I was doing some last minute cramming for my finals and completely ruined it. I spent at least 4 hours (not an exaggeration) looking at the same exact paper. Whatever happened between those 4 hours, I have no idea? I totally screwed myself over on this one :(

Don't study. It's a waste of time. If you know it, you know it. If you're going to flunk, you're going to flunk.

I've taken up the idea of just not studying. It seems to work well. I have 3.0 GPA for the 3rd 9 weeks. And I'll have something close to that for the 4th. Exams I usually just don't really try on. If the answer comes to me right away, then I get the question right. If I don't know it, I just kind of make up something.

If I actually payed attention in seminar/lecture I could do that. I get bored pretty fast, so I just go off and go through business operations in my head. I always wait until the day before the test to study, It finally caught up to me. I'm never going to do this again (which I probably will because I told myself this last semester).

Oh, are you in college? Anyway, what I usually do is, sleep one day, stay awake the next, sleep the next. Mainly because the teacher usually goes over in a quick review of what we did the previous day, and then we learn the new stuff. It seems to work out well. I also bought an MP3 player that records. So if I tend to dose off, I can just turn that thing on and listen in that night.

I totally agree, studying never helped me. It's either you know it or not. My two cents

My teacher says never study RIGHT before a test. She say's you'll only remember that one page you looked over one second before she put down the paper. I think she just wants us to fail. I did that yesterday and it helped out alot.
