How the hell do you speed study?
    #19294337 - 12/18/13 05:35 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

So I took this online class over the winter break just so I could get a little bit closer to graduation.

The class is about 4 weeks and they have you reading 6 chapters per 4 quizzes.

Sweet damn...

I am pretty good at staying on my shit, but this is not even realistic. There must be some other logic to passing the course. After all it is a winter break 122 level course.

What do you think? :jah:

Its a 4 week class which is suppose to be a 12 to 16 week class. I'm not surprised at all by that workload. I'd never do a 4 week, its too much. I've done a lot of 6's though and its doable, just very fast paced.

4 though?

Speed studying is easy.

You fast read all your notes, fast read all the chapters then you go and fail the exam. Easy as pie.


Studying takes time. You get better at it with practice.

The answer lies within the question.

Speed.

I once read the Bible while taking a shit on amphetamines if that gives you any idea of what they can do for you.

I would always procrastinate the fuck out of big tests and then for 3 days before the test I'd take amps and study my ass off. always managed to get a good grade.

Such a horrible habit though :lol:

I think any amphetamine user has been there before. I've had weirder situations arise from the use of meth before.

You need to learn to prioritize material so you spend time with and soak in the shit that you think will be on the test and very briefly skim over everything else. In my experience, usually around 80% of the material can be skimmed over.

If you need to get things done fast, you need to sit in an area where you are away from distractions.

I can't study at home, so I go to the library and find a desk with a light that's soft for reading. You must decide to dedicate x amount of hours each day for you to pass the next test.

For me, the hardest part of binge studying is that it is usually due to procrastination. So think ahead and treat your study time with responsibility.

Easiest method for me is to skip to the summary at the end of each chapter. Go over all the highlights. Usually there will be review questions. Cover a few of those and read into the material a bit more if necessary.

You could easily distill an entire chapter down to a few paragraphs. Most of it is just filler.

Solutions (mix & match):
- Adderall without internet/Facebook (or just good self-discipline)
- As mentioned, summaries
- Library area with other people studying hard (adds to urgency)
- Snacks
- Lots of water
- Caffeine
- 10 minute meditation
- Masterbate when tense

It REALLY depends on the class.  You have to know the professor - access to past years exams is very helpful.  Profs often recycle exam questions or at least ask the same spread of questions.

I only really took engineering classes so if this is an arts class my method probably isn't relevant.  It basically went like this:

1. Go to electrical eng computer lab with a bunch of other people cramming.
2. Start going through problem sets one by one, solving all the problems and helping each other out.  If you get stuck look at the solution and try to recognize the patterns.
3. Once you complete all the problem sets try 1-2 past exams.  These never have solutions but if you work with 2-3 other people you can usually piece them together.
4. Rock the exam.

With this method I can learn an entire course in 1-2 days (having never gone to class) as long as it's not a really hard 400 level course.
