☆HOW TO PROPERLY PREPARE 4 AN EXAM☆

Studying for exams is something essential in students lives. We all spend most of our time preparing for those sheets of paper that we are so afraid of and, sometimes, we do it in the wrong way without even noticing it.

Some of us use study-to-pass methods, which aren't effective because you will end up forgetting everything that you studied!!

That's why we all should learn how to study in a way that we don't only pass the exam, but also remember everything (or most part of it).

So, here, I'm going to show you not only how to properly prepare for an exam, but also how to keep those things that you studied in your long-term memory, so you don't forget them!!

A little disclaimer: this is how I prepare for exams, but that doesn't mean that you have to prepare for exams like this too, and that's ok <333 Everyone is different, so our study and organization methods are. Just try this method and, if it doesn't work, you can try another one or even make your own!!

For being able to prepare properly, you will have to start studying from four to two weeks before the exam, it depends on how difficult you find the subject and how easy it is for you to study.

The steps to prepare for an exam are:

1.- Plan your study sessions

Planning our study sessions ahead is very important if we want to stay organized. But, how do we do that??

First, write a list of all the things that you will have to study for the exam.

In a calendar (it can be weekly or monthly) write which day you are going to study each of the things that are on the list.

Leave two or three days before the exam for revision, which means that you won't study, only review what you have already studied.

2.- Eliminate distractions

Before we start studying for an exam, we have to declutter our workspace. Put away the things that may distract you and leave only the stuff that you will need for your study sessions, such as your stationery, your laptop, etc.

Once you have ended with physical distractions, it's time to end with the virtual ones. Set time limits on your phone or delete some apps, and install website blockers on your computer.

Since we won't have anything that distracts us, it will be easier for us to stay focused.

3.- Start studying!!

Once you have done those steps, it's time to sit down, open your books and start studying.

Make sure that you follow your study plan correctly and that you don't procrastinate.

Each time that you finish studying and understanding very well a certain topic, cross it out on the list, so you know that you won’t have to put a lot of effort into it when you review it.

And when there's a topic that it's more difficult for you, mark it with a circle or something like that, so you know that you will have to review it more.

~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡~

Now, you just need to know how to properly study and review.

• Active studying vs passive studying

Usually, students that study actively tend to have better results than students that don’t.

By studying actively, you don’t only make sure that you understand a certain topic, but you also retain that information in your brain for more time, or in other words, in your long term memory.

So, you have to avoid passive study methods, such as only reading your notes, textbooks, etc.

You have to avoid the easy and effortless methods because they’re not the more effective.

Some active study methods are:

The 60 seconds review

After every class, take 1 min to write the two or three main ideas by memory.

Rewrite your notes

Write them in your own words, using keywords and simple definitions that are easy to memorise.

Test yourself

Before studying something, write some questions about the most important things and, after studying, answer them

Don’t memorise, learn

Try to explain a topic in your own words to make sure that you understand it. Once you do so, study it (if you do it in your own words too it’s better).

You can find more active study methods on YouTube by searching “Active recall”, but these ones are the ones that I use!!

All these methods force your brain to think about what you have studied or what you are about to start studying. This helps to keep that information in your long term memory.

• Review

As I said before, you have to leave some days before your exam to review all that you have studied.

By reviewing all the information, your brain remembers it and slowly starts to keep it in your long term memory (because reviewing is an active study method too!!).

The steps for reviewing in a proper way are pretty easy:

1.- Take a paper

Divide a paper into 5 sections:

Title of the topic

General information

Keywords and their definitions

Things you forgot

Corrections

2.- Write

Put away your notes and books and complete each section by memory except the ones of things you forgot and corrections.

3.- What went wrong?

Take your textbooks and notes and compare what you wrote with what it’s written.

Write the corrections in the “correction” section

Write the things you forgot in the “things you forgot” section

4.- Review

Just review what you didn’t remember or what you were wrong at.

5.- Repeat

Do the whole process again until you get it all correct.

~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡ ~♡~

While you are studying for an exam, you have to consider some things that don’t have anything to do with studying, but that will help you to prepare properly and to succeed:

• Take breaks

Studying is very important, but resting is too.

When we study a lot of time, we end up feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, that's why we have to take breaks during our study sessions. They shouldn't be only breaks of ten minutes but of half an hour or so. Remember to don't use your phone or any technology on the breaks, because if you do so, you won't relax at all. Do a chill activity, such as reading, writing, drawing, painting, etc.

Also, by resting for a long period of time, your brain will be able to retain the stuff that you studied before more easily.

• Sleep enough time

We need to sleep because it gives us the energy that we need for the day.

You should sleep from 8 to 10 hours per day if you want to be fully rested, so stop sleeping just because you have to study isn't a good idea.

• Have water and snacks near you

Staying hydrated and eating is something VERY important for everyone.

