Improve Your Midterm and Final Scores With This 10 Day Exam Preparation Cycle
Exams can be the most stressful part of college for many people, but they don’t have to be for you. This systematic approach to exam preparation will give you the edge you need on exam day.
Successful passing of exams does not mean learning more , but learning the right way . Tom Miller of WTF Professor invites you to prepare for exams in the same way that an athlete prepares for a big game, and focus on the specific games that will be most effective. This means you need a training schedule like Miller’s example above.
Use your notes to create two practice exams 10 days before the exam. Be sure to include questions that address both important topics and those that you know you have difficulty with. Then repeat the process over the next few days. The day before the midpoint or finale, take a quick overview of everything you’ve learned, and then give yourself time to rest and unwind before the big day. Don’t wait until your last day to try and cram it all in, and don’t waste time retraining. Spread it all out with this schedule and it should be smooth.
