What to do when you have a big test that covers LOTS of things:

So many classes I have taken just have a midterm and then a cumulative final. And these seem so daunting and scary because it can literally make you fail the class if you do bad on one. Studying for these major exams is so stressful too. You have months of material to sift through.

It's not hopeless and you don't need to stress so much! I have some tips to help after years of stress and tears.

If your teacher relies heavily on the textbook, find the chapter summaries and use those as a guide. Those will highlight the main topics in the chapter. It will help you identify what you know well and what you need to study.

If you have quizzes in the class, study the quiz questions. Chances are the test will have some of the same or very similar questions. Teachers love to recycle.

Get a separate sheet of paper. Go through your notes and write down important dates/time frames. Make a new section. Write down important people or species. New section. Major events/key words. New section. Numbers/equations/formulas. New section. Subjects and topics covered. New section. Other important things like experiments or super important things. Congrats! You now have a set of skeleton notes with the bare bones. This is going to be your holy grail. It has all the big important information without the messy, niche details. Don't write the meanings of any of these things. Just write them in a list. Below is an example of my last start to one of these.

Review any homework assignments

Look at vocab. If you understand the vocab and when to use the words, you're in a really good spot.

Have a good understanding of all the major subjects and a really good understanding of a few main niche things from each subject.

You won't know everything and that's ok. Don't try to know everything.

If you have other pieces of advice, please add on!

memorization tips ;)

☆ requested by @romantic-elegies

hey friends <3 here are some of my best memorization tips (feel free to add your own tips in the notes and I'll reblog)

study early in the morning. research has shown that studying early (6-10 am) helps you retain more information

draw a thought map. sometimes they're called spider webs, or brain dumps, or something similar. it's just an organized place to put everything that you plan on memorizing

assign meaningfullnesss to things. there has been a ton of research on this and it's a very effective way of memorizing; but sometimes it can be hard to harness. the way I recommend doing it is to assign it something you already know that you have emotional ties to (characters from your favorite show, titles of your favorite book series, food names, etc.) something that you know well enough and that will be easy/convenient to remember

use mnemonics. mnemonics are sounds/phrases that help you things. for example: ROY G BIV are the colors of the rainbow and it sounds like a name. you use the first letter of the word and come up with a different word for it or put it into a phrase.

write in blue pen. i know this tip sounds suspicious (and vaguely fake) but I've used it a million times and it works so well! plus blue is very aesthetic for your studyblr posts ;)

sleep on it. taking a short nap after studying can help you retain your information better and not stress out about it. sleep for about 15-20 minutes and you'll wake up feeling more refreshed and have an easier time remembering.

~MY BEST TIP~

pretend you're teaching the subject to someone else. use any techniques thay your teachers/professors have used she teaching you. make presentations, orally explain it (perhaps to your pet or stuffed animals), make study games. this is SO helpful and I cannot recommend it enough :)

Language Learning Tip #5: When doing an English proficiency test (e.g. TOEFL, IELTS, PTE, etc), make sure to be on the lookout for synonym's and paraphrasing in the Reading section. Your not Adele, so you don't need to be rolling in the deep to get the answers! (Yes even for the inference questions.)

are you disabled or suffer from other chronic conditions that often leave you bed bound? do you often feel like you’re in the “damn bitch you live like this?” meme because cleaning is too exhausting?

my protip is get yourself one of THESE bad boys and hang it by your bed

it’s an over the door shoe rack and the pockets are perfect for holding a lot of household objects.

you can use the pockets to store trash, snacks, meds, and water bottles. if you worry about hygiene, you can also keep some for dry shampoo, deodorant, body wipes, clean undergarments, or toothbrush materials. on good days, you can clean it out and restock it, or have someone else help you. on bad days, you won’t have to worry about getting food and you’ll be able to feel a little better about hygiene.

it’s also really great if you want to keep your hobbies close by!! i can often only work on my bed, and then i have to worry about putting everything away if i have to lay down. if it’s a hobby that has materials that can be stored in the pockets, it can feel more accessible to jump in and out of and take less spoons to set/clean up.

