That’s about six steps too many.
Step 1 cram the night before the test
There are no other steps.
Step 2 panic after taking the test
step 3 it is what it is
You forget the step where you reconsider your life when you don’t understand any questions from the exam.
Step 2, spend 3 hours comparing your results with every person after the exam.
Optional step: calculate the minimum score you need to pass, more applicable to those of us that had courses 70-100% of the final grade coming from the final exam.
Lol yea I’ve seen many many versions of these steps, I don’t think it ever gets followed…well maybe that one over achieving kid or the one whose parents will disown them if they dare to get a B+
hey that’s me
This would be great if you didn’t have five different exams over a two week period :-/
I got anxiety just from looking at this, and I graduated college two years ago already
The hour before I would do last-minute review and it saved me often.
Absolutely! More recent memories are much easier to recall. In the hours leading up to the test you should be again reviewing the material. Exactly like you said, there have been many times when i got an answer right instead of wrong purely because i had just re-read that info again a few minutes before the test. This is especially true for a test that requires a lot of memorization.
im also going to study the night before. I by and large did not do all nighter nonsense but I don’t stop studying because its in 24 hours.
came to basically say this.
Step 1: wing it, if you need to study, you don’t know the material. Skill issue
So I raised my hands and asked god: “How can I overcome this challenge?”
“git gud” his answers was.
So I asked again: “But what if I am not good enough?”
And god answered me again and said: “lol kek”
This seems a bit dystopian to me. If you have to spend weeks prepping for a test, the test isn’t tuned to the materials covered in class very well.
I’m fascinated how British English uses “revise” where American English uses “study”. I wonder how this came about. In America, you would say “I’m studying for an exam”, but use “I’m revising my paper” to mean you already have a draft of the paper done and you are looking it over to make improvements.
Oh, is that what it meant? I was confused about the “plan your revision” part. Apparently it specifically means “to study again”, so what we’d call “reviewing” in US English.
A step it’s missing:
* Contemplate your abysmal failure repeatedly for at least a week prior to the exam, rendering you completely incapable of all normal human functions
Sure op… sure…
The sixth step looks like a scythe at a glance.
Past experiences show I be able to get any sleep, and I won’t be able to have any breakfast. I may have started studied well before the two-week mark, and have overdone it so hard I will not perform at all on the exam day.
Other than that, thank you!

Contemplate the meaninglessness of it all
-
Get over it and study for the damn test

Time budget wise I’d allot myself an hour per page if doing a report, so long as I had all the research material on hand.
