Survival tips for exam week
TO SURVIVE EXAMS LIKE A BOSS
1. Get your electronics out of the way. I’m a huge advocator of technology in the classroom. But no so when you’re in your bedroom. I remember I had a chemistry exam the next day and I slept at midnight reading a novel. Even though I knew the material and the answers, I couldn’t finish the test on time because I was slower than usual and couldn’t concentrate. SLEEP IS IMPORTANT. So get your phone, tablet, laptop all out and just sleep. Learn from my mistakes people.
2. Take a day off and meal prep the shit out of your week. When I’m in exam week, I forget to eat. My bodily needs go on vacation to a dark corner of my mind and I simply forget about them until I’m at the verge of collapse from hunger and dehydration. What I did last year to avoid this is to have healthy food at hand all times by meal prepping inexpensive, light and nutritious snacks that can survive in the fridge.
3. Have your professor’s email or phone number. We are not perfect so from time to time, we are bound to cram everything in a day. In these days, it’s very beneficial to have your professor’s contact info to ask relevant questions. Be bold and ask right away if they have past tests so you can train with them in those lasts couple of hours. When cramming, it’s best to practice instead of reading. Your professor can make a huge difference in this game.
4. Make an efficient summary. If your professor isn’t willing to help (I see you Law Prof), then I recommend you to take notes using the chapter outline. You know that one page where they outline the chapters paragraph and give it numbers? It’s been extremely useful to me. Why? Because the paragraphs are usually named after the main ideas of the subject. Let me give you an example. One of my introductory classes was Marketing. The first chapter is named Wat is Marketing? The first paragraph is The definition of marketing, the second The marketing concept and the last one The role of marketing in a corporation. So knowing the answer to these 3 paragraphs should give you a strong idea of what marketing really is. A 20-page chapter was easily summarized in only 3 paragraphs. This saves me lots of time and I’m able to identify the most important info right away.
5. Organise a study session with your classmates. I have saved and have been saved by these. Just gather around 4-6 people from your class. Then make sure each one of you has mastered a part of the study material. Then teach what you’ve learned from the others. At the same time, you get to learn too without doing a lot of research.
6. Search it up. If you understand something, the esier it is for you to remember. So if you don’t understand the explanation the professor gave you, ditch him and go look on the internet for a video or article that explains it easier (or slower) for you.
7. Don’t cram it at the last minute. Yes, don’t do it. It’s likely not going to stay in your mind and it will only give you more stress. I would rec to stop learning all together some 5 hours before the exam and take a nap instead so you feel more fresh and relaxed.
8. Once you get your test, write all formulas, mnemonics and models. I like to do this before even reading the first question. This way I get all the tools I need out of my mind right away. Therefore I’ll have more space in my mind to think about the actual questions instead of thinking “what was the formula for that again?” and enter in panic.
Study Tips from someone who hardly ever studies for tests
• Pay attention to class - I know this is the most obvious one, but it’s true: if you pay attention to your teacher you are way more likely to remember the subject.
• Ask yourself questions about the subject that you are actually interested in knowing the answer for - and then look for the answers. Google it, ask your teacher, friends… Just don’t settle until you have a concrete answer.
• Agree to explain the subject to a friend - just make sure to warn them that you may explain something wrong. When you explain something, you actually learn it. Even if you don’t really understand it, helping someone is usually a better motivation to study than getting questions right.
• Be a “good” student - you don’t need to get straight A’s to be a good student. Get to class on time, finish your projects on time, ask questions out loud (or talk to the teacher after class), do your homework and other small things.
• Read, read, read - anything: fiction, non fiction, the Bible, a play, your textbooks, a children’s book or even the cereal box.

But TBH I prefer the MIT Open Coursewear approach. Feel like taking a class on the policy and economics of nuclear engineering? MIT’s got you covered:
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/find-by-topic/#cat=engineering&subcat=nuclearengineering&spec=nuclearsystemspolicyandeconomics
In fact they’ve got you covered with A LOT of their courses, everything from fine arts to immunology.
Have fun :)

The @thestudyingapollo‘s guide to summarising dense and long subjects!!
