For me and many others, AP exams are just around the corner. For the rest of the student population, Testing time is fast approaching and I was curious as to your study/preparation habits.

Well, it's a good thing you could still participate here in mylot even if you're busy for the upcoming exams. I know just how difficult it is to review for so many subjects in such a short time. My youngest sibling is the only one still studying in college; and just like you, she is about to take her final exams before she could go into vacation. In fact, she is quite hard-up in accomplishing every academic requirements needed in almost every subject she has. For one, she and her other classmates were tasked by their Computer subject professor to create their own website. Admittedly, she has no knowledge in making one. Fortunately, my younger sister took a Computer Management course and somehow, she is willing to help her. Then, she also has to finish the practice set given by their Accounting subject lady professor. Luckily, I am an Accounting graduate, although I'm not a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) Board passer; but I do know something about the subject. But personally, I've been over with these sort of written examinations in school. I've graduated more than a decade ago and presently I'm facing the more rigorous tests in real life. I've been married for almost 6 years now and we do have 1 daughter for a child. Anyway, good luck to your upcoming exams in school.

Two weeks before the examination, i start reading my notes and at the same time i try expanding its definition on my own. Then during my vacant times, i sit alone in a corner and trying to recall those terms i read and defining it. That's how I study in preparation for the examination.

Hi there! I am preparing for my final examinations right now. Well, what I do is that I study alone in a quiet room and I take a break every now and then. Then I go back to studying again. I have a schedule on what I should study during each day. Hope I helped. Goodluck on your exams.

It's best to make sure you have all your notes in order really early, so that you have time to fill any gaps. Then make a comprehensive set of notes which you will use specifically for revision. This is usually how I used to go about doing it

The beginning of April is my Final Exam week. Wow, I have seven subjects to study and for me, to study a day before exams is never work! So what I do is, to prepare my Final Exam Plan, around a month before exam. List all topics that cover in the exam for each subject and start to study it. I must have a week goal, what must i learn and so on. I also maintain my time, because usually a month before exam I will have various project, presentation, and papers to submit before the Final Exam. Futher more, I also maintain my health. I do not want to get ill in the final exam, so choose my food perfectly and eat ontime, threee times a day. Good luck for your exam! Happy myLotting!
