this isn’t a post about how to study late @ night, because as a fuck up I never study before 6PM so I stay up till 6AM a day before the exam to cram, but because I am studying now (haha) and its also 4:00PM (haha) I think its appropriate to make a small ‘how am I not kicked out of university’ study guide. so here goes, and heres what I do before an exam
if you’re an audio learner (learn best by someone explaining), record the lecture even if you sleep in class keep your recorder on
when you re-listen to them later (2 days before the exam) open them on VLC and speed them up to 1.33-1.45 (preference) or higher if your prof talks slow so it makes the process quicker
if you have powerpoints as study material, TYPE out all the slide text onto a word document, even if you don’t fucking get it just do it (better if you read it and try to understand, but either way)
after you’ve typed up your 20 page guide, print it out and have it with you when you listen to the lectures
while listening to the lecture take notes ON the guide instead of of the powerpoint and look @ the slides for picture references this makes what you write stick better in your head
(rather than listening to the recording and then typing out the slides which is what I used to do, doing the process above speeds things up rapidly because you don’t have to pause the hour long recording to type)
circle, highlight, underline, write additional notes ON your guide as you’re listening and once you’re done go BACK and re-read and re-circle, re-highlight, re-underline, re-write additional notes
sleep on it and you’ll be ready tomorrow morning
oh and also invest in erasable colored pens because dat shit is cool
this is actually how a shit student like me can get A’s in biology (and really any course that requires memorization), so *neil buchanan from art attack’s voice* try it yourselves!
