantly! Give it a shot :lol:

Like civ@uw said, I just try and keep up with homework and reading. Definitely find problem solving easier than essay writing, but some people find it the other way around. I can still write a decent essay though.

[AL3X]

pfft studying is for amateurs

but if i'm feeling amateurish flashcards help me a lot, no matter what is on them. Then as long as i relate them to something and discuss with friends i'll retain it perfectly.

[EscaBoi]

i had a bad experience with doing an all nighter back in high school, NEVER again am i doing an all nighter.

what i do now is, try to do a bit of studying for a course a week ahead, just some light studying. then the night or 2 nights before i will do a harder study session that way most of the things i read over are like a review to me.

i find that i gotta read things twice for me to fully comprehend it and make sense of it

[P__S__2]

man like me never studies..yet I still pass.

Only 1 all nighter in all of high school? so lucky. i do them way too often, but somtimes i allow myself a 30 min - 1 hour "nap."
3 days a week now I leave for school at 7:15 AM, and only get home from school then work at 2AM (then i have to start homework). Pretty harsh, but i'm doing ok nonetheless.

(Always time for RFD tho :) haha)

[cheeseshredder]

Another example of a "Don't study like me" person:

Start of the year... did homework and studied the day before the test... So I basically learned the chapter the night before and at lunch.

This term.....I don't even do that now, I learn it at 6AM and then do it during lunch/break.

Lucky I'm surviving a heavy course load with an A. But if I had a worse memory, I would probably be failing.

Me too, I never try all nighters. I find that if I get some decent sleep, my chances of doing well are better than if I have very little sleep (and studied like crazy).

Plus all that coffee and caffinated energy drinks can't be good for you. Good high/buzz but a crash is gonna follow.

Yeah, all nighter sucks for tests... But for some projects or assignments you need to. On the other hand, if you know NOTHING about the test... there's no point in sleeping when yo ucan't do it anyway.

I think she's in law school. This is what we do in professional schools. Med. school is the same, and optometry school.

[mingming]

Who needs to study in high school? Just read the calculus book an hr before the test, come out with a 100%.

University? Thats a differnet story, heck, I'm pulling a late/all nighter as we speak for a test tomorrow!!!

[SamInfinity]

For University, doing things in advance has never helped.
For math courses, I didn't do all the homework until the week and half before a test. I'd then give it 100% of my attention. Works like a charm, at least for me. Everything was fresh in my mind.

For Science courses, it really depends. Unfortunately for lab courses, you're going to have to keep up for an obvious reason. You're also going to have to know the material inside out, so weekly reviews help with those.

For other courses, I like to give one subject 3 days worth of attention if possible. That way, you cycle through your notes often enough, but your focus isn't shifted around from one subject to the next making you confused. When studying before a test, I then go through the notes in one shot, just skimming to get a general overview of what there is to look over. The next thing is to analyze how much time the prof spent talking about a section. Odds are that the importants points are going to be stressed over and over. After your initial skim, go back and really pick at the details. Get your friends to study, then start testing each other, and don't give easy questions. It's better to get them wrong when it doesn't count.

It really depends on you though. I gave writing everything out when I study a try, but my arm got too tired, and I'm too lazy. In short, whatever works for you!

Do you have a Mat 223/224 test ? :razz:

[CollageStudent]

I pla ahead. I try to skim all courses everyday. I take notes in class, read course outlines, prepare for important dates, and keep myself confident. I tend to panic sometimes on tests, but it works out. This was when I was in school. I took this semester off, and go back in september. 2 semesters left. I did 5 semesters back 2 back hoping I could finsish my 3 years term in 2, but became uninterested. Went from an A avg, to a B, and that was enough. Now I'm taking a breather and hoping to boost up my gpa last yr.

