I am having trouble with a hard class. I dont have a good grade. I always study for tests about 5 days in advance, and I study all day on those days. In addition to studying for tests, there are projects and essays and tons of other things due on the test day. I need tons of help. This is a history class. Tutors can't help because it's just memorizing, so please dont recommend one. I've been crying about every 3 days since january 5th. I see a therapist every week, but it doesnt seem to help. Im on medication, but that wont help either. I cant drop the class because its too late. I need so much help! Im crying uncontrollably right now because I have a test on Thursday that I have so much to know for! And the projects for that test arent done! I dont know what to do because I do this all the time and I cry all the time and therapy and medication wont help! I have other classes to worry about too. Please help me! I will be checking this every 30 minutes or so because I am so worried! please help me!!
Awww sweetie I'm sorry the class is so hard :( I've had a few just like that and I know how frustrating it is.
To help with my memorization, I made flash cards and separated each term or date I needed to learn into groups of 5. Then I read over each card 9 times (I read somewhere that after reading something to yourself for 9 times, the avg person can commit it to memory). Then I study the 5 until I can breeze through them. Then do the next 5 and so on.
After you finish each set of five, try re quizzing yourself on the previous 5 until you can answer most of them.
At the end of that, I keep the few cards that I have trouble recalling, and I study just those. It did wonders for me so I hope it works for you too.
It's going to be all about effectively managing your time though. Work on a section of your essay or project each night before or after you study so that you don't feel like you need to do everything at once. It'll all get done gradually.
I don't know how much this will help you but at least try it out and see what happens. Good luck
