Hi there Luvmusic! I think it's great that you are thinking about techniques in reviewing months before your examinations. Some people are fond of cramming and it's just wrong to do that especially with very important exams. You should read, read and read. That's what I do. You can schedule your readings by topic or by subject per day, depending upon the kind of exam you are taking and on the last month before the exam, you can hold study groups or if you do not have anyone who is also taking the test with you, you can just answer practice tests. Good luck!

That depends if you find the material interesting or not. When I didn't I would make up short stories in my head. For example in classes like chemistry (which has a lot of material) I would make stories like "Oxygen is an old man with a lot of money, and hydrogen are young girls with a lot of need, water is made because oxygen's a pimp". Since those were kind of funny, I would remember them easily (to be sincere I don't remember many anymore because It was years ago, but it worked for the tests). On classes that I did like, I would just remember the stuff if I read it enough. In classes like history I would imagine the situation, and I would remember it close enough (I'm bad with dates). In short I survived school and college with imagination. But one trick that I really find important is to not read anything just before the tests. Trying to cram things at the last minute makes you tired even before starting the test, which makes you more prone to mistakes and forgetting stuff you really know already. Sleep well the night before, eat a good breakfast/meal so you are not hungry, and take it relaxed :). If you manage to get there without being tired, hungry or too nervous, you will do fine.

I generally study daily for the examination. It doesn't mean that you have to study only during examination. But, you have to study and cover all the subjects daily. You have allocate time in such a way that you can cover all subjects on that day. Since, for you exams are near, I suggest you should prepare a timetable such that the last exam comes first and first exam last, you have to follow that time table on all circumstances.

This tips I found it accidentally when I try to cheat in my exam, I called "read and write". Just do this steps: 1. Read your study book 2. Made summary on what you read, (you have write it) This tips work for me but I don't know it work for you or not
