<p>I have a AP Biology and Intro calc midterm tomorrow and I havn't studied and I need to cram. However, I keep day dreaming and can't seem to focus. Any advice? </p>
<p>And Yes I know I shouldn't be cramming.</p>
<p>Cramming is not good at all. It might be good for the short term, but it's not going to help you learn the material well.</p>
<p>First, don't get on this site. Next, make sure you don't have any distractions at all. Unplug your TV and PC if you have to.</p>
<p>If you're going to cram, then review the stuff you find vague or don't understand first. Then you can touch on the stuff you know well if you have time. Make sure you get alot of sleep. It's hard to do well on an exam when you're half-asleep.</p>
<p>What works for me most of the time when cramming....
Read all of my notes before the test {literally when the teacher's passing out the test} and chant it to myself. Yes, I am weird.</p>
<p>reading right before the test helps.
chanting might annoy other people though...</p>
<p>Whenever my short attention span gets the best of me, I picture the next day. I imagine myself panicking because I don't know anything, and then my real self starts to panic, and next thing I know... I'm studying again! =)</p>
<p>Well, obviously, I'm chanting in my head. {Funny, first I typed hand instead of head. tehe}</p>
