How I’ve been studying for university exams

Disclaimer: I am not an expert and this is just what has worked for me in the past year.

During the semester:

-Show up to your lectures (also the ones with no mandatory attendance)!

-Take notes during lecture (especially things not on the powerpoint). This doesn’t have to be detailed (yet).

-Do the mandatory readings when necessary. (I often only do this before the exam…)

In the weeks before the exam:

-Make a study plan so you don’t get super overwhelmed in the last few days. Plan in some buffer days if you procrastinate.

-I personally use notion to make a page with questions that I use like cue cards:

I use the toggle feature to hide the answer, so I can test if I know it. I use my notes, the powerpoints and readings to formulate these.

-Regularly review what you have studied so far!

-I also love to explain interesting concepts to my friends/family. They often ask questions that make me reflect more.

-Look at past exam questions!! Uni professors often use old questions.

-Be aware of how the exam is structured. What will your stragy be?

Go on and pass with flying colors!

time blocking method

Hi all, this is werelivingarts, a new post about time management method: TIME BLOCKING! Time blocking allows you to divide your day into big blocks and helps you to complete similar tasks in one-go without any interruptions! 

You can do your time blocking on:

Google Calendar (simple and easy to use)

Plan (drag your to-do list and organize them in blocks)

TickTick Premium (offer pomodoro timer)

Hope you find this helpful! ⭐️
