about

Hey Everyone :) I'm Kate and a level 2 mod on here. I've had this account since July 2004, so I've been on here since I was 13! Wow ... crazy for me to think how long ago that was. I will admit I don't check in as often as I once did, but being away at college, being in a sorority, and having a job when I'm not at school is very time consuming. I still try to help out as much as possible, and if you send me a question I WILL answer it. This site helped me a LOT when I was in high school and had a lot of questions, and I'm here to help anyone who needs it :) Feel free to write in my forum or send me a question any time!

I'm being quizzed on Thursday. We have 3 worksheets with a bunch of questions on them to study from. I'm not really too sure how to study this; I don't want to retype the questions and re-answer them; it doesn't help me.

So my question is, how do you study about 50 questions? What method do you use?

hope this wasn't too confusing;
thanks to anyone that answers :)

I don't know if you're a flashcard/notecard person, but if the answers aren't ridiculously long, you could put the question on what side and the answer on the other.

I used to think that flashcards were a pain in the butt, but I realized that just writing them out once helped + you can study with flashcards anywhere.
Once you have them all written out, you can flash through them just like you would with words and definitions.

If that doesn't work for you, make a card/matching game out if it and play with friends. Kind of like when you're young and you play the matching game where you have to flip over two cards with the same picture... something like that, except you have to find the question & answer...

Or, another game... you could use them and do it jeopardy style.

Seriously - if you make some sort of game out of studying, it really helps.
And today in class I found out that if you eat breakfast, your memory is 44% better than it would be without. So that's just a tip... make sure you eat breakfast on Wednesday morning to help your memory :). I hear peanut butter cups help, too. Not sure if it's the chocolate or peanutbutter, I think it's the PB, but I'd eat one or two of those.

(Not that this matters, but I'm in college & a lot of people around campus use the game method when in study groups... so don't feel lame for suggesting it to friends or trying to "play" by yourself to study!)
