i do absolutely nothing. i dont study for the exam in the first place. i've found that what you read is hardly ever on the test. what the teacher explained orally on the other hand has always helped me.

Well.. Its pretty simple. I'll scream in horror and read my school books frantically, trying to cram them all in my head. I just can't seem to have an early revision. I can't study at all until a day or two before the exams no matter how i tried.

I usually try to study a few days before the Exam. But the day right before it, I just relax and let the information sink in and review once before bed.

Assuming that you paid attention in class and actually did homework. The night before I briefly go over the material. Because honestly, if you dont know it by exam time you will not know it. The most important thing is to not try and cram your brain with a ton of information before the exam, because what will happen is your brain will cross the info so you will only end up forgetting everything. So the secret to passing any exam is to make sure you understand the material while it is being taught. Get tutoring, talk to your teacher, Utilize the internet, Do your homework, If you dont understand something ask. Never allow complacency or procrastination to overtake you. You will find yourself being at ease before an exam because you will be going into it with confidence.I guarantee that you will do extremely well in class if you follow those principles.I hope this post is helpful for you.

Usually, I try to study a few days before the exam but the get side tracked and start watching anime or reading manga.. and then I like majorly cram on the bus ride to school the day of the exam and when it starts it usually is just stuff I remember the teacher saying and I didn't need to study at all! Its weird how things work.. :rolleyes:

Yeah. It is. I'd do that today.. :rolleyes: My exam is the starting of next month. And I am revising my stupid geography now. However, when I cram my brain with stuff the night before the exam, it usually works better than when I do it a week or two before.

I would study couple days before the exam and then on the day of the exam just go about my regular routine, play games, relax. If I do run into some tough spots during the exam, just wing it :D

Honestly... Nothing. I always tell myself that I'm gonna study my ass off, but I always end up forgetting to study. It's just... too boring.

Usually I consider studying... then don't. It works surprisingly well. I am a senior in high school and taking all advanced courses and tutoring on the side. It kind of makes me a bad tutor though. :(