It's normal to feel thirsty or hungry while you are studying, that's why I recommend having a water bottle and some healthy snacks always on your workspace to avoid standing up, going to the kitchen and, as a consequence, stop being focused on what you were doing.

(omg this is so long- I’m sorry lol)

I hope that you find this guide helpful!!!

Act like the person you want to become~

Take care!! ♡

trying to find a woman talk about the same topic but this video is good enough for keeping me on track today

[madnesssf10]

ang haba pero ang ganda. kasi ganto yung saktong nararamdaman ko kapag minsan may notion yung kabilang side ng pamilya ko na sana someday mapatawad ko erpat ko. o kaya yung medyo pa-guilty sabihin na tatay mo pa rin yan. because i don’t see myself forgiving those who don’t even have the courage to ask for forgiveness, let alone change for the better. the past few years bumabalik lang kami sa vicious cycle until i told my mother i had enough na sana siya rin. ako na yung nagbigay ng ultimatum na ayoko na ng ganun sa buhay ko. mas tahimik pa yung buhay namin nang wala siya.

gusto ko yung sinabi niya na “anger freed me. anger helped me put my foot down and say i did not consent to this pain you gave me…” because i feel the same. kahit dalhin ko pa tong anger na to sa hukay ko i will never forgive and accept na di mo kaya magbago for the better o kahit para sa mga taong mahal mo.

kaya thankful din ako na naiintindihan ni Leo galit ko. di niya ko giniguilt na makipagreconcile at gamitin yung “tatay mo pa rin yan” card because he knows how horrid my dad was.

[madnesssf10]

every minute spent on planning saves you ten minutes spent on execution. short essays probably don’t require that much preparation beforehand, but if you’re writing something longer you should probably spend some time planning first. this is the process i go through when planning my essays, and i find it works really well!

How do you fall back in love with life?

clean your room.  clean space, uncluttered space, space that doesn’t have miasma clinging to it can work wonders.  clean the dishes.  sweep.  take out the trash.  peel the clothes off the floor and wash them, and then actually fold/hang them.  take a long shower.  scrub behind your knees.  brush your teeth.  (this can be utterly exhausting, but try to get it done in a day, if you can.  the end result is worth it.)

pull out your notebook.  it doesn’t need to be a new notebook, but preferably one that you don’t usually write in, or that you haven’t touched in a while.  fuck moleskins.  the yellow legal pad will work fine.  sit in your room, or in the park, or in the library, and write a list.  count clouds.  describe all the colors that you see, and note patterns that arise.  sketch the cracks in the walls.  note the shape light makes when it enters a space.  talk about what the air tastes like, smells like.  what sounds are there?  even the white nose, break that down: air planes, fans, cicadas, anything.  remind yourself that you are sitting in the middle of a space brimming with detail.  remind yourself that you are not in nothingness and emptiness.  your world is fathomless.  it has potential.

drink cold water and try to eat something that isn’t processed.  it does not need to be fancy.  buy yourself an apple with the change between your couch cushions.  eat it outside.  if you’re someone who walks, walk somewhere afterwards, just to stretch your legs.  take your fucking meds.  remember that its a good thing that you are inside your body.  your body is a fantastic and endlessly intricate machine, and even though society has smacked a bunch of poisonous ideas on it, that doesn’t change its inherent worth and splendor.  take care of it.

read a novel.  underline your favorite lines, and write phrases that twist your heart inside your chest on the back of your hand with an ink pen.  read a novel like it’s poetry.  read poetry, something decadent but unpretentious.  watch a movie you haven’t seen before.  if there are free art galleries near you, walk through one.  take your time.  let yourself bask.  if there are patterns in what makes your soul ache, write those patterns down – marbles arches or soot crumbling bricks or dandelions or descriptions of dresses or whatever it is, write them down.

your chosen family is important.  remember, they picked you as much as you picked them.  the love has no obligation.  it is given freely and it is given from a place of compassion.  you are not a burden.  if you need to breathe, take a minute by yourself and just exist, but remember to go back to your people.  when they need you, listen and be gracious.  always be gracious.  the universe sometimes remembers things like that.

listen to new music.  link jump on youtube or related artist jump on spotify or ask the chap beside you in the cafe what their favorite band is, and listen to that.  listen to something that you don’t usually listen to.  we tend to tie up a lot of memory with music.  we are falling in love again.  the soundtrack needs to be specific to that.  

allow yourself to indulge in romantics.  press flowers in old books.  play movies with subtitles and mouth the words.  dance in your room.  wear something that makes you feel good, even if you wouldn’t wear it in public.  write your chosen family letters, even if you hand deliver them.  write poetry, even awful poetry.  revel in its awfulness.  eat dark chocolate and when your chosen family want to go out, try to go out with them sometimes, even if its just to the market.

Villanelle would probably do this workout with that outfit from her kill at Amsterdam’s Red District. The one with the pig mask and fluffy pink dress.
