Thanks for stopping by, this is 2 minute classroom. And today I’m going to give you my top three last minute study tips. These are tips I have used and found great success with!
So, whether you’re here because you didn’t study but still want a good grade, or just want some last minute study tips to refresh what you’ve already learned, pay attention for the next few minutes, because at least one of these tips will be new and very beneficial.
You can also find all this information and some helpful links in the video description.
Now let’s get into it!
Tip #1 is to cram.
This may go against a lot of what you have heard, and that’s because cramming is not an effective study method for long term retention.
However, it can be very effective for tests and exams.
And this is how to make it effective.
First, in the minutes before the test you should be reading through all the most important material for the exam, writing it down, repeating it over and over in your head, etc. This is the cramming portion.
This step is easier if you’ve done a little cramming the night before as well.
At some point while your cramming the teacher will indicate that the test is about to start and you should put everything away. Do so, but continue to repeat the important information in your head.
Then as soon as the teacher says “begin” You furiously begin writing down everything you have been repeating in your head. Write it on the test itself or some scratch paper. This may be things like equations, specific dates, definitions, whatever. Write it all down before you even look at the test.
Now you can start the test.
This leads us to tip #2
Answer the easy questions first.
Go through the whole test and answer the easy questions first. This is highly beneficial for two reasons.
First, it builds your confidence by giving you several small wins right off the bat, and this confidence will carry through the test.
Second,it gives you a preview of everything on the test, so your brain can start working on some of the harder problems.
This legitimately works. You know more than you think you do, and if you give your brain a head start, it can find a lot of the answers you need.
Tip #3 is to review. This was always the hardest part for me. Once I finished the test, I wanted nothing more then to turn it in and be done with it. However, every time I went back through I always found questions I had answered incorrectly. And it's usually little mistakes that are easy to fix. These are just free points waiting to be found.
One way to make the review process easier is to review each page once you have finished it. This allows you to review in much smaller chunks, so it won’t be so overwhelming.
During your review you also want to make sure you’ve answered every question. This is like, tip 3.5 - Answer every question. Even if you have no idea. As Wayne Gradezky said “You miss 100% of the questions you don’t answer.”