I miss school:P

(Always time for RFD tho :) haha)
i've probably done about 4 all nighters through my time in high school. 3 were for projects which were no problem, since they did not involve presentations so it did not effect me too much.

the last all nighter i did was for a calculus exam, going into it i knew basically everything and was guarante'ed at least a 75%. I did the all nighter to help my niece since we were both in the same calculus class and she needed a bit of help. i was thinking "since i know all this i don't really need sleep"...how wrong i was...i ended up getting somewhere between a 55-60% just because i was too tired and couldn't comprehend simple questions.

now in college we're taking pyschology as one of the Gen Ed. courses and it's true, lack of sleep effects your memory and learning ability greatly...

if anything, i'd rather sleep early and wake up earlier and study hours BEFORE the exam instead of cram the night before

[x86asm]

...snip

I personally believe that is the better option (as opposed to an all nighter).

Ya sometimes you need to do all nighters on assignments but exams and midterms, hell no.

[P__S__2]

damn,

I have a midterm math test tomorrow..and like I said earlier...I dont study...but it looks like I have to break that habit for this one...its a big test....so ima have to study.

[Lily]

I don't remember ever studying for more than 5 hours in one night. Usually I'll go to sleep and wake up early the day of the exam to study, like today.
I went to sleep at 9:00pm. Woke up at 4:30am to study. Went to write the exam at 8:00am and finished it in literally 45 minutes. It was supposed to be a 3 hour exam. :|

[tigger03]

the key is just to be rested and refreshed while studying a day or two before a test or exam ... it worked for me throughout university! On the day of the exam, just sit with a study group and refresh ur memory!

[sandie]

Woah...not to be rude, but do you have time for a social life?

I have a social life - but it dies around 1.5 months before exams. As per the other poster, yes, I am in law school.

I guess it's all depends on your goal. if you're aiming just to pass, my goodness don't study like me!

My goal is to NOT get a B. A B+ at my school means your in the top 35% of the class. An A means you're in the top 15%. So I work harder to make sure I don't get Bs. Figure it'll take me a bit further in life.

Work hard now - reap the benefits later...so I hope...

[ben_liu]

i dont study and i use my lucky pen to do alll the work!

lol!!! r u serious? you mean.. some of you guys actually pulled all nighters in high school?!?! WTF?!?!
I went to class once a week back in high school and got 75 avg no problem..
if i went 3 times a week i probably woulda gotten a billion % avg..

[Slimfast]

Somehow I think all the people who are claiming that no studying can net you a 90%+ in HS are liars or grossly exaggerating. While highschool is easy, it's not that easy! Pulling a 75% or so is a walk in the park, but 90%+ is not nearly as easy. If passing was my only requirement, I could sleep through high school. Diff. strokes for diff. folks, I guess.

Do any of you guys find it really annoying when you have a big test the next day and you have to work until 9:00 PM or so the night before? I hate that!

i skipped more than half of my entire OAC year and graduated with 90% :)

i think studying is really like a personal opinion. everyone has their own ways to study and works for them. some ppl dun study, some ppl study 24/7. i think the point should be how much u *care* about getting a good mark and the mentality instead of the way or time u spend studying. if ur focused and aim for a high mark, it'll all come naturally!

good luck!!

[yuwing8]

lolz. only thing i stayed up for in HS was for CS until 4am on weeknights and getting 90s in my sci courses as a result. of course i did have to cram 2 days before tests/exams ;) but rest of time, i'm just wasting time and spend a few hours doing calc homework cuz that **** cannot be learned over night for me.

now it's study all the time in uni + going under depression - just to get a 70-80%.

I go to u of t life sci (st. george) btw

I tried doing an all nighter with loads of caffeine for this biochem exam at 2pm. felt like **** in the morning at 7am. actually felt like dying/sleeping/giving up. I know i can't sleep after 7am becuz no one will wake me up and i gotta go through 1:30 hour of transit to get to school so i just stayed awake. concentration was so low - holy crap! got some timmies coffee right before the test and it was okay i guess. got 78% in the end.

