What are yours?

I've got a huge test on Monday that is in a class with no textbook only power points and science literature for reference (~50 peer reviewed articles; one is 70 pages long ). Questions will vary from any of the methods employed to general theory. I'm preparing by:

1. Reading the PP's
2. Looking up any referenced figures and reading the captions as well as surrounding information.
3. Writing questions about each slide so that I can memorize a lot of these answers later. (The only way you wouldn't have to memorize is if you had long term field experience)
4. Writing answers in a separate file.
5. Do two lectures at a time ~ 4 hours
6. Whore HAN - take a study break - ~1 hour
7. Repeat.

How many of you just read textbooks? Do example problems? Wing it?

 

Most of my exams were based on lecture which also loosely tied to the textbook...so i just took the exam and did good.

 

So.. you attended lecture and didn't study? Or did I mis-read.

 

Pretty much. I remember what I hear, not so much what I read.

 

Yeah, for some classes that's most definitely applicable. Unfortunately, this one is mostly bulleted lists with the expectation you will know each bullet in detail .

1 hour lectures = 2 hours study time ftl.

 

Crystal Meth

 

No joke I have a pack of that sitting in front of me right now h: They sell them 3 for $1 at the local Dollar Tree.

You can tell they do a little something for you, similar to an energy drink. They actually taste pretty good... for about a minute and a half, and then the flavor goes away and it's like you've got garbage in yer mouth.

The green ones (only have yellow and green locally) are called Spiked Spearmint, so I don't know if they have a lil' date-rape-drug mixed in or what, but I tend to stick with the Slammin' Citrus. It's fuckin' radical dude!

:ugh:

 

My Poison:

 

i have a habit of not studying.

 

^Same here time traveler.

I've had Redbull and it's alright, but way too expensive in my opinion.

I've never even tried BAWLS, but I sometimes have those cappuccino drink mix things (add boiling water), but it's mainly b/c I like the flavor.
