My test study method: I have different strategies for different types of tests or subjects. For me, any type of math is exceptionally difficult so I had to spend extra time on that. I would go back through the homework problems focusing on the problems that I had extra difficulty on. Many times I would ask the teacher for any additional study materials they could provide. If it was a class that required memorization or applying concepts I would create a sort of study guide for myself many times focusing on what were key focal points in the class. If I knew there were going to be essays I would try to take the terms and apply them to an example of create different questions on the concepts focused on throughout the semester.

My time management secret: I always always always carry a planner with me. I even use different color highlighters to show what each event on my caldera is for. For example, pink is personal, yellow is school, orange is work, blue is for appointments and green is for my sorority. Although I use white-out frequently, I cans see in bright yellow that if I have that project for finance due on Tuesday, I need to start working on it on [the previous] Wednesday so I can just get it done. My friends have always been amazed at how early I get things accomplished but that is really all I do

Time management because a key factor in my study skills for college. In high school, there were times I was able to study for an hour or two the nights before a test and get away with it. This was not the case in college. I may have done this in high school, but in college I started typing up the notes after class. This helped me remember what I just did in class so that a week later when we had a test I was more likely to remember then as well.

My overall study method: Structured. One thing I learned was that I had to adapt or change my study method according to the class. I couldn’t study for a Religion class the same way I study for a Finance class. But making sure I study for each class was a big part- even if it meant carrying around a planner with me at all times was a big part of my success.
