<p>I'm pretty set in my ways with studying, so I don't need advice, but I was just wondering how most people study for tests, quizzes, exams, etc. </p>
<p>How do you approach it and how much time do you spend? Do you wait for the night before, or study far in advance?</p>
<p>Always the night before. I have to learn a whole semester of AP chem in 7 hours tonight.</p>
<p>The night before
the class before
the lunch before
the minute before</p>
<p>the night before
the class before
the 5 minutes before
or
just the 5 minutes before</p>
<p>Depends on the subject
Pre-cal: A little the night before and a little the next morning
AP English: 5 mins before
AP Chem: The night before
Physics: The night before and the study period before
APUSH: 5 mins the night before
AP Java: Don’t study at all
Latin (when I had it): 5 mins before</p>
<p>I usually type up all my book/class notes to review the material and then look over it.</p>
<p>AP German - don’t study and get A+s.
AP Calc BC - night before. Just do 5-7 problems from each section in the chapter.
AP Bio - 2-3 nights before. Type up notes, reread book, reread notes, group study with friends, memorize stuff, do practice questions, etc.
AP Econ - night before. Type up notes and pure memorization.
English - don’t study, I just do the reading and I’m good.</p>
<p>I recopy my notes, read the textbook, do practice problems (if applicable), and pay attention in class. That’s by far the most important–just rolling the material around in my head helps me make connections, etcetc.</p>
<p>Morality - I don’t study.
English - Glance over notes - do the test that teacher puts online and copy onto a notecard (for use while doing the test!)
Pre-Calc - Study the night before - do a bunch of practice problems.
Spanish 3 - Before school and as I walk into the class.
US History - Re-read the chapter the night before the test.
AP Chem - Do practice problems before school and night before test</p>
<p>Pre-Calc - study the night before. Do problems from each chapter. Gonna do a 3-hour study session tonight because we have the semester test tomorrow.
Chemistry - look over notes the night before
English - wing it
Government - haven’t read a page of the book and I have a 101 in that class.
Spanish II - look over notes in the class before (which happens to be government lol)</p>
<p>my other 3 classes don’t have tests, so there’s no studying for them. (Art II, Adv. CAD, and P. Conditioning).</p>
<p>Spanish - Skim over the grammar, maybe reread the short story if it’s that kind of test
Philosophy - death. Read my responses to the essay questions until I’m sick of it.
Physics - don’t study
Music - read the chapter the night before
English - Sparknotes
Bio - I’ve already read the chapter by the night before, so just review the powerpoint</p>
<p>Idk my study skills fail at the moment, clearly.</p>
<p>I just do the homework. I can’t study efficiently for finals.</p>
<p>Usually, I don’t do more than 3 hours of homework a night, maximum, with 3 APs, 2 honors, and Academic Decathlon. I feel lazy.</p>
<p>I think I coasted this semester, or at least I feel like it. I got all the grades I wanted except in math and AP Chemistry. (B)</p>
<p>AP Chemistry: Night before
AP Art History: Used to be night before. I got tired of my teacher’s psycho methods making me stay up to 5. Literally.
AP U.S. Gov.: Don’t or just a few minutes day of
AP World: Night before</p>
<p>I dont study</p>
<p>How do I study? Thats one of my major problems, I don’t study. Geez, I definately will study in college with a passion though. I try to study during final exams, I soon will improve study habbits, but oh well I’ll be starting new in college.</p>
<p>take psychoactive drugs?</p>
<p>Like many others on here, I have trouble with my work ethic and studying. I used to never *do homework,<a href=“at%20least%20never%20at%20home”>/I</a>, let alone study at all before this year (junior year). I started doing decent amounts of hw this year though (still mostly at school…meh).</p>
<p>Anyways…
Calculus BC - Like an hour the night before cramming in formulas for the whole chapter, solve a few problems. This is a problem since teacher doesn’t teach, I don’t pay attention or do any homework (well, I copy from the back of the book 5 minutes before the period), so I end up getting B’s on the tests.</p>
<p>AP English - no studying required. I’m pretty solid with my intuitive sense of reading, writing and analysis.</p>
<p>AP Chem - Don’t really study other than 10 minutes before the test memorizing the formulas. Pay attention a bit in class, that’s it.</p>
<p>AP Physics - Don’t really study; solve a few problems sometimes.</p>
<p>AP US history - I don’t usually study or read the chapters - here is the killer, since history’s factual and memorization based. I normally don’t do anything until like the night before the test when I opt to use the “AP outline summary” book given to us, reading that for like an hour cramming in a normal 5-6 chapter’s worth of information. I would get C+'s without the curve, but since it’s curved I get by with B’s.</p>
<p>French - no studying required, a joke.</p>
<p>So yeah…absolutely minimal, almost nonexistent studying and usually spending my time doing pointless stuff online or hanging out with friends.</p>
<p>When you’re a good student, studying’s the easy part. I try to learn what I need to learn the first time around so I can feel good about spending no more than ten minutes on the phone with a friend discussing terms and exclaiming “I remember such and such.” and providing textbook explanations. I feel that if I don’t know the material, odds are I blew off an assignment and don’t deserve an A anyway.</p>
<p>the day before, even for finals and stuff. self control =/= my forte. this is why i mostly fail at history 
but it works for pretty much everything else.</p>
<p>How I study for exams:
I start well in advance, usually a month in advance. I find out what I have to study, and make a detailed timetable based on how difficult the topic is and how much time i will be able to study on the given day. I then ignore this timetable and avoid studying till a couple of days before the exam :)</p>