#spoonie #chronic illness #chronic pain #chronic fatigue #disability #tagging for exposure bc i want this tip to get out it helped me a lot #feel like shit today might as well share this tip so i feel sort of productive #worth mentioning i suffer from chronic illness and fatigue that they’re still testing (altho medicating under the assumption of narcolepsy)#but i have trouble sitting and standing for long periods so i spend a lot of time in bed and so whenever my bed gets gross i feel gross #so this is based on chronic fatigue mostly

so. i made a gnome generator

thank you to everyone who supplied me with gnome names (i am still accepting more in my ask box if you have one you'd like to share with the class)! i have been learning basic html stuff and have used my meager knowledge to create a clunky, yet functional, gnome generator. the gnome and their stats will change upon refreshing the page, but you can click the gnome gname button as many times as you like.

MAKE UR GNOME TODAY!

#i am an absolute noob in coding still so pwease don't tease the clunky nature of my code #neocities #gnomeposting #gnomecore #gnomes #old web #also if u have any coding tips or recommendations i'd love to hear em!#this was a super fun way to test my skills and i learned a lot doing it #html has been so much more fun than i thought it was gonna be #like. i put a nonsensical string of letters and symbols together. and ur tellin me. they're a webpage now?? wild

The Dutch test surpasses blood tests in assessing hormone levels due to its comprehensive approach, which tracks hormone fluctuations throughout the day via urine and saliva samples.

This method offers greater precision, accurately representing hormonal patterns over time, and is more convenient for women

10 steps to revise for an exam (and my recommended timeline)

Quickly go over the material that will be covered on the exam. Put each topic into a category of "Good" "Okay" and "Bad" based on your understanding of that topic. (Day 0 - Before revising)

Look at steps 3-10 and put them into a study plan that you can follow. This will keep you on track and ensure you cover everything. (Day 0 - Before revising)

First, start with your "Okay" list. Briefly revise each topic, focusing on definitions, formulas, and general concepts. At this point, you should be ensuring that you know the information, not focusing on exam practice. I like using flashcards for this step to ensure I actually know the information (Day 1)

Now, do the same for your "Good" list. (Day 1 or 2)

Once you've done steps 2 and 3, you're ready to practice! If your professor has given you practice/review questions, use those. You can also find great questions in your textbook or from past assignments. (Day 2)

Now, focus on your "Bad" category. Do a much more thorough review of the information in this category, almost as if you're learning it for the first time. This is a step where flashcards may be super helpful, especially if you need to power through a lot of memorization work (Day 3).

This is where you practice your "Bad" category. Make sure to do multiple questions for each topic to ensure that you're prepared for anything that comes your way (Day 4).

Revisit all the information you've studied over this process, and do more practice problems on the topics you're struggling with the most. (Day 5)

Take a deep breath, get some sleep, and eat a good meal! (Exam day!)

Take your exam!

Testing tips: minutes before the test

There are tons of posts and advice about how to study for and prep for tests, but one thing I see never discussed is what to do right before a test. Like sitting in the classroom half an hour prior. (Sorry this sounds like the niche identification of a scientific paper I'm so sorry I've been writing too many research papers please forgive me) This time is very important and what you do with it can really impact how well you do. This isn't a one size fits all thing either. So I'm going to give a few suggestions on what to do in the minutes prior to your test to help you do better and when you should maybe try the thing!

1) Review

I preach about the wonders of summary sheets constantly. MAKE THEM PLEASE. They are so amazing if you have a concept heavy test. You get a brief overview of everything that could be talked about and helps jog your memory. This is much easier than flipping through notes and slideshows and can help you identify anything you need to look over quick.

Now a review is different than cramming. For reviewing, you want to just go over the topics and identify anything you don't have a brief understanding of. Could you give an elevator pitch on the topic? Good move on. If not, look at key words or concepts for the topic since a lot of tests cover those things. I'll make a post about making good summary sheets later.

When should you do this? If you have a concept heavy test, you need a quick reminder, you have extra time, and/or you haven't been able to study for a bit.

