What are the best study habits/note-taking tips?
I am a 17 year old high school senior planning on going into nursing.
What kind of study techniques work really well?
Hi! I am a student who struggles in studying for tests and keeping up with assignments. What advice do you have?
Can you help me study more efficiently?
I've noticed that I tend to receive lower grades on my math and English Language Arts (ELA) finals than I expect. While I usually score high on quizzes and tests, often earning A's and occasionally B's, I generally understand the material and concepts well. However, on the finals, I typically get B's when I had hoped to achieve at least an A-. I suspect the issue arises from my study habits; I usually only study a few days before the finals and often resort to cramming, which causes me to miss some important concepts. Therefore, I am seeking effective study methods to improve my academic performance. I plan to start studying two weeks before each final, but I'm wondering if that will be enough.
How do I figure out what style of note taking works best for the way I process information in order for me to genuinely take in what I learn rather than memorize information just for a test or exam and completely forget it afterward?
I'm currently a senior in high school who is going to college in the fall and majoring in biochemistry. Although I have taken AP Chemistry and AP Biology and I am fortunate enough to say I have a pretty good background in each subject, I know these courses in college will definitely be more difficult.
