:cry:help!!! i'm not studying at all!!! even though 3 days later i'll have my first exam... x_xx_xx_x

I've never studied for anything in my life, so I can't understand your pain. And I'm laughing at you right now! Hahahah!~!

Hopeless composer it definitely evil. How to concentrate:
1) Kill internet
2) Kill tv
3) Have a clean desk to study.
4) Kill handphone
5) Get some good mugging friends to study together ( if you like)
6) Have loads of rough paper but refrain from doodling

Just freak out, then cheat in the exam if it is not a major one.

Have a girl come over and then I study.......for like ten minutes. I'm a quick learner.

I like to take a 30-60 minute nap before I study. That way I feel refreshed and can easily focus on my studying.

pre exams... if possible take a week of REGULATED sleep, I mean to the dot. and take naps in the afternoon. For porsche its 30-60 min, for me its atleast 2 hours but less than 4.5 ... check what works for you!

You should have started during the year. Sorry you fail. Heh just kidding.

But really, whatever subjects your doing, throughout the year you should have summarised each chapter or topic. By the time exams comes you simply read over your summaries a few hundred times.

Heh, there's a girl on the side of me in my managerial accounting class. She studies hardcore all the time, takes crazy notes, and hasn't missed a class yet. I don't take any notes, miss half the classes (literally), and never study (as I've already mentioned in this thread).

So we got our tests back today, and of course she gets an A on it. She's all "don't worry I'm sure you did fine too." Then I got mine back, and we had the same scores. I couldn't help but laugh at her. Even though she wanted me to do well (she offered to let me cheat off her on test day, lol), I don't think she wanted me to do as well as she did. She studies a lot.
Heheheheheheheh. X3

I'm gonna kick her ass on the finals! With no effort! That'll teach her for studying! =D
As a sexist aside, I wonder if her and my own test scores have anything to do with why men run the business world?
...Just kidding, ichigirls. ;)

I'll be real this time:

I usually study either music or anime playing on my computer. I usually study better with those on then just sitting down in a quiet room. I usually doze off in matter of minutes if I don't have those turned on near me.

heh... my studying is more of a stare in blank space... :heh:
but when i have exams i usually study a couple of hours before the test...:)
some people cant do that though, like my friend, when she does that she forgets everything...

but really, i cant study or do work when im by myself and its sooo quite!
I cant stand quietness!!!

I can only study when I'm with friends, or put on music such as Caramelldansen or something to keep me awake while studying =D

It works for me, you should try x]

I have particular study music. Over the years, I've found what music I study best to (all instrumental stuff. If it's bands, then I can't help but dance/sing/whatever, lol).

If you're cramming, read all the notes you've taken and any your teacher has given you. Otherwise yeah, you should be studying throughout the year (even though I rarely do this...)

@HC: Are you just some super smart genuis or something then? I'm assuming you have loads of info about the subjects your doing otherwise from prior readings or something? If I didn't study for say, my biology classes, I would so fail because I wouldn't know the terminology and stuff.

I barely ever nap or sleep during the day..however, I'm realy nocturnal and study best late at night.

LOL! that's cool! i'll try it sometime
but television is kinda like music to me LOL!
my work desk is like 5 metres from the TV and yeah... somehow i just work with it on! LOL! :lol:

and wow, lol! nocturnal! ... Inu-Chan, i cant study late at night, somehow i just cant sit there and concentrate. Like say i sit there going ok ok ok, im gonna study, next minute i know... im at the fridge looking for food!
So... yeah, that's why i wake up early in the morning to study, which is pretty early since i have to leave home early! man! how many times did i say early? XD

haven't I seen this topic in the general discussion forum?

...i sit there going ok ok ok, im gonna study, next minute i know... im at the fridge looking for food!...


Same here ._." It's hard not to go to the fridge >.>...
I go to the fridge at least....uhmmm......10 times per night x]

HAHAH! i know! food gives us... BRAIN POWER!!! :lol:
but yeah... always hungry and distracted!
man! some people have photographic memory so they dont need to study
they just look then remembers everything! i wish i have photographic memory!

In my room in halls of residence for uni I have a fridge in my bedroom, internet on the same desk that I work from & it is never quiet, one can always hear the streets or even the people above/below.
Not really enough storage to keep a clean desk. piles of wires, the printer, laptop, TV.
I find myself having to go to the libary or getting a group together in the kitchen.

I find it easier to concentrate when listening to music..
Especially Mozart and Chopin. Don't know why though..
And also when I move around or eat chocolate.:lol:

I still got ext week before my first exam is... the i got two or three weeks til the rest. But I have a whole year to lear before the exams x_x how the hell do you end up not learning anything in a year and need to memorize most of it to get As in most of the subjects?

Anyway, from Monday this week I've been listeing to upbeat happy stuff I dislike to motivate myself to work through everything fastly. The faster I learn it the faster I get to listen to music I like. Somehow I work through everything in an amazing speed. At least i write essays really fast... I don't know about studying, since I just started after a two year break XD And I eat alot of egetables and fruits while studying, it makes me concentrate o studying instead of my eternal hunger XD

WHOA! SOOOOO HEALTHY!!!
hehe... i stick to the junkies and sugar which is pretty bad! :heh:

Fruits and vegies?
That won't do at all...
You need to get glucose running...that seriously helps!
Drink tea or sweet apple juice...or chocolate :D

I can't eat or drink anything with too much sugar, and also, if I just drink, or eat a lot of junk, I just get hungrier (and end up eating too much :heh:) So I'll stick with fruits and vegies. XD

:lol:
I guess fruits and vegies that have high glucose rating would do...
Apples!:lol:

hehe... that's what happened to me... i feel ashamed for being sooo unhealthy :sigh:



Apples!

AND BANANAS!!!! lol... i dont know whether bananas contains a lot of glucose but somehow i had this really bad urge to say bananas! :lol:

Anything that you can hold in one hand or pick at without looking at may be what your after as a study snack. I find nuts to be a good one. I'll sit at my desk reading etc just slowly munching on a pile of food.

I'm sorry, I know it's bad form to post with no real contribution to the topic, but...

*head-->desk*

Unplug your computer and turn on some music. =D Honestly, my laptop just sucked up 3 hours of my homework time. And grab a bag of Teddy Grahams or something that doesn't require preparation. Don't study in bed or with a pillow/blanket. ^_~

I've never actually "studied" for any test in my life--but if I had (possibly once of twice) I didn't do so hot. I'm that kind of learner that either learns it on impact (like, when I'm paying attention XD) or if I simply just do it a lot.. which is why I enjoy those damn study packets in math. Maybe it's how I've studied in the past, but I seem to soak it up right from the start and keep it until the tests. XD Hehe.

Good luck, everyone. ;)

^whoa! you never studied? you must be pro or something! LOL!
but then my studying is just staring at the page of text! XD

hehe! ... i usually study on a couch in front of a tv and the fridge is only 5 metres away! haha! no wonder why im always distracted! :heh:

Haha, me too! But then, who doesn't? And then that's when I start thinking, "Oh, I'll take a quick half-hour nap (read: 10 hours)" or "hey, food (for an hour)!" and...yeah. It all goes downhill. Especially since I'm done with high school now, I really have no willpower to do anything. Heck, I'm even too lazy to eat. And I LOVE food.

Blow the fuses in your house :)
