You decided to take an elective this semester in a program you thought you would enjoy. Turns out, it wasn’t what you thought and don’t like it as much as you expected. You have another elective next semester in the same program and know that you can’t go through this subject again. What do you do?
Head over to Academic Advising. You can either book an appointment or get in during their Wednesday drop-in hours (but get there early because spots will fill up quickly)
True or False: If you want to do good on a test, you should study the night before and the morning of so that the information is freshly in your brain.
False. You should constantly be reviewing and going over your notes. For direct studying, give yourself at least a few days before the exam and do not cram it the night before. Before an exam, make sure you get enough sleep at least 2 nights prior to it. You should not be reviewing notes within an hour before the class, because at that point it makes no difference and you are wasting your time. instead, focus on your breathing and trying to relax yourself so you aren’t overwhelmed and stressed.

True or False: The best way to retain information is to read it over until it sticks in your head.
False. If you want to retain information, try writing it out again (by hand works best). You should be able to teach the concept to another person and have them understand it. If you cannot do this, then you should go back and review it until you can. It is one thing to hear something and understand it then to be able to explain it in your own words to someone else. Often times flash cards can help for remembering and understanding terminology (Quizlet or Cue-Cards). Just reading over your notes will not help you retain anything.
