How to study for exams
How I did it:
I didn't.
And that's how I did.
You see, I first chose this goal nearly one whole year ago. It was a week before semester one uni exams. I was repeating a hard unit, in a course I had lost interest in.
So I simply didn't study for it. That was the best decision I made that semester.
Sure - I failed. But it led me to leave that path behind and take 6 months off to find out what else I could do with my life.
Now, it's one year later. I'm actually studying for my first semester of commerce exams and it doesn't feel like I am pulling my teeth out just to get started! I have a genuine interest in my units, and I've been putting in effort all semester.
Lessons & tips:
Sometimes failing can be good. It allowed me to take a step back and re asses my real interests.
It was hard. No one likes failing. But you learn from your mistakes, right?
I realised that not attending lectures and trying to cram 12 weeks worth of chemistry into 5 nights was not a recipe for sucess.
This time round, (in a degree I enjoy) I've made an effort to attend every class and revise as I go. So far it's worked wonders - I've got all my revision planned and my stress levels under control!
