Do you study for exams?

[jrb]

I completely revise and make sure that I'm well prepared.

Meh, I briefly flip through the books, make sure I remember most of the stuff. My biggest problem for exams is usually the essays, but you can't really study for those.

Of course you can.

 

[thackernerd]

I just make sure I'm confident I'm going to get an A, so I don't really study that much. I'm in 7th grade btw.

?
Of course you can.

How? You don't know the topic ahead of time, and the only other way I can think of is writing practice essays, which I don't think would help very much.

What crazy education system are you part of?

peice

Clearly!

Jkjk, I don't really care about spelling. I admit I haven't heard good things about it. Although, your system doesn't regularly base entire year grades on one 90 minute exam, right?

I rarely study and it is only for big exams. My grades reflect my habits(3.4 GPA).

 

[Jaycee]

I've never studied in my life.

That being said, I'm only in 8th grade.

 

[JackJ]

Yes, I study for my final exams. Which is anywhere from 10-20% of my semester grade.

Sophomore is HS btw.

I wish it did.

I wish it was based on multiple 90 minute exams

One attempt is too high variance... Trust me.

Surely they'll give you a topic that requires knowledge from your course to write.
You can always gather and organize ideas and opinions from notes/your head that you've gained from your class, so you don't waste time on your essay by having to start fresh.
Especially for writing essays about novels, it's unbelievably helpful to make detailed a list of themes and characters and compare things ahead of time.

Im sure that i will win if i commit time for my studies but i dont feel motivated at all. I feel very bad for not studying in this final phase. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

I just touch on some of the topics I'm finding less comfortable with.

I don't study my teacher explaining the subject is enough for me and get good grades but the pressure of the test usually makes me panic and get a 50. Other wise I take advanced classes without studying.
