Exams!

Hi for the future I would like to know the best way to study exams like any exam... I'm trying this few idea it's just doesn't work out for me. Thank u :)

How to read:

• Read for 20 or 25 minutes and then take a 5 to 10 minute break.
• Your break should NOT be where you were reading. Move away from the book or computer. Get a drink of water, do 30 seconds of exercise (roll your shoulders, toe raises, neck rolls).
• Don’t read for more than two hours. Once you hit two hours, take a twenty minute (at least) break. Switching from reading PDFs to watching videos on your laptop is not a break.

How to take notes on readings:

• Do not use a highlighter or mark things for later. If you read something you want to remember, write it out (by hand) on your notebook. Don’t copy; put them in your own words.
• When you are done with your session, take a half hour to two hours away from your notes, and then read through them. Do they make sense? Do you understand what you are referring to? If your notes aren’t adequate, fill them in.

Taking notes in class:

• Write down whatever strikes you during class, but be brief, keep your attention on the lecture and absorbing the content.
• As soon as possible after the class is over, sit down with your notes and fill them out. Write what you remember, and use your textbooks or your Google skills to fill in things you didn’t quite understand.
• If you look at your notes, read your textbook, and check out the Wiki page but still don’t understand, email the professor and tell them you don’t understand a concept. Ask them for help and recommendations.
