For those crammers, you may want to put out extra effort in the last 2-3 days prior to the exam, but avoid at all cost cramming the final night. All your efforts may be wasted if you feel tired or mentally exhausted during the exam, which will block off your knowledge retrieval process. This is particularly true for crammers since cramming only puts information into your short-term memory.
Here are the steps:
Step 1: Get the Lecture Notes: If you have not attended all the lectures, get a decent set of lecture notes from your pal, or buy them from the note-taker if you have to.
Step 2: Rewrite the Lecture Notes: If you still have time, rewrite the notes into yours using the ChemMastery Lecture Notes. If you are cramming for the midterms or finals and running out of time, skip this step.
Step 3: Create the Cheat Sheets: Print a few blank copies of the ChemMastery Cheat Sheets (one copy per chapter). Go to your study zone and lay out the notes and the text side-by-side. One chapter at a time, write down all the key concepts, facts, formulas and equations onto a single cheat sheet. Be selective in what you record and limit your coverage. As needed, use your text to further your understanding by quickly reading the explanation and walking through the examples.
Step 4: Over Study the Cheat Sheets: After going through all the testing chapters, you should have a set of cheat sheets created from step 3. Study-study-study these cheat sheets. Say them out loud if you have to. Carry them with you so you can make the most of every spare minute you have.
If you have completed these four steps in the limited time you have, you should still be able to walk in and take the exam with confidence.
Until next time, student, keep it up!
