i have a big test tomorrow, and i unfortunatly procrastinated. ive hardly studied at all, and here i am on the internet..
does anyone know of any ways i can learn alot of stuff in a short period of time...???
-thnx
1) Read over notes. Go over ONLY the important main stuff, and the stuff you know will be on the test. Even if some small things will be on there, you can lose little points compared to if you miss major materials, and you can miss many points. So concentrate on important stuff; forget the little stuff. If you're not sure what will be on the test (which can happen) go over what you think is the most important. Take hints from what the teacher told you in class. Think about what the teacher went over the most or hearing your teacher say, "this might be on the test", keep that in mind.
2) Try to find a few extra minutes, and make flash cards. Use step one and make flash cards to write down only the important stuff. Writing it down, and weiting helps you subconsiously remember the material later. This is also an advantage when you are in a rush.
3) Don't stress over it! Get a good night's sleep. Eat a nutritious breakfast (especially foods HIGH in protein which is "brain food" boosting memory in the brain) You can find protein in meat (ham & cheese bagel sandwich or some fish) Poultry like eggs has a significant amount of protein, so make some eggs in the morning. Avoid caffeine and sugar; stick with OJ, water, or milk.
4) If it's possible, brink a bottle of water with you, or chew some gum. This keeps you alert and awake during the test.

Make and organized and colorful study guide of what you need to know, then read it aloud over and over in different voices and rhyming and anything to make you remember it! and do this while pacing around the room! I know it all sounds ridiculous but BELIEVE me it totally helps! and you won't fall asleep while studying! [ peebles7's advice column | Ask peebles7 A Question ]

Do hardcore studying for like 30 min. then take a 5-10 min break.. this way your brain gets a "rest". It's proven- so try it.
