Studying for Exams

Hey, I'm getting organized for exams (which are coming up in about a month.) Do you have any tricks or tips on how to organize to keep all of my stuff together for easy studying? Thanks.

You should organize your notes and papers almost everyday after you finish your homework. Look at my binder, tests, problems, homework, notes are all in different section neatly.

Yes, and when studying you should also avoid CC.

I keep all my papers and separate them into piles by class. For history, I am extracting all my important readings and putting them in a separate pile to study later. I then put all the papers I do not need (such as random work sheets or what not) in a storage cabinet. I use composition notebooks, one for each class, to take notes. I number the pages and put titles on the top. Then I make a table of contents. Maybe you want to go back and paste in any important sheets and copy down notes so you have them all in one book. That would also help with studying, too.

I guess I am slightly OCD about my composition notebooks. I refuse to have any pencil in them because pencil smudges, and I cannot stand plastic binders because pages can easily fall out or get crumpled easily in them.

So do you cross mistakes out when you use a pen, or do you use white-out?
