How's your life in colleges?

<p>I know that it is really different from high school.</p>

<p>Do you guys study everyday?
How often the professors give you exams?
How do you maintain the high grade?
When do I begin to prepare for the GRE?</p>

<p>I just read a lot, I guess that counts as studying too though. In two of my classes we have a quiz 3 times a week and homework everynight. Its not really that hard if you just discipline yourself to get through it. Definitely more work than high school though. It wasn't a huge change for me, freshman year was really easy, kinda semed like high school but this year is different. You get used to the work load and really it won't seem to bad.</p>

because roommates suck</p>

<p>1) Depends on the major. For mine, I barely lift a finger most of the time. The week before exams is hell though. (Of course, I could do a little bit of studying every day and save myself the pain but that's not my style :-)
2) 2-3 a semester. So for instance in the fall semester, one after a month of class, one right before Thanksgiving, and one right before Xmas break.
3) Study study study study study! No secret about it! It's the same as in high school: show up to class, ask the teacher if you need help, do the required work, study, and then study again
4) This is probably a question best answered by your advisor or counselor at school. There are probably some programs offered on campus or you can always go to a private company e.g. Princeton review, Kaplan</p>

<p>Do you guys study everyday? Yes...definitely.</p>

<p>How often the professors give you exams? Some courses have only papers or projects....some courses are exams and projects some courses are only projects. Some courses are 3 exams + projects but it varies.</p>

<p>How do you maintain the high grade? Work, anticipate what is needed. Learn from past history.....first paper to last paper. Ask around, be prepared.</p>

<p>When do I begin to prepare for the GRE? I have no idea because I will take the LSAT and am preparing right now.</p>

<p>I do more problem sets than actual studying or reading. Everyday, I'll do a few hours of work outside of class to split it up. I have exams, usually a couple each class each semester. My grades have dropped from high school with even more effort. If you were topof your class in high school, you might be middle of the pack at some colleges.</p>

<p>You do not need to start prepping for the GRE until possibly a month before you take it. It is not that hard.</p>

<p>More to the point, it's often used as a cutoff rather than for its "value" -- that is, a score of 1450 won't really be any or much worse than a score of 1540, so long as both scores are over the department's cutoffs.</p>

<p>The GRE is emphatically not as important for graduate school admissions as the SAT is for undergrad.</p>

<p>Do you guys study everyday?
No... but I should.</p>

<p>How often the professors give you exams?
Depends... my Government class has a midterm and final. My Econ class has 2 midterms and a final. My Music Theory class has a final, and a few quizzes.</p>

<p>How do you maintain the high grade?
study. Work ridiculously hard. Will obviously vary from school to school.</p>

<p>When do I begin to prepare for the GRE?
whenever you want.</p>

<p>Do you guys study everyday?
Any day except Friday.</p>

<p>How often the professors give you exams?
On average, three or four times a semester.</p>

<p>How do you maintain the high grade?
Discipline.</p>

<p>When do I begin to prepare for the GRE?
Whenever.</p>
