So I am trying to find an efficent method how to study since I don't really know how to XD.I'll tell you a couple of experiences I have had in the past,so maybe this thread will not only help me but others.So there was this biology crossword puzzle and what I did is  to write every definition around 10 to 20 times(they were long definitions though)whci was very tiering and I finish really late.So the day of the crossword puzzle  at school. I revise the definitions one last time and then during the crossword puzzle I forgot about 6 words(wtf?) so I struggle to find a way to remenber them at the end I manage to do it by remenbering the first letter of one of the words which I was missing(there were 20 words),and then all the others start coming to my head and one lead to another and I was able to complete it all and score 20/20 :).But alot of other people too so I don't think that crossword puzzle was hard :/ and I think others use other methods that weren't as tiring like for example using cards or others that I don't know about.

Then another experience it had was a biology exam that consisted in two parts(multiple choise and a written part.)so I remenber studing it the day before(really dumb of my part.)but almost re-writting the whole friking text book(I used my crappy method again) and what happens I got a 13 and 14(note all the marks that I mention are over 20 that's the way my school works.)now,I'll explain the reasons why that when wrong.No it wasn't because I revise one day before it was because one the nervous factor,two I was insecure of my answers there were sometimes when everything on the multiple choise was the same letter so I thought that maybe the teacher was trying to trick us so I changed my answers*facepalm*.

The strange thing is that when I read I tend to remenber it.(Now I know what are thinking just read it all and problem solve but then again how the f*** will I memorize every single definition by just reading?I also notice that paying attention in class makes a decisive factor like I pass all of my spanish bimestral exams just by paying attention in class.Also in english in reading comprehesion I get the highest marks and in history too but the only reason for that is because those subjects are interesting will others are just plain boring how can I pay attention to something boring?It is really hard for me to do that.I have also notice that when you are calm and not nervous you can do great things with little knowledge like my greatess achivement was to pass the end of the year physics exam without studing i expect the whole time playing basket with my friends(we even came late to the exam XD.) by the way they fail but I pass :D

So I hope anyone here can help me with some advice since this involves various factors.Now if you are wondering why I made this thread is beacause this week on friday I am having a chemiesty exam and a physics exam.In addition next week I am bimestral exams for maths,spanish,biology and geography.I just want to improve at school I am currently 32 of 76 of the whole form III and it sucks since the first bimesters I wasn't putting any effort or anything I want to be better.So I ask the girl that is the best in all subjects and she told me to do summaries that's what I have just finished doing right now but what should I do with it?Read it?Re-write it? if reading it then how many times?what should I do?I think I should have make this thread on yahoo answers but I lost my password there XD

Thanks in advance

Either everyone is too lazy to read the whole thing or they are still reading it.

La verdad es que no soy el más indicado para aconsejar, dado que, si bien nunca me llevé una materia, casi nunca estudiaba, así que es difícil para mí aconsejar cómo estudiar. Lo primero y casi determinante es prestar atención en la clase, no hay forma fácil de aprobar si no hacés eso. Después otra cosa importante es entrar al examen relajado.. Estudiá todo lo que quieras, pero, por ejemplo, la última hora, desconcentrate, ponete música o algo, sirve para relajarse.
En cuanto a la forma de estudiar, para mí lo mejor, si lo aguantás, es esto
1- Leer el texto entero
2- Releer el texto, subrayando o resaltando lo importante
3- Releer solo lo subrayado.
Creo que es lo que mejor funciona

Hehe, at least ctk knows spanish right? Do you ctk?

That's why I posted in spanish, he would understand it better, and I have to think less when posting

First, sign off VGChartz, then open your books.

I rarely study >_>

usually what I do is just listen to the teacher and that's it and still pass my tests above a 90...

hmmm most the time I just wait to the last min then cram everything that night go to sleep wake up. usually works I remember everything, do pretty well on tests 80+

rewrite the definitions in your own words
for math the better way is just to do as much exercices you can
for physics the most important thing is to know how to put the problem most of the time it will me like F=ma or E=1/2mv^2 + 1/2mgz it's always about equality.
F= force (strength)
m= masse (weight)
v= vitesse (speed)
E = energy
g = gravity (9.81 m/s^2)
z = height

bio do like i did just listen to the teacher
and for the rest the only thing to do is practice practice pratice

yeah that's highschool when you get to university that doesn't work anymore, i learn that the hard way
