Your studying habits

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>It's a simple question. How do you guys study for tests/SAT I's & II's? What are your studying habits like? </p>

<p>I know for sure my studying habit sucks. I ALWAYS get distracted by Facebook, tumblr, my phone, and other things. It's so hard not too stay away from them!</p>

<p>I'm just curious because as Junior year comes around, I definitely want to know the 'correct' way of studying.</p>

<p>Procrastinate and study like your life depends on it three nights before the test. Works like a charm.</p>

10

<p>I don’t study much. I usually just go over vocab words, read through chapters. Unless it’s language vocab. Maybe flashcards? They take effort though.</p>

11

<p>I go to a crazy SAT prep center.</p>

12

<p>wow so I’m not the only one that procrastinates here… hahah

<p>I am such a procrastinator too but i tend to start my work the night before for hw and three to four days before for projects so i dont totally freak out bout due dates. Plus i set a time everyday for facebook and socializing online so i dont feel totally deprived.</p>

15

<p>What is studying? Just kidding.
But really, I have no study habits. I wish I did though, maybe my grades would be different…</p>

16

<p>I always make these elaborate study plans, like literally write all over calendars and planners, and for some reason never manage to follow through and end up studying the day before. :stuck_out_tongue: I’m very easily distracted as well; during AP exam week though, I gave my facebook stuff to a trustworthy friend, he changed the pass and so I couldn’t get in. It’s SO helpful if you’re addicted to facebook like me. I should probably do this again so I can study for the SAT/SAT IIs in July…</p>

<p>^agreed :slight_smile: haha</p>

18

<p>Practice tests. Imrarely review content.</p>

19

<p>I do my best to block out all distractions (Facebook, music, texting, etc) and just focus on the work at hand (homework, test prep, etc). Then after an hour or two, I usually take a half hour break to watch TV, sleep, text, go on FB, etc. It actually works fairly well.</p>

<p>I generally have a photographic memory which means I rarely, if ever study for any classes. Math and science are the exceptions; because I have a high verbal IQ at the expense of a Math one that tends to affect my GPA, hence the necessary studying.</p>
