Studying For Exams Made Simple

[continue..] understand it, and then I would put it away for a week or so before coming back to it again , and thats when when i would almost to the point forget what i just learned. What am i doing wrong?
Am i supposed to review all my material on a daily basis for all of my courses to keep myself from forgetting wh...at i have learned?

My final exams are next month, and i really hope i can change my poor studying habits soon
thanks

Hey Rob,

I love the way you break down methods to study... It's easy to follow and makes a lot of sense....
However, despite your great advice, I still have difficulty... so my problem is as follows:

I have actually reevaluated my study strategies several times and all have resulted in a low grade. I don't highlight my ...text books or underline my notes, but I do rewrite main ideas and important details. I use the repetition strategy, which, for a long while worked, but has recently stopped. I read my material out loud, and asked friends to test me, but I still end up with low test scores. I find myself frustrated with this because before taking the exam I feel confident and prepared, which is why it shocks me to recieve my low and unexpected grade. How can I change my strategy once again to help me finally get the grades I think I should be getting now? I don't know how much failure I can take, especially considering the amount of effort I put into studying...
Thank you...Read More

Hi Sangeeta...

The only way you're gonna have any chance of keeping up with all that is to have a system. There's just no way to process large amounts of information without one. Imagine if there was no system of categorizing books in a library. You'd spend days trying to find the book you're after and end up wasting a ...lot of time. The same goes for studying and it sounds like you have very little time to waste.

There are lots of study systems out there but I found most of them were BS so I developed my own. You can find out more about it here...

hello there!
I am a third year biomedical engineering student. We ve college from 9 to 4 6 days a week and till 1pm on saturdays. n travelling to college takes 2 hrs. to add to that we ve to attend classes coz the proffs r not up to da mark. to add to dat we r given topics dat r not taught in class as presentations in ...like 3 subjects out of 6. so we end up focussing more on theory subjects rather than subjects dat actually need time n effort. and ther are a lot of home assignments too. all this pressure is a bit too much 2 handle, leavin little time for sleep, rest and studyin. as the exams come closer the pressure mounts up even more n i become really sleepless. i waste more time in worryin and tryin to sleep which eats up my time to revise.m sure i cud do a lot better in my exams if i cud just get over gettin tensed n sleepless. the sleeplessness started around a year ago. pls help m really tensed all the time.

Hi Priya...

I can understand how you'd be stressed about 10 exams! I have an answer to your question but unfortunately it's part of the tactics section of the study system I sell which you can see at the top of this page. I've been giving away most of the strategy (not the actual tactics or steps) of my system here in F...acebook but I can't reveal everything otherwise no-one will buy my study system.

Hope you understand... Rob (thanks for the x)Read More
