Study Tips

[TOP-CHERRY]

I completely disagree with this one. If it's me, I'd rather just study non-stop until I'm tired and I want to sleep. I don't find it difficult to study for 12-14 hours straight with breaks only to eat and piss. If I take a break from it I usually end up wasting too much time and having to go back from where I was before I took the break.

I think you should just do whatever feels natural though, because what works for one person usually doesn't for another.

I don't have enough self-discipline to study non-stop for that long. I need to learn to, though.

See this post here? Another study break. Excellent.

Same here!


I'm telling you guys, best thing is to wake up at like 3 am and study! You concentrate so much better, cuz ur tired

How do you concentrate better when you're tired? I have the worst concentration when I'm dying to go to bed.

^^Well, it's the day of the test so it's craming and you know you have no choice but to study. Plus, you're mind doesn't wander as much since you're too tired to think...

I'm serious, I know it sounds weird, but try it. Go to sleep at a reasonable hour, 10 or 10:30 the night before, and then set your alarm for 3 or 4 am to study. I will be doing it for my exam tommorow, so I'll let you know how I do...haha

Well, I always wake up really early to do a last minute review... but 6 or 7 am kind of early. 3 or 4 am is usually the time I end up going to bed after studying.

Yeah, waking up early the day of is always a good idea - you get a cursory review immediately before the test, it's a good way to make sure you retain stuff.

I go to UTSA. i have one more tomorrow at 8am. I think i am just going to get up at like 5am and go to school and study before my test... That way it is at the front of my brain. Then again...sometimes i look at the test and think, I remember seeing that but what was the answer. Oh well...I have always done that and it seems to work.

Good luck everyone!!

I am a big proponent of the morning-of studying, for tests/exams where I really don't need to retain the information after I turn it in. Blah blah blah I read the entire Horry for 3! thread so I know the arguement and I don't want to hear it.

But this works pretty damn well for me.
