| It depends on what kind of notes they are. If it's mathematical it's totally different then if you have to remember facts, which is totally different than if you need to interpret arguments, etc. STATE YOUR DAMN EXIGENCY FOO (provide details) |

look over old tests given you've been paying attention all semester
use notes for whatever area you don't understand while reviewing the tests |

Technical class:
Go through everything and condense it down to a few note sheets.
If there are practice exams, do those, looking up anything you don't know.
Non-technical class:
Read every page. |

make a schedule of how many pages / hour you have to be getting done and stick to it.. WITH PASSION.
be sure to have some relax time scheduled too. like half an hour of rest after every 3 hours or something. there's no way you can do 8 hours of non stop study and be efficient.
you could also consider some time in the end for repetition. personally, it doesn't work for me without it.
if you find that you can't get it all done in the time available, decide some parts to be left out, focus hard on the rest, and hope for the best.

now get your ass off internet and study  |

| The best option is really some sort of stimulant. If you can get your hands on adderall, that's the best, but ephedrine will also serve your purposes (can be difficult to find these days) |

| Go through old tests and study hardcore every question you had a problem with, use left over time (if there is any) to study the areas you skipped. |

| If you're fit enough, go for a run before the exam. It doesn't need to be fast or long, just to wake you up and refresh your mind. |

1) Get off TL
2) Get off TL ...
Personally, I don't use any tricks or secrets when studying. Tell yourself that you're fucked if you don't study and just grind through it. Yeah, it's annoying and boring as hell. Nothing you can do. Force yourself to constantly stay focused. It'll be hard but possible. When you actually get down to it, spend more time on the derivation of formulas and fundamental concepts if it's a technical course. It's better to know how to derive a formula than to memorize it. After getting down the fundamentals, do HARD problems. Don't waste your time on easy 2-second ones.
If it isn't a technical course, stop and go to sleep. Last-minute studying isn't likely to help. |

| with so little time, i'd say just do the practice papers and if you're unsure of anything, flip through your notes and look for that section. chances are they'll repeat questions with some variations. |

| I've been in this situation every second night for my past week of exams. I had about 50 pages to do as well. I just read through it all at a decent pace and typed up anything I found I couldn't memorise fully, then go through the document that I had made in the end like twice to make sure I knew the unsure stuff. That took about 4 hours, then I just did as many old papers or practise questions as much as possible. |

I disagree. In my opinion, this is close to the worst option. Don't rely on drugs when you are in a fairly default situation. If you have a one time emergency and you start popping red bulls or some shit I won't give you a hard time, but I don't think turning to drugs for a practice 'method' is what you want to do.
Edit: Depending on what you mean by 50 pages of 'notes' you might be in an emergency situation. Why are you in this situation?Last edit: 2008-06-11 11:27:53 |
