🌿 [14 / 12 / 16] • Week One 🌿
This week has been going really well! I bought a leuchtturm to use as a bullet journal and it’s helped me a lot to know what to do and get it done. Now I just have to get through the rest of the week and keep trying to be productive.

I needed to show you guys these socks I got from my Secret Santa this week because they’re FREAKING ADORABLE AND MATCH MY SPREAD. // It’s been super gloomy in cali the past few days but the sun finally came out today. This week had it’s ups and downs; I can gladly say that I survived my last week of school and I’m so excited to enjoy my very well deserved holiday break!

As promised, the tutorial on how I make my flashcards!
The flashcards I use are from HEMA. They are 10.5 x 7.5 cm, ruled and made from very sturdy paper. I recommend getting pre-cut flashcards because cutting them yourself 1) will cost you a lot of time and 2) you probably won’t have thick enough paper available
I like to use flashcards for information that is easily summarized into a handful of bulletpoints and doodles!
I start off with a nice front card that tells me clearly what subject the cards are for, the content and the date.
The color of the header sets the color code for the entire set of cards. This way, it’s easier for me to retrieve lost cards.
A key/legend can be added to the back of the front card. Here you can for instance write down all the frequently used abbreviations. Since they might be unusual abbreviations, you may want to jot them down here so you won’t forget what they mean!
Then come the actual flashcards. I start off with the course abbreviation and card number (this is also to retrieve lost cards and prevent the cards from getting switched).
Then I write down the question. It needs to be long enough for the answer to fill the card, but also not too long. Sometimes I will add below that what kind of answer I need (e.g. 5 examples, 2 names and 2 main points)
Add doodles! I like doing this whenever the material (and space) allow it. Add anything that will help you remember the facts.
I get the questions and answers from lecture slides, my own notes or e.g. from a textbook.
Studying with flashcards is easy:
Read the question on the front
Answer it in your head, but out loud if you can
Check the answer(s)
If you got the right answer: go, you!
If you didn’t get it right, read the right answer thoroughly. Then put it back into the stack, a few cards later.
Repeat :)
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT make a separate stack for cards you keep getting wrong. You’ll only wire your brain to remember that this info is something that you do not know. Keep repeating them together with the other cards, and keep going until you get (almost) everything right!
I hope this will help you guys to start studying with flashcards. They can be immensely helpful as they encourage active learning and you can carry them basically everywhere!
Study on!