Hello guys! I’m back to normal posting schedule with something that I had been asked before and that is: how can I turn my big ass dense pile of notes into effective little summaries? Well, brace yourselves because this is something that has saved my ass in more than one occasion, and I’m hoping it will help at least one of you too!!
As you can see in the first picture, I was working on my pathology notes, which is one of the longest and most dense subject at my uni. I had to learn lots of structures, pathologies, test and names, and I was going crazy before I paired with one of my friends and the two of us turned that scary set of notes (seriously, 700 pages for one subject is no joke) into a manageable little pile of summaries, charts and diagrams! Here is the process we followed:
First of all, we worked wit our original class notes. They were dense, so we tried to highlight, following a colour-coding system, the most relevant bits of information. And you may ask yourself: how do I know what is important and what not? Well, if there is one word or sentence that helps you remember the simplest concept you’re working with and construct all the details around it, that’s what you MUST highlight. Doing it like that, you can look at your notes and remember the core of the concept, and work on remembering the rest from that simple concept.
This is no magic trick, you need to work in order for this process to work, but I assure you, it makes difficult ass subject with a lot of material much more manageable. So, don’t leave this for a week before your exam, you will die guys! Working on the notes from your class of that same weeks helps you in remembering what your professor stressed in class and you will identify the essential information much more easily! Of course, if you don’t understand something, look it up, ask your classmates and specially your professor, it’s their work help you understand the material!!!
Doing little diagrams and drawings in your original note will help you in remembering stuff and you can skip all the little details while making your summaries, concentrating only in the important stuff. The basic concepts will help you answer lots of questions in the exam and understand the little details and bits of information much better!
Try to make these little summaries after you have studied each chapter. To keep your notes organised, pick a color for each section: for example, I used orange for the digestive system, pink for the cardiovascular system, yellow for the nervous system, green for the lymphatic organs, and so on. Using bold titles written or highlighted in different colours for each section will improve your memory! Also, using BOLD TITLES is essential, and will organise your memory in little boxes and sub-sections. That way, you will remember the information easily, it will be like opening a Matryoshka doll! Of course, number each section of every chapter. Organisation is the key to success! (look at image number 3)
If there is one central branch of information, use diagrams to organise your thoughts! (just like in image 4). If there is something that refers to that information but doesn’t fit in the structure of your diagram, simply use little sticky notes! Again, use little drawings!!!
If something is too complex or there is a section that has lots of information, try to condense it into a table like in image 5! For example, in the table that you see in image 5, I compared the characteristics of the different types of Lymphoma! I put the different points I need to know of each one, and that helped me in realising the points they had in common and their differences; by doing this, you can learn the info that is common for all of them just one time, and then use your energy in memorising the differences, which is what your profs will probably test you in!
Something important you need to know is that you only need to write IMPORTANT information. Especially in college and university, professor tend to ramble a lot when they’re teaching a class, and that’s why you can’t put absolutely everything in your summaries notes, because this is not a guide on re-writing your notes, this is a guide on how to understand and organise the most important information! The basics of your subject are what are going to give you the most chances to pass, extra details are going to give you extra points, but if you don’t know the basics, extra details are useless! Also, if you have to learn difficult structures, color your drawings (like in image 6), that way you can visualise its different parts when you’re sitting the exam!
Use red or another bold color for essential info! Also, remember that you can fit a lot of info in a single sheet of paper, so try not to over do it! Too many colours can get overwhelming, and using a super duper small handwriting to fit everything in your notes is a waste of time. I know that the summaries in image 7 look super menacing, but believe me, my class notes were much, much worse. It doesn’t have to be super pretty or colourful, you can do extremely useful summaries with a blue or black byro and a couple of contrasting colours. You may think this is time consuming, but there was no way I could fit 700 pages of info in my head in top of three other subjects that were not much better! It also helped me make revision much more peaceful: when I looked at the massive pile of class notes I got nauseous even, but I could take my little set of summaries anywhere around the house and revise easily. Also, since I had already worked on all the info, revising was much easier, because I had already worked with my chapters and tried to understand them as best I could so my summaries and tables and charts made sense!!!
