Studying over Summer

<p>How bout for Chinese? I was planning to take two languages at school but my course counselor didn't really approve of it. So now I was thinking I could take Latin in school and maybe do a bit of Chinese study out of school.</p>

<p>About 2 hours. I'm lazy. 1 to SAT II Physics, 1 to SAT I random crap I want to work on. </p>

<p>Review books, sometime I google stuff I'm having problems with. I have a reference Halliday textbook for phys.</p>

<p>Don't do it all at once! I get jittery and want to do stuff because sitting for such a long time just sucks. I play tennis, go to the pool, run errands, run/jog, do some yoga (haha shut up it's fun.), hang out with friends, eat out, etc.etc. and just generally study as soon as I wake up and before I go to bed so the rest of my day is free.</p>

<p>tabula no offense thats the wrong approach, heres my approach do your summer work then play video games/eat. then read some books before you go to sleep, like great gatsby, of mice and men, grapes of wrath, odessey, a microbiology text book(its from my cousin who had just graduated from yale university</p>

<p>She also gave me her anatomy and physiology text book</p>

<p>No offense taken, but it's not wrong because it works for me. :)</p>

<p>Note: I'm a rising junior.</p>

<p>-How much time do you dedicate each day to study?
1 1/2 hours of Chemistry, about 2 hours reading my summer reading requirements (The Scarlet Letter and Profiles in Courage), 1 hour of SAT prep, annnd about 1 hour of Algebra II review because I am incredibly bad at math.</p>

<p>-How Do you study, from a textbook? Computer?
Study guides and my old notebooks.</p>

<p>-Any Advice?
DO NOT for the love of God PROCRASTINATE! Get away from the computer, is all. Haha I am such a hypocrite.</p>

<p>I sincerely didnt' know so many ppl studied during summer. I never did, but maybe that's why I graduated 24th in my class when I could have been much higher (well, not doing any hw and skipping class and tests will also do the trick. =P).
I also don't see hwo u can really study for an SAT besides memorizing vocab (which is a pain in the rear, especially when english is not your first language).</p>

<p>^actually theres a lot you can do to study for the SAT...like strategies and stuff ....it helped me a lot...but i guess it depends on the person</p>

<p>EVERYONE notes spiffy stairs is a geek who has no life...</p>

<p>You wait to school starts and then learn....reminder evertone spiffy is a geek</p>

<p>Reminder: sean123 is an incredible tool.</p>

<p>And proud of it, Sean, darling.</p>

<p>I wish I had time to study as much as some of you...menial labor is a sick, sick thing. Once I quit being a theme-park girl (Monday), my schedule is going to consist of calculus, more advanced chemistry (for AP next year), and beginning to self-study for AP physics B, AP psychology, and AP environmental science. I have a text for the calc, prep books for psych and physics, and online notes for the chem.</p>

<p>Advice? Like what you're doing, be interested in the material - both of those are things that you can't force, but it's really the only way I think you'll stick to something and remember it well. Think of the advantages you'll have by either getting ahead or prepping for standardized tests. Stick to a plan; not necessarily a schedule, but set deadlines for having things done.</p>
