CRAMMING TIPS?

[shadows]

Wow I seriously have a bad problem procrastinating.
Got home at 2. Did nothing. And now its 8.

I have 2 Exams tomorrow (Chemistry/ Psych). Haven't started studying!

HELP OMFG

I'm seriously scared I might fail Chemistry. I seriously don't want to do anything. I just want to go to sleep and wish tomorrow will never come.

Best Cramming tips?

Best Cramming tips?

1. Divide remaining time between Chem and Psych
    If you are scared of failing chem, spend more time doing chem
2. Speed read the chapters on the SAC
3. Do every 4th question (or whatever) in textbook
4. If you don't know it, do more speed reading
5. Do every 3rd question in a practice SAC (If you are given one).

If I cram, I find that this helps good luck

Cheat.

Do not cheat

[shadows]

I'd rather do bad than cheat....

That isn't an option for me

Good on you, shadows.

After said exams, the next thing you should consider doing is to plan your catch up time so that this doesn't end up happening again. Cramming is not very helpful for you and assuming that you want to do well at the end of the year, you should start revising and doing practise questions for each section or area of study.
Good luck!

I also suggest just reading reading reading! That way, even though you don't do the questions, you might be able to take the concepts you've read, and utilise them when you approach a question. Mind you, it may or may not work for you, some people seem to learn this quick better than others..

Just read for a start I think, read and reread the chapters you need to and then do a couple of questions!


But as Jeanweasleys said, take more care and effort in planning and try and be disciplined when it comes to finishing work on time and staying up to date (go ahead if you can). I've suggested going to the library to many people as it fixed my procrastination issues! Maybe it's time you tried it too?!

If you ever come across a thought of cheating, it means you're unorganized and haven't taken the time properly study for your sac, you're the only one to blame.
I hate the thought of cramming, but at least doing something now (even if it's a little bit), will still benefit you.
Pretty much what others have said, skim read the chapters, do every 2nd or 3rd question, and complete a prac sac.

Kudos to you shadow for making the right choice.
Plus the fact, if you cheat on an exam/sac, you can't really say you completed or even passed the exam. You're only cheating yourself.

Make sure you allow yourself sufficient hours of sleep, it will improve your exam performance

Yup! Don't sacrifice too much sleep for study, and if it's essential, wake up early and study instead of staying up late.

And, prepare yourself for the worst. Seeing as you have not had sufficient study time, try not to be too ambitious. Tell yourself that this is the last time you will ever let yourself down by not studying. Here's a helpful blog that should help you with your problems and life in general. The newsletter is great and the blogger is a really cool guy: http://www.positivityblog.com/

Thanks. I honestly will be satisfied with a pass at this point.

There have been problems that have arisen in my life, teachers have noticed my grades dropping. I just hope I pass. D:

Thanks guys for your helpful tips.

I really need to change my approach to study and resolve my personal problems around after exams. I will be trying to make a drastic effort to change my approach to school in the second semester, and hopefully this will be the last exam I will be cramming for any time soon.

You're already on your way!

Just like Mr Keshy said, you're on your way and you still have some time to reform yourself. You'll get there eventually and you can let us know how you do. I too have been suffering from procrastination but I have to keep reminding myself that I'd rather go through uni in one shot than take pathways. Good luck and I'm sure you'll pass.
