I cram fifteen minutes before a test. I remember things better like that, while it's still fresh in my mind.

First , you need to actually understand what you read. Don't just read for the sake of it , you understand ? And, you should ABSOLUTELY 150% listen to the teacher lecturing. Don't take notes while he/she is talking. You'll miss some details. Just absorb and ask questions that you don't get. For studying and memorizing, what I do is find things that kinda relate to the word. For example, vacuoles clean the thing in the cells or whatnot right? Vaccum kinda sounds like vacuoles. Chloroplasts are the green cells that capture energy from the sun I think. Chloroplasts sound like chlorophyll, a green pigment found in plants. So, that's just how I do it. If that doesn't work, make flashcards!! They really do help. Trust me. If all else fails , then sleep on it.

I study that morning before class starts. It's easy because my teachers go over the stuff really well so there is really no need to study at all. But repetition and verbal quizzing is a good way to study..flash cards..group studies (not with the talkative friends though hehe)..and persuaving the teacher to go over the lesson again to take up class time is a great study technique, so there's no test! happy.gif

I usually don't study, unless I know the test is going to be wicked hard. But I take really good notes that help a lot if I just need to review a certain topic.

Here is mine, and works out perfect XD

1. Study 3 days before a test/quiz
2. Get away from comp, acutally turn it off, stay isolated, NO MUSIC
3. Do the problems, write it out
4. I talk to myself when i work on problems, or read
5. Take notes, or so sample problems
6. Take a 15 mins in between eac hsubject i study XD

Yah, thats my technique ermm.gif

try these methods:

DONT WAIT TO THE LAST MINUTE (i need to take my own advice on that one)
understand the material

how to study for anything but math:

read your notes out loud, in your head, or write them several several times.

change the order of your notes around. that way your remembering the information.

you can make index cards

come up with stupid words to remember things. example: in french class i had to know the word le chat (pronounced le shat) which is cat. cat looks like ( and rhymes with) chat, so its easily remembered. or.. in math i had to know the order of operations.. so please excuse my dear aunt sally worked for that.. which is actually paranthesis exponents multiplication division add subtract

give yourself quizzes to see if you know it << helps a lot

how to study for math:
do problems out of all the sections, (usually the same kind ones you do for hw.. but NOT the same exact problems you do for hw) and do chapter review problems.
i get a's, so all this stuff must work somewhat lol

i won't study my quizzes until the last minute! but it works and i hv a high grade. lol. (but except for exams)

i prefer short term memory and sometimes revise my books for twice be4 the quizzes.

however, i will practise my maths and amaths in my free time.

also, i will study the subjects i like first.

I read shorthand (the professional kind, not the internet kind) off paper, in the form of study guides usually. Or sometimes I just read my notes and just try to drill it in my head. And then I always blank out before the test. mellow.gif
