My strategies for passing exams.
I have more than one strategy for passing an exam. It really depends on the class it is and if the teacher gives us a study guide or not. Last year, I started studying for the exams in Winter break. If I have a study guide then I make sure I understand everything on there. I study a little bit at a time so that I don't cram too much information at once. If I don't have a study guide, then I study everything in my notes for that class and work on my weak points so that it improves. On the day before the exam, I go over everything as a review so that it stays fresh in my mind. Sometimes I get really OCD about my study methods and so I start making note cards and I have a certain system for studying. I get really fustrated if it isn't perfect but that is only sometimes. Usually, I just study what I need to because my teachers always tell us what is going to be on the exam. I never cram the night before so that's my method of passing the exams.
