How to Best Study for an Exam


There are a few steps I go through to study for an exam, and to basically mentally prepare myself!!

Firstly, I obviously write down when all of my exams are for certain classes- this helps me to prioritise my time. I also like to start studying about 2-3 weeks out from the exam, as any sooner I would forget stuff and I’m usually busy completing assignments anyway!

I have compiled my study process into 7 easy steps for you all to follow!

Step 1: Hand write a glossary for all terms

Step 2: Include any examples if needed

Step 3: Hand write all/any flow charts (e.g. structures, order of things for example a business buying process)

Step 4: Highlight all key words

Step 5: Transfer my glossary onto an app called StudyBlue, a free app for iOS and Android systems that helps you test yourself

Step 6: Read over handwritten notes a lot and get tested on those by a friend

Step 7: Then test myself on StudyBlue twice daily up until the exam

If you follow these steps I can almost guarantee you will be ready for exams in no time!
