<p>I'm a Freshman studying for my first World History test this week. On top of this I have Geometry Unit Test at the end of the week. Any Study Tips? How long should I study? Advice Please.</p>
<p>Nobody can tell you how to study. That’s only a question you can answer, because everyone studies differently. For me, I can study an entire history chapter just by re-reading it, and I get an A because my memory is phenomenal. If my sister did that, however, she would fail because her memory isn’t nearly as good. You gotta find your own ways of studying.</p>
<p>^ Agreed. Just don’t cram the night before. Study a little bit every day. It makes it a lot easier.</p>
<p>Cramming really stresses you out 
Since I’m terrible at math, what I would do is start studying for World History a lot and a little bit of Geometry. And then i would keep on increasing my study time for geometry as the week went on.</p>
<p>For history, I always just summarize my notes chronologically. I usually put them online on google docs so my friends can use them, too- trust me, I made a lot of friends last year around exam time.</p>
<p>For math, just work out all the problems you’ve been having difficulties with. You shouldn’t have to spend too much time on geometry if you can understand the subject decently. It’s not very hard.</p>
<p>For history, I always made little songs and dance moves. No lie, I made a 100 on every test by just doing that. But, it doesn’t work for everyone. </p>
<p>For math, I always found practice problems in the textbook and online and I made 90+ on every test since Algebra 1 (I’m in Precalc now and have a high A)</p>
<p>Math- Work every problem you can find, make them up, ask friend to give you random number, ask your teacher for more problems, etc. That’s really the only way. Keep going until you can’t find a single problem you got wrong.</p>
<p>History- So many ways for history. I have an auditory memory, so just hearing the information works for me, so I record myself saying it and listen to it a bunch.</p>
<p>For math, I do a crapload of practice problems. In most maths, all the problems are basically the same… except the numbers change (if that makes any sense).</p>
<p>For history, I just read the textbook and take practice quizzes online. I try not to memorize the small, trivial events and dates. I just study the general aspects and events and how they relate to each other. Then, for the trivial questions on tests and quizzes, I can just deduct the answer through reasoning.</p>
<p>Do what works for you. Some people advise against cramming (as seen in this thread), but it works quite well for me. I can neglect to study for weeks, resorting to feverish reviewing the night before a test. This tactic works especially well for math and English. However, when it comes to content-packed subjects like history and science, I, too, would advise against last-minute cramming (it’s just too much material). Eventually, you’ll figure out the most effective study habit for you.</p>
