In my continuing series on basic college study tips I’ve decided to talk today about how to knock ANY exam out of the park with a few simple steps. Many college freshmen do not know how to study for college exams. College exams are not like high school exams in that they usually require more foresight and planning to successfully get a good mark. With that said, there are many small things college freshman can do to drastically change their outcome in college exams for the better.
1: Scheduling:
Scheduling exam study time in college is crucially important to a good mark on your test and to achieve general academic success. You will need a daily planner and a semester white board. The white board will allow you to see your semester snapshot and prepare for coming exams; your daily planner will allow you to stay accountable for your daily study routines. Also each works as a backup for the other. Once you get into the habit of working this way it will save you dozens of hours worth of lost study time and worry. Ideally, you should start studying 4 days before your exam date; there are three main stages, coding, reviewing and confidence building.
Hello Fellow Students!
Hello all, today I’m going to explain why studying too much is actually turning you into a dumbass and an all round boring person. I use to study quite a bit (about three hours a day) and this produced a solid B- average and a stressed out university student. What’s more, I was amazed when some of my fellow students didn’t study much at all and were getting much higher marks then me. I initially just thought they were smarter than me. When I later realized that success in University had nothing to do with intelligence, I then started studying how they were doing so well and I was doing so badly.
I’m sitting in Starbucks right now in my favorite comfy leather chair sipping a hot, tasty and most importantly FREE organic chai tea. Many of you that have read the my book have read the section on Neuro-Linguistic-Programming and how to get your prof to hand you over higher marks through using NLP techniques. Well I’ve been experimenting as of late with NLP on regular people and have recently been performing a little study on my Starbucks barista’s.
