<p>how do you fight procrastination?
what’s your studying style?
what is your philosophy on the most efficient way to study?</p>
<p>Without a doubt, the best way that has worked for me is by studying in chunks of periods with high focus. But I’m having some trouble keeping up my motivation meter.</p>
<p>Study a bit in the mornings, and half of the weekends. Usually I do 1 or 2 hours during the weekdays but not often. It works, just keep your **** together so you don’t procrastinate and then have to cram like a noob.</p>
<p>im an emo studier. <em>i hate my grades & want 2 die</em></p>
<p>Don’t dis cramming. Works like magic for elective fart classes.</p>
<p>To be honest, I cram the night before. I memorize things absurdly quickly however, so it really isn’t necessary for me to study over a longer period.</p>
<p>I study while watching movies</p>

–>oh can someone please tell me how to? </fighting></p>
<p><philosophy?>
for me, cramming works like a charm for humanity courses, but not for science/math courses. i have to repeat solving similar kinds of problems until i fully grasp the theory/formulas etc.
so i guess my philosophy is…
humanity courses–> do bit of reading throughout the semester and take good notes in class (I don’t nececerily review the notes everyday.) then cram before the exam and read everything-notes, summaries, etc. </philosophy?></p>
<p>science/math courses–> take good notes, review them, and understand and what/why you’re studying matarials. then repetitvely solve problems. —>key: do not fall behind! once you fall behind, it’s really difficult to catch up. science courses are really time consuming, because not only you need to read and understand, you need to do problem sets homework, lab, lab report, and study on your own and solve more problems.</p>
<p>I don’t study, except for anatomy&physiology…and I have all As and Bs (except A&P, but that’s a different story).</p>
<p>I usually cram unless its a final. For certain finals in certain subjects I start studying a couple of days before the exam, which I never feel is adequate, and then end up sleeping the day before the final and staying up studying all night. I usually re-read things a lot. Read them, say it in my head, read, say in my head, etc until I have it down. I’ll study a few more things, then start from the beginning.</p>
<p>With some classes I find it most beneficial to re-write the notes, and while I’m re-writing them study each thing I write…</p>
<p>I used to make flash cards in HS I never do now though.</p>
<p>Chemistry - homework is completed every weekend, review everything day before midterms</p>
<p>Philosophy - review day before midterm (readings throughout the class done fairly regularly)</p>
<p>Chinese - Daily study, memorization, speaking practice</p>
<p>I typically cram but I do it very well imo and I put in the time when i have to cram. I mean i can cram like 2-4 hours the night before and 2-3 hours the day of the test so I think putting in a lot of time is best.</p>
<p>For really hard tests that cover a lot of material, I would say study in sections starting like a week before. I might start doing this bc its probably more effective and you can spread time studying each chapter and not just cram like 3-4 chapters into 1-2 days.</p>
<p>I thought that was really sound advice starling. Cramming for science/math courses is horrible. I hate doing it- I feel like you can easily cram for humanities tests.</p>
<p>Math/Physics/Chem - do HW weekly, which consists of lots of problem sets and focuses on learning concepts and applying them. I get a lot of HW in chem/phyics but it works out because I barely have to study before the exams, i’ve been practicing all along</p>
<p>Humanities/liberal arts - many of these are small seminar-type classes focusing on class discussion so I find learning the material is easier because of that. Not focused on problem solving, usually reading, recalling and analyzing info.</p>
<p>Biology - i feel sorry for bio majors, they have more reading than humanities majors and there’s so much more memorization than in chem/physics. I feel like every Bio class i’ve taken has involved a ridiculous amount of reading. But I’ve heard Bio gets easier as you go from freshmen to senior year because it focuses more on concepts in advanced classes, whereas Intro bio involves so much memorization</p>
<p>Oh, and the worst is Biochem =/ i admire anyone who does well in that major</p>
<p>Usually night before.</p>
<p>First thing I do is go through the notes 3 times.
First time I go through as quick as I can and circle anything I don’t understand
Second time I go through a bit more in depth and hilight anything I still don’t understand
Third time I go slow and don’t progress until I understand everything fully.</p>
<p>Then I’ll go through old assignments, labs, practice exams, and parts of the text book.</p>
<p>i like to study at night. Dont usually like to pull off an all nighter but often go very close to it. i spend 20 mins on one topic and then jump on to the next. i know this might sound a bit diorganized but it actually helps me to keep my focus. and if need arises, i can usually cram before the exams in the same way.</p>
<p>I focus a lot better at night, too, but I avoid the night before. If I have homework to do I usually get a fair amount done during the day but REALLY make progress between like 10pm and 3am, then it’s bed time. With ADD one has to take advantage of their ability to focus on the rare occasion they have it. 
And for me, it’s always night time for some obnoxious, stupid reason. I probably have been driving my roommate nuts the past couple weeks.</p>
<p>How do I fight procrastination?</p>
<p>This is a losing fight. I don’t. I embrace it.</p>
<p>What’s my studying style?</p>
<p>Cram, pull all-nighters, ace exam/paper, rinse & repeat.</p>
<p>What’s my idea of the most efficient way to study?</p>
<p>The one that gets me the highest grade. </p>
<p>It’s simple really.</p>
