How To Study Hardcore?

Okay, so I have many tests tomorrow, and I need some studying tips.

• How long should I take breaks?
• Should I play video games at all today?

Any other info would be great.

(oh, and I already know what kind of environment I like to study in.)

Quiet, open spaces.

Watch lots and see how it's done?

Ok so you like Quiet Open Spaces for your study environment. That means... eliminate the distractions and noises. If you have a spacious living room, sit in the MIDDLE of it... create an open environment. Take a break every 15 minutes to 1/2 hr, just to re-focus yourself... not long breaks, just like 2 minute breaks or bathroom and food/drink breaks. No games till studying is over... well if you are like me that is and end up getting too involved in the game... if you can easily break away from it, then maybe half way through take a lil game break but i dont really reccommend it.

I am definitely not an expert, but...

Take breaks for as long as you need before you feel ready to start studying again.

No videogames at all. Try not to think about them as this can get the distracting thought stuck in your head. If you were to play videogames you might not be able to loose the thought for quite a while after you stop.

There's always more that you can do to help and I'm sure other people have already contributed some of the most useful information.

I usually just read what I need to study and create an outline for it. Then I'll take a little break (maybe an hour) and then go back and read it over and keep writing my outline.

OR

Don't procrastinate. If you procrastinate and lack the skills to adequately gain information needed to pass the test, then you deserve to fail.

I seemed to do well in January by cramming for a couple of hours. If you have any practise exam questions they are great.

you can study hardcore?...........

anyway just get down to buisness push every distraction out of your room or w/e

It's already too late. The best way to study (and research backs this up) is two days before an exam. This gives your brain time to organize information during sleep. At the very least try and get a few hours of sleep before your exams, otherwise chances are you'll sit down and forget everything you spent all night looking at.

This is what I do, its very simple but very time consuming. I study my notes and other hand outs ten times, I also study the book 6 to ten times focusing on concepts and definitions. I would definetely take a break when you mind begins to wonder, and I would saying that playing some video games would be ok, just not to the point where you dont study. One last thing, dont study one day before the test, at least try to study three days before studying so you can really remember it.

It's not that hard dude. Just turn off the NES and hit and the books.

Listen to A Day to Remember.

That's a good start...

It depends on the information you are learning and what you're given by the instructor. For example for my tests, we are just told the chapters they're going to cover. So I will study the first chapter, reading slowly and carefully, reading everything, the examples and such, then go over the review at the end of the chapter. Then I'll go through it again, but rather quickly and more or less skimming. Then I'll go to the second chapter and do the same as I did for the first, slowly and taking it all in, going back to review whatever questions pop into my mind, to get my questions answered then and there while I am thinking of them. Then when i'm done with the second, go over the first then second again. Then the third comes along, read it then go back to the 2nd, then 3rd again. Basically, I don't continually go back to the first chapter of whatever I'm studying because it's either repeated and applied throughout the following chapters, or the material is easily memorized. Basically, read chapters 1 and 2, once done with 2, go back to chapter 1 and see what questions I can answer from memory from that chapter. If I can't answer any, then re-read the chapter.

This also entirely depends on whether or not you've actually been keeping up in the class, actually reading everything you're supposed to and studying like you're supposed to. The kind of studying I'm talking about is for just straight up cramming it all in there to get an A on your test the next day without having previously studied the content at all. When I study like this, I generally don't take breaks except to use the bathroom and grab a drink, or else I will break my study mood. My last math test I studied for like 14 hours straight, but I got an 'A' so I was happy. I don't recommend this type of studying to be honest.
