Studying for the exam on Wednesday

[rhino-studies]

Eating while studying is something you do when you fall asleep the day before your exam and cannot study. #studygram #studyblr #studyspo #exam #tuesday #pasta

First study session (realted to my courses) of the semester. Yaay! Psychology is fun #psychology #studyspo #studygram #egbcommunity

My dorm desk :) I can fit my PC, books, and a notebook while I study on it. I painted the crate, and decorated the pencil holder right next to it with washi tapes. It was a wafer container before. I have two postcards: one from a friend and the other came inside a Steven Wilson album who is my favorite musician. I also put my succulent and reed diffuser but I haven't started diffusing it yet, it smells jasmine #studyspo #studygram #insurgents #stevenwison #jasmine #reeddiffuser #succulents

Weekend study. I was too lazy during my vacation and now I have to read 2 really difficult chapters. Also, the fall themed starbucks cups are soooo pretty! #studygram #studyblr #stydyspo #coffee #weekend

16-sep-2016 8 am and I am writing my summer training report. Honestly, I wrote what I had not done more than I had done. Follow my studygram: rhinostudies

13-sep-2016 Writing down some recipes for the upcoming semester. I have bought a blender to make quick smoothies as breakfast. I can make soup, too! Anything is possible with a blender :p

my study moods

Tired but still going: eyes twitching, didn't sleep more than two hours last night (or not at all), "I can study a little bit more, it's okay"

Not today: opens book, reads a word, sighs, closes book

Doing a lot, learning a little: drinks 7 liters of coffee while listening to someone explain magnetic fields (even through I'm taking notes on biology), thinking about my to do list

The procrastinator: "I know I have like 36 chapters for tomorrow but I suddenly have this urge to research about aromatherapy"

Time traveling: studies for nine hours straight, "when did the sun go down?"

Inverse pomodoro: is very proud because I wrote like two sentences, time to take a four hours break

Hate/love relationship: "I hate this subject" I mumble as I keep studying it

[rhino-studies]

Planted succulents from my mom's pots. Added tiny stones to make it look prettier, I don't want a dull desk to study on. Make studyspos great again! :p Follow my studygram: rhinostudies

Tried out my mom’s stamps. They are sooo cute. She has lots of them, it was fun to try each of them as much as possible. Some of them were giant stamps, really, it was so hard to put ink on them. Applied the one from Muji (letters and numbers) for a bujo header. Also shared on my studygram

Active Study Tasks

Hi everyone! One of the hardest things to do is active studying before exams! While many of us study hard, we may not be considering that we are not studying actively! Passive studying is things such as only reading previously highlighted material and continuously reciting the same information over and over. To actively study, first break your study time down into two different categories: Preparation and Review! 

The key to Preparation is ICOW! Identify, Condense, Organize, and Write. These strategies will help you do it:

Develop study sheets

Develop concept maps and charts

Create flash cards for vocab, questions, formulas and problems

Make self-tests

Remark (rehighlight or review previously highlighted material and finding what is the most important information)

Find practice problems

Outline

Rewrite any notes

Summarize text or lecture notes into main ideas

List the steps needed for a problem or concept

Plan essay answers

Answer questions at the end of the chapter.

Prepare material for a study group

Create a 5-Day study plan

Next you want to actually Review the information you gathered through your prep. The key to review is RE-USE: Rehearse, Extend, Understand, Self-Test, and Evaluate. Here are some strategies:

Recite outloud information from your study sheets

Replicate concept maps with little to no help

Recite any flashcards you made. Separate out any difficult cards so that you can continue to review them. 

Practice writing formulas

Complete practice problems, circle steps you did wrong and try again in a different pen color (to help you identify the differences)

Take the self-tests you made before. 

Attempt reverse testing. Make questions out of the answers from before and work them backwards.

Take notes on remarked tests and notes

Explain material to group members

Write essay answers from memory

Go through lecture slides or textbook and recite all the information you know based off of the heading. 

Evaluate how much you know and how much you have to review again. Take longer in reviewing missed material and simply review information you learned quickly for the end of your study session. 

Note: Many of these tasks are from the book Taking Charge of Your Learning by Dianna Blerkom

Chemistry: Aries, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Aquarius

Physics: no one fucking deserves to have physics lmao

[academla]

This is so true on all levels I’m chem and chem was the subject I expected to hate but ended up loving and acing Don’t get me started on physics

[rhino-studies]

Physics was my favorite subject and always wanted to be an astrophysicist, yet, I have failed so many times in high school until 12th grade (my fifth year). That year I changed my field and got no science classes.
