I study about 5 days before exams, or else I would forget everything.

So how many days do you study before exams?

One >_<

No, half. I start the night before.

And that's why I do badly >_>

It worked in high school but it's really not cutting it in college. It might if I ever went to classes, though. *resolves to go to classes next year* ^_^

I study the night before or even on the morning. I'm awful at studying, so it's amazing that I even try that at all. I usually do just well enough without studying, but high school has actually been taking some effort. :/

An hour before, studying until the exam. Otherwise I wouldn't remember. :fpcow:

I'm with Sploddess on this one. I look over my books, but I don't really study because I make sure I know the stuff I'm learning as I'm learning it.

I constantly revise all through the school year. :(

I don't, but I'm somehow special and when I'm sitting in class everything the teacher says is absorbed like my brain is a sponge, I remember entire lectures! It's spooky!

I usually study the day before the exams.

If I missed some notes or a few days of classes, I take the time to jot down some notes from the book on stuff I missed.

I don't.

Same here. If I take the notes, that's usually all I need to remember all the material and ace the exam. For some of my harder classes, I might skim over the notes five or ten minutes before class, but otherwise, I'm not big on studying. I really can't do it.

If i take it in in class, i wont study, if i don't, i'll do nothing. I'm laaaaaaazy, so i don't bother and wing everything

i never study... I goto class, take notes, and sleep at least 6-8 hours a day...

That's all you need to help you remember something.

I usually just wing it. Revision periods = more drinking time. :}

Usually the night before, sometimes for two days before if I know it's going to be really hard.

Depends on the subject. For maths I do a couple of papers in the run up, make sure I've got it down. The only subject I really sit down and LEARN is Chemistry for it is the DEAMON SUBJECT!!!!... I don't like it much if you didnt get that

Shoeberto

Depend on the subject. A difficult one would be a day or two before and then up to the exam. An easy one might just be a quick once-over before the exam.

I never studied.

It depends who will be sitting next to me when I take the test. :)

Although I always make sure my eyes are in the best of shape 3 days before a test, if that helps.

I'm starting to think that Foa is mind probing me as she always takes the words straight out of my mouth.

I revise about 3-4 days before, depends on the exam. I always revise the morning of the exam, get things in my brain, so I'mm ready:D :D :D

I want to get super high crazy good marks, so I study like a super high crazy fool.

Yea, I study for a week before my exams start. It really helps me to keep up my high average.

I'm just glad they don't have an attendence mark, otherwise I'd be screwed. :exdee:

I went on study leave about 2 weeks ago and my first A-level is in a week.

I think I started revising roughly a month ago, although I have only started doing it properly in the last two weeks.

I start studying a week before the exam. Well, I just started that timetable this time, and I don't know if it's been effective, heh. I guess I'll be able to tell after my first exam this afternoon...

Raven Nox

I don't study, and I normally pass with flying colors, or I pass, which ever. Don't, really fail exams... even in Math when I don't know how to actually do it, I wing it and do fine.

Depends. If it's a hard class, maybe I'll look over the crap for 5 minutes late night before. If it's an easy class, maybe the first couple minutes of class. It's just not possible for me to study. I've tried, but i just can't do it. Especially now, with the end of the year coming up. I'm burned out, man, I can't study! Last week of school=ghey.


:D

I usually study my notes as I walk to the class. If it's a lot of homounhappiness memorization I might look it over the night before too.

Social Moon Firesky

It depends. For really important exams, I look over my notes the night before, but do little chunks of revision a couple of weeks before. If it's something I'm confident in, I'll read over my notes anyway, and if it's something I don't care about or isn't important (RE exam), I won't revise at all. :D

i don't revise at all it takes my mind away from things and it stresses me out making me forget stuff

Either the night or morning before the exam hehe. If I start revising too early then I'm just going to forget everything

I only ever revise if I need to. If I know the criteria for the exam, I just don't bother.

The morning the exam is due, usually standing outside the room waiting to go in. Though I did do some the night before with my A-levels. (I think.)

Revision was hard to do with my A-levels though. All I could learn was which theorist created which theory, because everything else was analyzing whatever you got in the exam papers. (A poem, or newspaper article, or whatever.) Or for media it involved discussing various issues.

I don't study. But I'm a sophmore in High School, so that'll probably change when my grades start slipping. Here in Central Florida exams are worth 20% of our grades, which means they're usually one letter grade up or down.

Maybe about the last five minutes before if any.
