My overall study
method: I break up studying over several days and over the course of the course
of the evening and day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it. I will
have longer sessions on nights before big tests, but I never stay up much later
than normal before tests. I know that if I take the test tired the next day I will
not do as well as if I was rested.
How I've overcome an
initial bad grade: I usually look over the test or paper to see what I did that
the teacher did not. Basically, i do not stress out about grades that much
because for me they are not worth getting really upset about. I do well because
I know that I know the material. However, if I do get a bad grade, or one lower
than I expected, I make sure that the next time a test is coming I study even
more so that I won’t be surprised by the questions.
