I have my Biology Final at 12:30 EST.
Am I going to spend the 20 minutes before I walk upstairs studying? Heck no!
Why? Because I haven't for any other test, and the last one I didn't know even a quarter of the material and I got a 102. lol
How do I do this? It's certainly not by listening in class. I've decided that his tests are just easy to read. When I was younger, I learned how to figure out the wrong answers on tests, rather than studying to know the right ones. I've realized that this is why I do so well, not because I know the material.
Also, I BS well, so I get high grades on short answer questions too. I don't think I'm any smarter than the average person, I just think differently, I think like I was making the test.
Keys (though you may already know them, or they seem obvious) :
-Generally teachers will not make a string of answers the same letter, at least not more than 3, so if you find you have a string of the same ones, check them and reconsider.
-Always read the questions carefully, sometimes there will be an answer to a question within another question. {Sometimes it will be a bunch later, sometimes it will be right after.}
-If you do study, study in order, usually the order of the material will match the order of the test, and keeping this order helps your memory recall the information.
^Those are things they don't normally tell you when you're taking a test course, but I've found them to be true.
I'll think of some others while I'm taking the test, so I'll add to this later.

...?
"Crue": You don't need to quote large posts if they are the first post in a thread, you can post it without and people will still get the message that you are referencing the first post. If you do quote a long post, would you mind just quoting the parts you're talking about? I don't mean to be nitpicky and/or bitchy, and it's not a rule or anything, I'm just making a request of you, which you don't have to comply with.
White text for "Crue" only, please.