My Study Method
My post 10 types of planners got way more notes than I expected. So today I will show you how I prepare for my exams. The method I’m going to explain is the one I’ve developed over the years and got me to get all A’s in high school. From taking notes, to nailing your exam.
1. HOW TO TAKE NOTES
1.1. Sit in the front of the classroom Don’t give a f**k if you look like a dork. Make sure you can see the blackboard clearly. You should be able to look at your teacher and the other way round. In case my experience is not enough: Studies show that those who “sit in the front and center (middle) of the classroom tend to achieve higher average exam scores”. Plus, your teacher will know who you are and will be aware that you pay attention in class.
1.2. Ask questions Don’t be afraid of asking questions. This took me years. Your teacher won’t think your question is stupid - in fact, it is their job to make sure everybody learns whatever they are supposed to teach. AND even if it looks as if the whole class has already understood the lesson, trust me, they haven’t.
1.3. Don’t write every word the teacher says There’s just no point in doing such thing. Contract words and use symbols and doodles. Once you get home, fair-copy your notes if they are not clear enough (or at least, re-read them). Otherwise, when you try to study with your notes a few weeks/months later, you won’t understand a thing.
1.4. Clarify your notes What did you just write down? Was it something that didn’t appear on the book? Was it an explaination of what the book says? Some info you should expand? Use a color code or symbols to clarify your notes. It doesn’t take time but will save you time in the future.
1.5. Compact notes Write with tiny (but legible) handwriting. It is quicker, tidier, and it saves paper. Also, write in two or three columns.
1.6. How to stay motivated to take good notes Last year I told one of my best friends (who is one grade bellow me) that I would give her all my notes at the end of the year. People normally dream of setting fire to their notes (and at least in Spain, people actually do that). But this other option (giving away my notes) was good for her and for me, since whenever I felt like writing carelessly, I’d think, “she won’t understand these notes, I have to do it better”.
2. PRE-STUDYING
Start pre-studying the very first day of class.
2.1. Active reading
Everytime I see someone whose book is entirely highlighted I’m like “why don’t you just dip it in a bucket of yellow paint?”. Seriously, stop.
Underline only the key words, not the whole sentence.
Use a different color (at least) for each paragraph.
When you read a paragraph, open a key in the margin and summarize what that paragraph is saying. Use between 1 and 10 words. Write as small as you can.
Right after you finish with a page, do an outline of the whole page in order to make sure that you have understood what you’ve just read. How? Scroll down.
2.2. Make it visual
Outlines, mindmaps, graphics… it really depends on the subject. All I know is that I just CAN’T study from a block of text.
Separate coordinated sentences and link them with symbols.
Use bullets or numbers and indent.
Color is not decorative. The same color links together different ideas.
Pink highlighters are cute but they don’t highlight at all.
Small handwriting and columns are your friends.
Highlight just the KEYWORDS. About 4-8 words per page.
Don’t use the same template or style on every page, unit or subject.
Number your pages.
Here you have a messy and a tidy example:
3. STUDYING
3.1. When should you start studying?
When I was in high school, I used to start studying one or two weeks before the exam. A few days before when I was too busy. The day before when I was about to jump out the window.
Divide whatever you have to study in equal parts to make it more approachable.
Try to organize yourself so that the day before the exam you don’t have to study because you already know everything (and you just need to revise a little bit).
3.2. Studying (and by studying, I mean memorizing) Once you have read it and understood it, you have to memorize it. My favourite quote is: “Don’t practice until you get it right. Practice until you can’t get it wrong.”
These are my methods. I also recommend reading this article for more. Use the method that works best for you or all of them to ensure you’ve got it.
Write your mind-map again and again and again. Don’t change the placement of each concept in your mind-map or you’ll become confused in the end.
Translate words into drawings. Translate your drawings into words. Repeat. Repeat!
Read a little bit, try to explain it out loud as if you were a teacher. Repeat endlessly.
Make a story that helps you fully understand what goes next and WHY.
3.3. Keywords list This is the spine of my whole studying method. So basically, reduce each sub-topic to ONE word. Then reduce each topic to ONE word. Study those words by heart.
In the exam, just write down your list of keywords and you will easily remember each topic and sub-topic.
4. EXTRA TIPS
4.1. When studying a list of words or names It is really important to know how many words there are.
Make a sentence with the first letter of each word.
Make a song. You can use a jingle you already know.
Picture a scene which contains all the words.
4.2. IMPORTANT!
Highlight, bookmark and make a list of those concepts that you usually forget or make mistakes, so it is the first thing you see (and revise) the next time you study.
The night before the exam, write in a little piece of paper that thing (an important formula, something that you always forget, your keywords list…) and that’s the only thing you should revise the following day.
Talk to older students and ask them for their old exams. Your exams will probably be different, but if the teacher is the same, they’ll be similar.
5. HOW TO NAIL AN EXAM
First of all, you should take a look to the Text Anxiety Booklet. It contains a lot of information for the ones who get really anxious.
5.1. Appearance matters My teachers always say that when they are correcting our exams, illegible handwriting really pisses them off. Since they are humans, that attitude towards your exam will be unconsciously reflected on your mark. On the other hand, when they get to a visually appealing exam, they are more compassionate. Conclussion: MAKE YOUR TEACHER’S WORK EASIER.
Use your best handwriting.
Write your name on every page (if you are asked to do so).
Leave margins.
Separate your paragraphs.
Indent when necessary.
Number your pages.
5.2. Don’t ever leave a question in blank Ever. Every little point adds up to you final mark, and a blank question means 0 points. If you write something and it is wrong, you simply made a mistake. But if you don’t answer, your teacher might think that you didn’t do it because you didn’t study. However, remember that your teacher is older and wiser than you, and will notice if you are trying to fool them.
In some tests, mistakes subtract points. In that case, you’d better leave the questions you don’t know in blank unless you like taking risks.
5.3. What if you go blank First of all, wait a minute and take a deep breath. This is not a waste of time because it will actually help you do better. Now, do the rest of the exam and come back later. Then, if you still can’t remember, try retracing not what you studied but what you were doing while you were studying. Maybe you were drinking tea, maybe your father came into your room or maybe you heard something on the street. And remember that you control your breathing, and your breathing controls your feelings.
5.4. An exam is not a race I guess some people believe they’ll receive a prize if they are the first one to hand in their exam. Those people have all of my disapproval. Use all the time your teacher gives you and always, I mean ALWAYS, revise your exam before handing in it. Revise. Your. Exam. Did you follow the instructions correctly? Did you answered all the questions? Are there spelling mistakes?
That’s it. I hope you found it helpful.
