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 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:

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.

Quit smoking pot.

Relax; stress hurts memory.

Start studying now.

Don't stop until the class ends.

Don't be one of those students that stresses out, reads every word of every everything 6x and then gets a C and wonders why.  Get tips from your professor / TA early, pair up with someone smarter than you in the class, and study exactly what you need to and nothing more.

Use amphetamines in moderation if you really must.  They'll help you concentrate for long periods of time, but will also stress you out.  High doses are not helpful.  Low doses can be very helpful.

If you can study hard, study smart, and study often without stressing out too much you'll be fine.

Whats the class? I mean not to sound like an ass but any 100 level class is pretty much common knowledge by the time you graduate. If it's hard already and you can't figure out what to do then you're kinda fucked.

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:



This is just what studying law is like. They set a ridiculous amount of reading, to the point that its almost impossible to get it all done.

You need to be able to assess what is crucial and what is not. Skip all the fluff, 'scan read' until you hit pay dirt, and soak up the pay dirt. If they say read pages 1-50, you don't read every page, just the important stuff. Be sure to
Actively read' the important stuff. Highlight what's important and take notes on it to revise later. You can then condense down the essential points of a chapter into a few pages. It takes time to be able to assess what is crucial and what isn't, but as time goes on you get better at it.

Be sure to make use of summary guides or 'primer texts'. Instead of reading the 700 page text, you can start with the 50 page primer text to get an overlay of the important issues and orient yourself, then when going through the text, once you hit the key issues, you focus. And you skip all the fluff.

But it's tough man. You really have to work on your concentration and train your mind to focus over long periods of time. The brain is a muscle just like any other, and it improves when tou train it. repetition. Again, with practice you get better at it and more adjusted to it. But yeah, initially you just have to push through the wall. Study an hour, the. Get a coffee or have some food. Go outside for 15 mins and get some fresh air, listen to music, rest your mind a bit. Have a ciggie if that's your thing.

The most important thing is to not fall behind on your weekly studies. At the start you'll think ' oh I can do this another time I can't be bothered..... I've still got 12 weeks before my exam '. Don't sink into that trap, because you do that four weeks in a row, and then it's suddenly week 5 and you have a 20 hour catchup, and you drown in the amount of work you have to do. The best thing to do is start like a bull out of the gates from the start, work more in the beginning do you finish comfortably.

And don't put your assignments off because you have 8 weeks to complete them. Start straight away and work hard early on.

This is what I've learned over 5 years.

Good luck mayne!

That is what I have been thinking. And because it is an online class the tests are open book. This is 122 class, but I have taken 350s online and the open book tests were not very passable unless you actually read the material at least once.

I think you are right though. I asked the professor and he said that he knows it's crazy and that our discussions, another part of our grade, can pad our test grades. :shrug:

You take care of business, if you have 6 chapters you read them and take the quiz with the info fresh in your mind. Its an online class so you'll have the advantage of using the book as a reference during the test too. If you have an electronic version of it the search function in your ereader or pdf reader will help you knock out some problems quick too by taking you directly to the answers in your text. Its not hard. It might be a pain in the ass but its not hard. Its just a matter of completing your tasks.

So far so good.

I have been reading and skimming with confidence.

I am almost ready to take test 1 and get it over with.

I would like to keep this rolling and take test 2 by Monday so I can be half done.