2) Relax

Don't study. Don't review. Don't talk about the material. Just do something distracting until you get the test. Read, doodle, listen to music, whatever you enjoy. Just relax.

This sounds like weird and terrible advice, but it's actually really important. Especially if it's a test you're super stressed about or a test that scares you. If you relax and calm your mind, you'll be able to think better and clearer for the test.

3) Have a mini study group session

This is amazing if you have questions about some things. Ask the people you sit around and they will probably be thankful of you refreshing their memory about something as well. And it will usually cause discussion about other topics as well.

4) Rewrite notes

Basically write key terms and definitions, species names, etc. Things that you know you need memorized. By rewriting them, it will force them to be more fresh in your mind and gives you another layer of studying in a sense. The more times you're exposed to material, the better you remember it. So by rewriting the main things, you're giving yourself another layer of exposure.

This is especially useful for foreign languages, species identification tests, and vocabulary heavy tests.

5) Quiz yourself

Go through the topics and try to explain them as best as possible. Try to define key terms. Basically just give yourself a quiz on anything and everything. See how much you can do.

This helps you figure out what areas you should focus on for a quick review and maybe get a few questions going to ask others.

Overall, focus on breathing. You got this! You KNOW you got this. You're better than you think you are. And it's just one test. You won't fail even if you fail this test I promise.

how I shade :] I find it easier to draw where the light is coming from rather than drawing the shadows !

the last 2 "now have fun" images are what I typically will do after I've done the basic shading, which is outlining it in a slightly lighter shade of the flat color used for the shading, and sometimes some blurring, if you want a softer look :D

What if instead of banning guns, we much a Federal Gun Owner Requirements (FGOR). An example of how such a system would work

All firearms require registration. All owners of all types of fire arms must have (insert sets of requirements) gun safe, in which all firearms must be stored at all times. Children found to have a firearm in their possession currently or previously will result in said firearms registered owner to lose the ability to own firearms for (insert based on severity of event) years and take on the child’s criminal charges, if any are present.

Firearm incapable of human casualty - must be 18+

Firearms capable of human casualty - 21+ and background check

Firearms capable of multiple human casualties in quick succession, being more than 3 in under 60 seconds - 21+, background check, gun safety course

Firearms with *high capacity *expanded upon with a specific threshold capacity based on weapon type in separate list - 21+, background check, gun safety course, gun competency course, psychological evaluation

Firearms with *extreme high capacity/accuracy enhances, *as defined in a separate list with a specific threshold capacity based on weapon type - 21+, background check, gun safety course, gun competency course, psychological evaluation, use of weaponry/ammo evaluation.

And so on.

#gun control #reasonable gun control #common sense gun control #collect new gun types as you gain levels #upgrade your weapons will skill tests #prove your might with proof of activity and upgrade to more advanced items #join a weapons/hunting sport and gain access to unique weaponry #tip: cheese wheels can be eaten to regain health

CREATING + USING FLASHCARDS

CREATING

You can either use index cards, online cards or cut out paper, whatever is more convenient.

Organise resources and notes before beginning to write anything on your flash cards. Only use key concise information.

Keep the content on your flash cards short. Don’t use flash cards for more detailed information. You want to make sure it is easily memorable.

When writing your flash cards, use different coloured pencils to write or highlight some words to make it more memorable.

Put one term/question on each card to better retain more information.

Add pictures/diagrams. I know not all of us are artists, but they are quite useful to memorise the information, as our brains associate visuals with information.

Keep your flash cards limited. If need be, you can create two sets of decks to use in different periods, but try keeping one deck under 20-25 cards.

USING

Repetition is important when using flash cards. Try to find little intervals in your day to use them. Early morning or just before you go to bed are some of the best times to revise them!

Recite your flashcards out loud instead of in your head, you process the information with more clarity.

Keep distractions minimally. You don’t need to have complete silence, but avoid music, doing it in your bed or eating while revising.

Engage yourself with the flashcards, you can reward yourself after getting a short chunk memorised, or walk around while using them.
