3. With these tools, you
might just be able to
rock that test tomorrow.A disclaimer: STUDYING
ONLY THE NIGHT
BEFORE A TEST
REALLY ISN’T A VERY
GOOD IDEA. THESE
TIPS ARE MEANT TO
HELP YOU AT THE
LAST MINUTE, NOT TO
GIVE YOU A REASON
TO NOT STUDY
BEFOREHAND.

5. These presentation aims to help students in
times of rushing work. These aren’t always the
optimal methods to study. These are only a way
to help you out if you’re in total panic mode
over a test you’re not ready for, and don’t have
time to study for properly.
OBJECTIVE:
Ideally, you should be studying all along, eating well,
exercising constantly, and getting lots of sleep. But that’s
not realistic, at least not for me. So, if you’re in crisis mode,
take a deep breath, and good luck!
8. Studying in your dorm, apartment, or
whatever you have can be incredibly
distracting.
Either way, make sure you find somewhere
where you can really set up shop, and not
have to move for a while.
10. Do whatever you need to do to stay alert
and awake; nodding off while reading
isn’t very helpful. Even just eating
something while you study can be really
helpful, as are coffee, soda, and the like.
Make sure you keep plenty around,
though, to stave off the crash.
12. Work- hard- for 50 minutes. No breaks, no
distractions. Anytime you get distracted and stop
working, the 50 minutes starts over. Once you hit
50, take a 10 minute break. Check your email, go to
the bathroom, walk aimlessly around- whatever.
Then, it’s back to work. Training yourself this way
forces you to study hard 80% of the time, instead
of half-studying all the time- it’s much more
effective.
14. This forces you to figure out what’s really
important, and not waste your time reading
through page after page of notes. Plus, you’ll be
amazed at how much you learn simply by writing.
15.
16. Find someone else to panic with, and you’ll be
rewarded in two ways: you’ll realize how much
you already know by asking and answering
questions, and you’ll figure out what you need
to study. Quiz each other, ask questions
about what you don’t understand, and figure
out together what you need to be thinking
about. Two (or twelve) brains are always
better than one, and studying is no exception.
17. WAYS TO CRAM SUCCESSFULLY
6. Figure out the Big Points
Spend your time focusing on
major concepts, the 5-10 things
you’ve talked about the most
and need to know the most
about for the test
Focus on the big stuff first, and
move on only if there’s time.
Night-before cramming requires
playing the odds, and your best
bet is on the big stuff.
19. Try remembering these ten
numbers: 9-1-4-6-5-7-3-2-4-1.
Not so easy? Now try
remembering this phone
number: 914-657-3241. Much
easier, right? That’s a process
known as chunking, which can
help you retain information at a
much higher rate.
To study with this method,
follow a simple process: Come
up with important terms you
need to know for the test, and
define them. Come up with a
few major concepts from the
course material, and explain
them each in a paragraph.
22. Read your notes out loud. Whisper, yell, sing, rap,
whatever- say your notes out loud.
By speaking out loud, you give your brain three
stimuli to remember the material instead of just
one. Your retention skyrockets as you talk,
because you’re forced to concentrate on the
material. Don’t study in your head- study aloud!
23. WAYS TO CRAM SUCCESSFULLY
10. Sleep!
This is literally the
single most important
thing you can do the
night before a test.
Studies have shown that
you both remember
incredibly more after 6
hours of sleep, and you
perform terribly in
pressurized situations
without much sleep.
24. Once you get in bed, forget
about the test. Think actively
about something peaceful, so
nothing else enters your mind,
and you’ll nod right off.
25. These aren’t always the optimal
methods to study. They’re 0nly a
way to help you out if you’re in
total panic mode over a test you’re
not ready for, and don’t have time
to study for properly.
