Study 15 minutes just after class each day Limit your studying in each session to a reasonable amount No more than 15 Key words Make lists of the Key words for each section you study Repetition is good, repetition is your friend, use it
skim the appropriate chapter in the book each day before class Use a multisensory approach with your studying (not just reading: write, draw, make models) Make flow charts using your Key words (first hints list) Draw lots of pictures of what you are learning (if I didn't draw one in class, draw your own) Be sure to get 8h sleep each day - especially the night before the exam
Study in groups - sometimes - test each other Study alone - sometimes - learn things your way Look at your key word list or flow chart, and decide which are the most important elements re-write your notes re-write your notes in another language, or using the hand you normally don't use, or using pictures
Make up questions for the exam Examine your notes; decide which ideas the Professor will use on the test Make up questions for the exam that you think the Professor would choose Study one thing in the 5 minutes you wait for class to start
