Studying

[Schmung]

Undersating, for me at least, was always way easier than learning things. Did a lot better in all the exams that relied on understanding rather than retaining facts and stats. Back in the days of my a-levels my grades varied wildly between as and es depending on how the exams were structured. Uni was a good deal easier in that respect and you can get away with blagging things a bit more and with comp sci it's a lot more based on practical work. Turning up blind drunk to some exams was probably not a good strategy though.

As far as information retention goes, I suck. But I am rather good at deduction/understanding. I do most of my studying in the minutes before the exam, the rest I figure out during the exam itself.

Although I still have fond memories of the exam where I had the Mario theme stuck in my head.

Usually when I was studying for exams I'd just turn off the computer completely, take out the power plug and put it away somewhere thats really difficult to get to.

And I bet you cried like a baby after realizing that you threw your powercord on the roof of your house.

dont you be rollin your eyes at my test finn boy

(and yes pre-calc is a joke of a class, our teacher taught us how to put notes and stuff into the calculator, only gives us odd questions in the text book, if we get any, the odd answers are in the back, and its pretty slow. i had no idea what was going on but i aced it any who)

Mind maps, structural models, summaries, repetition X 100...

Mind maps are fantastic if you need to remember 30+ things at the same time and how the stuff is connected. The downside is that they require a lot of time to create.
