Right now we all find ourselves amidst studying for finals. While I'm sitting here typing this, I find myself surrounded by a 4 month supply of math note sheets, homework, and tests spread all over my dining room table. Over the years many teachers have informed us about the most important study skills: prioritizing, time management, concentrations. And they also informed us of ones to avoid: cramming, and procrastinating. I have my ways in which I like to study, but I don't know if they are the most effective. I always ask myself after finals, did I study right? But is there a right way to study? I guess studying is different for each person because everyone knows what works for them. For example, I really find it helpful to do a LOT of review problems, going over old tests, and looking back on notesheets. This only helps me for math and science, but for english and history I usually review everything we've done in class. For this specific class, I liked how we were given the prompt so we could write down our ideas before the final, so we are not at a loss of words during the actual exam. What are your favorite ways to study?
