What Are Your Studying Habits? And How Do You Stay Organized?

<p>I usually study for 20 minutes, then break for 5.
I use a lot of flashcards... and repeat things and make them into songs a lot.</p>

<p>What about you?</p>

<p>I read quietly and thankfully most of the stuff sticks. I also have to do practice problems for any class that requires math. Repeating things helps too, but for me, flashcards are only helpful when trying to learn vocab.</p>

<p>i cram all on the day before a test, i use flashcards. it always work for me, i cant study days before a test.</p>

<p>Being organized is part of who I am.</p>

<p>Studying I don't do much of.</p>

<p>I make flashcards for tests and recopy/rehighlight my notes.</p>

<p>i have no clue... i sleep during class, dont pay attention. dont study. and do a breif review over someone else's notes 5 mins before the test. somehow thru all of this i manage a 4.0</p>

<p>I have terrible study habits. I honestly try to study but fail miserably every time. I've unfortunately learned that I can get A's without studying so I never do it and will get killed when I get to a class with enough material that I can't absorb it the first time.</p>

<p>I take a textbook and read the material that will be on the test really slowlywhile laying on my bed.
Oh and I don't stay organized :)</p>

<p>As far as studying for tests, those habits are basically non-existent for me.</p>

<p>With homework, I usually just rush through it to get it done as quickly as possible, since it's usually pointless anyway.</p>

<p>I stay organized by keeping my papers in an expandable folder/docket/whatever you call it. I throw old papers away promptly.</p>

<p>I have horrible studying habits: I cram for almost all my tests the night before (including AP tests). Start to do the homework assigned a week ago for that test and read the chapters and whatnot...</p>

<p>I am a horrible procrastinator and the most disorganized mess you will ever meet (my backpack looks like something exploded in there and more often than not, drinks and pens will explode in there, also papers go in, and come out a crumbled mess, if they even come out). Last year for my birthday I bought myself some things like a planner and homework notebook which got me semi-organized. Now at least I am used to using the planner for major assignments due later on and I use it to try and prevent procrastination (usually not successfully). This year, I am determined to stay organized, taking the time to empty out my backpack each week and keep papers in the proper folders. It kind of needs to work with how rigorous a schedule I have this year.</p>

<p>About studying, this year, I'm going to try to spend a night or two each week reviewing everything that was covered, and then a night or a few before a major test, review all of your notes and everything. Also keep up on your homework, or else it kind of has a snowball effect. (This is all essentially the opposite of what I did last year. Last year I would barely due any of my homework, except for occassionally in my AP World class and Algebra 2 Hon class, and then I would study non-stop for the period before the class with the test. I almost always got good grades regardless though).</p>

<p>My study habits include studying the day before the test. It depends on the class, to be honest. I studied for a week for my chem exam, but studied the night before bio and I did better on bio. Blahh. As for staying organized, I just plunk everything onto my desk and leave it there until I'm sick of it, at which point I'll clean up.</p>

<p>I read the material the night before class, take notes, take additional class notes, review here and then when test time comes I usually only have to review once or twice. Someone once told me that the best way to spend the day before a test is to relax most of the day and study a little bit. If you know the material repeating it only makes it either boring or confusing. I guess the trick here is to actually know the material though... :)</p>

<p>I lock myself in my room....</p>
