Isn’t it weird how some people who don’t really seem like
they’re studying at all can ace exams with flying colors? Are they born
geniuses? Are they nefarious cheaters who slip tiny sheets of paper in their
wallet?
While that is also plausible in some cases ,there are some
dirty tricks on how to study, or at least have an answer on what’s going to be
on the exams.
The first one being making a formula sheet. You often see
this being handed out by tuition sites. A few sheets of formulas and
explanations that strip textbooks to it’s bare bones. It is very helpful since
you can avoid all the clutter of references books to get to that one formula
you forgot. And also since the sheet is so minimalistic it is easy on the eyes
and on the brains – memorizing wise.
Not only that, you can also make flash cards for the more
memory oriented subjects like History or Geography. Flash cards take advantage
of the human’s psyche that often forgets what they learn just a few seconds ago
and put emphasize on that one word you always seem to forget the definition of.
Finally, you have to pay extra attention in class when the
lecturer tells you what will be on the exams. Since our current exam system is
more of a test of aptitude rather than general intellect, this last tip is
sometimes all you need to get straight A’s in exams.
