Exams are coming up next week and I would like to do well. I have bad study habits and would like to try new ones. Any ideas?

Make a study sheet for each class. go back through the chapters and write down everything that you have the most trouble on. Pretend its a cheat sheet that you’re going to use on the exam. It’s really helpful because you learn the info you need to learn most.

Also, a clever little way I came up with for memorization is listen to yourself. Record yourself on your computer (all you need is a cheap mic, most computers come with a recording program.) Record yourself saying all the endings or vocab words or whatever you need to memorize. (works with essays too) If you have iTunes and an iPod, import the recording into iTunes, then put it on your iPod. (If you have another form of mp3 device, you can probably do the same thing.) Then listen to it while you sleep. That way it seeps into you when your subconscience is most open. I’m not kidding, it actually works. It’s a good form of subliminal messaging. Listen to it on the way to school, to.

Hope these work, and good luck!