My body's wasted from staying up late in HS maybe lol. now i get sleepy at 12 and don't wake up until 10am if i dont' have school. anyways time to sleep.

edit: i forgot to list my study habits

I normally take a week to study for a test- (forget everything else, don't read/touch anything else but the topics on test), no matter how much the material. If i know i dont' have time to cover all my notes, i do skip some unimportant classes. I usually bring a recorder to class now and record every lecture and fill up missed notes during class. doing so i get refresher on what was taught few hours before and that's sort of studying. during the week before test i read my notes 2x and read the textbook for supplementary notes and if the notes aren't clear enough i refer to it. last 2 days before the test i do cramming - usually the 2nd reading starts on 2nd last day. i should incoorperate doing past tests for last day but i havn't been able to find the time.

err what else... if you know ur ****, go to sleep at least 7-8 hours. if you dont know ur ****, cram like crazy for all nighter - you cannot go wrong! either you don't know nothing and feel okay, or know a lot but feel like ****.

i'd rather have the latter!

Maybe they come from insanely easy schools. Passing is no problem... I can probably stay home all day and only attend exam days and still pass. 90+, you have to work at it. If you don't.... then something is wrong with your school.

[EscaBoi]

i skipped 125 classes in my 2nd semester alone of OAC

my mark dropped from a 83% to 72% and thus i got booted out of my program at York U and they wanted me to upgrade through Universit courses...i was like, to hell with that, i'm not paying $6000 for high school courses

i slacked off because i was told once you pass the mid point in the 2nd semester of your OAC year they don't count the rest...

[yuwing8]

lolz i thought there's a regulation where if u skip so amount of classes, u automatically fail the course altogehter. skipping 2-3 days every week should fail your courses right? either that's a lie or the regulation has been changed.

I wish i was in HS again ._.

not if u know the admin/secretary at ur HS, or u can get ur friends to erase the mark beside ur name for not attending. i knew all my teachers and the admin in my HS and they didn't care about me skipping... and btw, i go to UT St. George Computer Engineering.... :|

all for thsoe who dun believe skipping and getting 90+ in HS is exaggerating or lying or come from an easy school, u guys really need to get know more ppl. there r tons of ppl like this. education system is really easy in canada, and lots of ppl immigrating here from india, HK, china, TW, can easily nail a 85+ in HS.

Okay, then I guess everyone here is stupid because only a few people have a 90 something average and they either work damn hard.. or they're taking bird courses.

what do u define as "bird" courses in HS? there wasn't many "bird" courses u could choose from....for me, my 6 consisted of calc, alge, finite, chem, physics, world issues... i guess the last one would be a "bird" course?

Languages, applied skills (some exceptions), fine art related. But then again if you have an easy teacher, same thing as having an easy course.

It's already hard enough to get 90%+ normally.. but skipping and getting that with a huge courseload? Besides... when you're taking a heavy courseload you'd be having test after test after test, so there isn't much room for skipping.
Also... a bunch of labs that you can't really do at home either...so I feel that you're exaggerating.

It's already hard enough to get 90%+ normally.. but skipping and getting that with a huge courseload? Besides... when you're taking a heavy courseload you'd be having test after test after test, so there isn't much room for skipping.
Also... a bunch of labs that you can't really do at home either...so I feel that you're exaggerating.
alrite, let this be my final post in this thread.... there's no need for me to exaggerate on a forum, no one knows me, i know no one. i'm just trying to give ppl a different perspective about studying and marks. as i said earlier, i know quite a number of ppl who also got 90s and didn't study much in HS. there are all kinds of ppl out there u know, and no one is better than anyone else, but just there r ppl who found HS easy. if u talk to anyone in my class, there HS avg is guaranteed to be 90-99 (yes there r 99% OAC avg ppl in my class!). i hope i didn't offend anyone because my intentions were not to, but on the other hand, pls dun accuse me of exaggerating or lying either. >:(

lolz i thought there's a regulation where if u skip so amount of classes, u automatically fail the course altogehter. skipping 2-3 days every week should fail your courses right? either that's a lie or the regulation has been changed.

I wish i was in HS again ._.
that's only if you are failing, because i was maintaining an above 80% average it was fine. plus some teachers in the school really don't care, while others are strict on it.

most of those skips were from the first 2 periods because they were Calculus and Finite which i was repeating since i already knew everything anyways and one of the prof's was the same from the previous. i retook the courses because i wanted an upgrade in my mark. Calculus i originally had a 50 and Finite i had a 70, so i wanted an upgrade. i basically only went for the tests, and if i went to class most of the time i was late for first period...and the teacher would just mark you absent if you came late
