I wish that my freshman year of college, someone would have given me study tips of some sort. I did not realize how important little things like this were until my 5th year in college!! I wish that I could get into motovational speaking or something like that to talk to kids about college and how it's not like high school. People who thouht that they were naturally smart in high school that didn't have to study, now in college have to put time and effort into the books to get good grades. It's rough... Enjoy the tips...tell me if you think they would help or not.
Show up all your study weak spots and spend more time on them Avoid nerves, nausea and feelings of anxiety before and during exams Be prepared for every possible question in the exam Maintain your concentration and motivation when you're studying Give almost perfect answers in the exam Plan your revision down to the last minute and avoid cramming Go into the exam feeling confident that you can answer every question Remember large quantities of information Avoid getting mental blanks in exams Manage your time more effectively so you have much more spare time Know if you're studying properly for exams Be respected by your friends, family and teachers by getting 'A's










No offense, but I dont think that we as students can control most of those things. like be respected by getting A's. First of all, in the classes most students are taking, they can study all they want and stil do horibly becasue the instructor does not like them. A lot of teachers still believe in participation points. Which means, you passed every exam because it was multiple choice, but i still dont like you so you get a zero in participation and therefore pass this class with a c. So getting an a is subjective, not to mention, so is respect. Plus its super hard to control not getting nervous before tests. And some people feed off of the nervousness. I know that I was ALWAYS super nervous before big forensics tournaments in high school. But I also always got first. I took that energy and used it positively. No offense but I do not think that those were good tips. I was hoping for something like effective study habits and how to win instructors' favor, lol.

i think a lot of those are common sense, but it's still nice to be reminded sometimes. =]
