When I study for exams I type all my notes up (and take notes on handouts/printouts) so everything is in one Word document. Then I print it out and study it whenever I can. Then I keep deleting stuff until the last day and then I fit everything on one page (typically size 8/Arial Narrow/two columns/.2" margins/double sided) and there's my last minute cheat sheet.

Wow, I never thought of doing this! It seems like an great idea, I'll try it out when it comes down to finals! Do you only type notes when it's like the week or two before finals? Or do you start prepping all semester and then JUST condense them during finals? Aren't you worried you are accidentally leaving important information out though, and when you go check your cheat sheet right before the exam, it won't be there?
I love making HUGE study guides, but somehow I don't find much use in them because they are so massive and looking at them makes me tired =.=
The Dokuwiki concept is interesting, but I'm not all too familiar with PHP. I do know HTML/Dreamweaver pretty well, is there a way to manage a wiki with that?
I will look into dry-erase markers for my mirror. This sounds good as I am constantly in front of my mirror and one of the first places I look in the morning, lol. And I bought binders for all my courses w/ folders AS WELL as notebooks this semester. I'll try just using the notebook to bring to my courses (as well as using color coordinated pens for my actual notes... maybe o_o) and dump the notes in my binders when I get to my room... hopefully I can keep track of all of this... thanks!