So, this is the process I follow for super dense subjects, and it works wonders for me, but it may not work for you! I learn a lot of stuff by writing it down in a much simpler way than it was given to me, and it makes revision for me much easier because I already worked with that. I hope this helps some of you, and if you liked this little guide, I’m open to suggestions on different ones that you may find helpful!!!

A compilation of New Year resolutions just to help you start the New Year on the right foot!
Things to do before the start of 2019:
Declutter Clean up your room, your drawers, organize your school stuff… It may sound overwhelming, but trust me, once you begin it’s easy. Start new year fresh and clean!
Get a journal! Journals are a huge cliché, but they are seriously worth all the attention. Going through 2018 with bullet journal/planner made it much much easier. You don’t have to plan. You can just doodle or write your memories down.
Recap on 2018 Did you set goals for this year? How did they go? How many new people did you met? What were the top 10 memories of this year? In which area(s) did you improve? What challenges did you have? How did you overcome them?
Set new goals! Not to be mistaken with resolutions! I think that goals are actually here to stick around. Improve your life. Set your goal, but don’t aim too high. It’s okay to take tiny steps. Then make it into smaller ones, so it’s not overwhelming. For example, my goal for 2018 was to learn to love myself. Sounds overwhelming, right? So what I did was write down all the areas that drag me down and improved upon them. I set things like: meditation, stretching, no more body checking, not watching diet videos on youtube etc. So first goals, then smaller parts of your goals, then the steps you will take for them. One at a time.
Spend New Years Eve however you want to. It’s okay to not go to party. It’s okay to stay at home with your cat and watch the TV. Not everyone thrives from big groups of people and noise. It doesn’t make you any less valuable. So get your cozy socks on and have no shame in staying in!
Reminder: You don’t need the new year to do any of these! I just find it a good time for new starts.
Have an amazing 2019!
I know there are tons of these posts about what to take to college but these are the actual practical things I used but maybe others may not think of.
So here is what I suggest you bring to college in your backpack!
A watch
This may sound weird but you will be surprised with how many classrooms/ buildings do NOT have clocks. Some form of watch is amazing when you don’t have the opportunity to sneak a glance at your phone or laptop. I know personally this is the best item and I didn’t think I would even need one in school.
Umbrella
If you live somewhere where it rains I definitely suggest this. Especially for those days where the rain comes and you weren’t prepared because walking across campus in the rain is the worst.
Chargers!
You never know when you will have a dying laptop or phone and chargers are your saving grace. (I honestly use both my phone and laptop charager at least twice a day as a commuter student)
Extra sheet of paper (if you don’t bring notebooks)
Sometimes you will have to write something on paper even if you don’t use notebooks for your notes. Professors may ask for you to write something down or turn something in.
Your id
This is such an important piece! If you live on campus you’ll need it all the time and if you don’t some schools do check-ins using your id for events or sometimes even those big classes. Also bring it outside of school! You never know if a business will give you an awesome discount!
Change
This is not super necessary but sometimes a nice thing if you need to grab something from the vending machine.
Earphones
These are great if you want to book it across campus with some good tunes, but is the best to be able to kind of isolate yourself for those library study sessions (or maybe just a netflix episode because it is nice sometimes).
Glasses
If you wear glasses this is basically a necessary so you know...
Granola bar or some snack
This is really really nice if you forget a meal or simply just need a pick me up to keep going through the day!
Layers
At my university the buildings are ridicilous in the different temperatures. Some buildings are freezing some are saunas so I suggest wearing layers to be comfortable and not freezing/burning in your classes.
Hair tie
If you pull your hair up this is really good because sometimes you need to get hot hair off your neck or sometimes you need to hunker down and do that work.
If you have anymore questions about college/university let me know! And send an ask I am always open to talk or answer anything!
REBLOG IF
- you are a studyblr
- you are super friendly
- you love when people message you
- you want to support everyone in the community
one thing i love about this community is that it is one big family and everyone is ready to support eachother. reblog this and follow the people that also reblog and start some super cute supportive friendships because you all deserve the best
