i have no idea what i should be doing to prepare for the exam?
i keep putting off studying and i should be doing alot of it.
ive been doing prac essays but i havent been getting like 100% or anything so i dont see the point in doing that, there clearly not helping.
im not sure wether im better to write out notes or do prac questions or what to make the best use of my time as there are still some things i do not quite understand.

I would review your notes and go over the things that you are not understanding or losing marks on the exam with.
Identify your weak areas and try to improve them or read the text book and so on!!! There is only 5 days left so do anything, but start today!

ummm.... practise essays in psychology???
you mean exams right?
-
Yeah this is what happened to me in the mid year exams this year... then it turned into a kind of indifference about my exam results... weird.
Picking up the book is the first step, go to the summary sections of each chapter and identify things you can't do. This is also the function of practice exams. Learn by your mistakes.

yeah i meant exams, opps.
yeah i might go over the exams ive done and check where ive lost marks, thanks heaps guys. :)

You could even go over the dot points in the study design a few times and then see what areas you are having trouble with through that.

Good point. You can also use the study design as a reference in another way. Try writing out each dot point in the study design and without looking at your books, write down as many points as you can about each dot point. It's a good way to identify your weaknesses and test your knowledge.

Excellent- it's definitely the best way to revise for sure! In terms of studying, I studied my summaries pretty intensely and thoroughly.
I learnt a majority of the key definitions associated with the study design dot points. As discussed earlier, I used the dot points of the study design as prompts to determine how well I had learnt and understood the content.
I did truck loads of exam questions, read my summaries some more and then did more exam questions lol.
