Exams??? PLEASE READ!!!?
Question: This is 2 parts.
A) I am a straight A student, I am good at studying for tests and quizzes? I was just wondering, how do you guys study for tests/quizzes? (NOT EXAMS)
B) I have exams coming up for the first time. When they cover everything learned (in a jam packed class) from Sept. to late Feb., how do u/SHOULD I study for exams? ESPECIALLY TEACHERS!!!!!!!!
Answers: You didn't mention what courses you need to study for. Here are my ideas for an A student to prepare for a semester final in any Social Science course:
1. During the semester...from the beginning to the end, make sure to do all your assignments. Related to reading assignments, keep a spiral notebook, and take notes as you progress through the semester. Make sure to date each entry and label what you are taking notes on (for example, Chapter 12, Section 3).
2. Aprroximately two weeks before you exam(s), determine how many units or chapters have been studied. Divide that number by the 14 days that you plan to study for the exam, and create a written schedule that details what material you will review on each of the 14 days. Follow you schedule...Don't let other obligations, friends, parties, etc take you away from your study schedule.
3. By following #2 above, you will be breaking up the entire semester's material into small and manageable study increments...by following your study schedule, you might only need to study 1-2 hours per day (maybe less). Since you took all those notes during the semester, you will merely be refocusing on what you already learned.
4. When you are putting in your daily study time, don't forget to thumb through your textbook while you are reviewing your notes in your notebook. You might find something important in the book that your instructor never mentioned, or that you forgot to take notes on.
5. Many textbook manufacturers have their own websites. Find out if your book does. If so go to that site. You will probably find practice quizzes and tests. Make sure to take them!!! If you get a wrong answer, instead of memorizing the correct answer, take the extra step to find out WHY the answer that you chose was wrong, so that you will be better able to differentiate between correct answer choices and the only correct answer choice of each question on the test.
6. Ask your instructor if there is a study guide for the exam. If there is, get it and make sure that you find the correct answer to each item on the study guide. As is the case in #5 above, make sure to understand WHY the correct answer is the correct answer!!!
7. Does your instructor have a web site with support material? If so, make sure to use whatever is there.
8. Sometimes making your own flash cards can be a big help. You review the material that you learned a while ago, when you creat the flash card, and you review the material each additional time that you use the flash card!
9. If you did not take good notes during the semester:
A. Maybe you can find a study partner (or group of students) who is/are willing to commit to studying with you for 1-2 hours each day for two weeks...you could then help each other prepare.
B. If you are the loner type, and you did not take good notes, its time to divide your textbook into 14 days worth of reading, note taking & reviewing the notes that you should now create.
10. The unfortunate reality is that craming the night before is a very ineffective way of preparing, but if you are out of time, and you haven't done much at all yet, cramming is better than nothing!
11. Since you are an A student, you probably already have good study habits, and have the ability to absorb large amounts of information anyway...so its a good idea to remember what a good student you already are...that whatever you have been doing HAS been working...go in confident that you did study and that you are an A student who has done a good job of preparing!
Good luck!

A) I study for quizzes by reviewing the material and undrestanding it NOT repeating what the book says.
B) First time exams! Oh the horror! Study for the exams by going over ALL the material and make generalizations about the things you are learning. In addition, do constant review. Constant review is necessary.
But, remember not everyone learns the same way or the same day. GOOD LUCK!
Well firstly, if you do have doubts about the solving, why not share it and get other answers from ppl who maybe know better?! Then really understand things and learn them correctly! Mind your own business and stay out!
Idk sorry I'm a girl.
i have a study group that i study with.
do it with a study group.
i find that it helps not only me but the ithers in the group as well
Go to the library and study.
I too am an A student and yet my policy has always been to not study for tests. Mostly because it tends to just confuse me or stress me out. If I know the material, then I should be able to pass the test without having to re-learn it. But this is just me. I realize this may not work best for you but I thought I would just share an alternative opinion. Best of Luck.
I agree with ramblers suggestions, but since this is your first time taking an Exam, usually the teacher will basically TELL you what to study. (this is because if the class as a whole doesn't do well on the exam it reflects poorly on the teacher)
What I did (I have a Master's with a 3.9 GPA) was review ALL my notes, write up flash cards and go over them MILLIONS of times
Don't stress! You'll be fine, especially with your grades already as good as they are. Good luck!
