Default Your method of studying

This is a thread about your study habits and other stuff. I would like to know how everyone keeps up with school.

Heres how I study and keep up. Somehow it works....


Ok, I have over 3.5 GPA. Everyone in my class thinks I study every night. Honestly, my work ethic is TERRIBLE. I NEVER STUDY, period. For my finals, I didn't even study, and I aced 2 of them. Let me tell you about my school routine. Before school, if I have any unfinished work, I do them during class or before school. When I come home, 1st thing I do is pig myself out on food. When I'm done pigging myself, I place myself before the computer and Xmods. I multitask when on the computer. 1) I turn on music. 2) I go on XMS 3) I play games such as CS SF... for 3 hours 4) I work on xmods while all this is going on. Then during the last minute around 9:30PM and 10:00PM, I do my homework. This is how I "study." We have stacks of homework that supposedly takes at least 2 hours to complete. Now read carefully if you want to "study" my style. 1) Turn on music 2) Get a cup or glass of water. 3)Take out homework. 4)Organize what needs textbooks to be done and do that first. 5) Leave the easy ones left to do. 6) SPEED THROUGH THEM LIKE NOTHING WHILE TRYING YOUR BEST TO GET IT CORRECT. 7) Sip some water after each assignment. 8) Check the time.

I speed through my homework so fast, everyone thinks i'm crazy. I have almost 100% on all homework grades, this is because I try my best, while going the fastest. This works for me because I save my homework for last minute, when I am totally relaxed, and ready to tackle homework, instead of coming home school crazed already, and doing homework. I remember the stuff from last night easily because my mind is cleared up.

Here's some of my advice you CAN TRY, not guaranteed to work, but you can try.

Let me ask you a question first, would you either

1) Pay attention in class and remember things.

or

2) Not pay attention in class, goof off, do random crap and having to go home and study off someone's notes.

I would rather pay attention, if you really think about it, there isn't anything good do to during class, sure, you can wander around looking at girls or pictures on the wall, or even text with your phone, but hey, if you do pay attention and actually remember, sure beats spending 5 hours looking through notes to find answers for homework.

so...

1) Pay Attention.

2) If your teacher writes notes all over the board, look for main points instead of copying details that you cram in and find it not useful.

3) Save homework last minute, in a time when you are relaxed, and also give yourself enough time to finish. If you do your homework when relaxed, your mind will be more alert and you will be able to remember things better.

4) Drink something with caffeine. Keeps you alert and actually helps you think better.

5) Listen to music while doing homework. Do this if it isn't distracting, it relaxes you and helps you focus.

So, enough rambling about my study habits, tell me about yours and how it works out.

and this wall of text took 10 minutes to write up. :\

hehe thts almost exactly like my study habit lol.

Running a 4.0 GPA atm, never ever study at all. Heres my school schedule when i get home, 1)eat, eat eat. 2) Go to my room and get on XMS and open up like 10 tabs just to research, 3) play some BF2142 3) go up and eat dinner 4) come down stairs and check some more XMS 5) Work on my Xmods till 8:00 6) do some random stuff, eat more 7) its like 9:30-10:00 now, and i finally decide to do my homework 8) go to bed around 10:15. People think i am really smart and study a lot, but i dont How do i take a test? just digg back into my head find the answers and tell myself that there's no reason to be nervous. I found this out on my own, lol: Intelligence is not something to be taught or a trait, intelligence is just the ability to remember what you are told and have read.

I used to keep a solid 4.0, never studied a minute in my life.

This year, I'm averaging about a 3.2, I stopped doing homework. And women are the devil, they take up valuable time... Lol.

Anyway, here's what I do, everyday.

1:00a - 7:30a: Sleep.
7:30a - 7:45a: Get ready for school, grab a poptart.
7:45a - 7:50a: Go to school.
7:50a - 8:15a: Walk around with my girl until 1st block.
8:15a - 3:00p: School/Sleep.
3:00p - 3:15p: Talk to my girl, miss the bus, get a ride home.
3:15p - 4:00p: Lay down, talk to my gurrll.
4:00p - 5:00p: Listen to brutal metal while coloring in my dinosaur coloring book. (Not a joke.)
5:00p - 5:30p: Eat 3 has browns, smothered in ketchup, drink 2 cans of Dr. Pepper, and get out my homework.
5:30p - 5:40p: Look at said homework, and see if its easy.
5:40p - 6:00p: If it is, do it. If not, watch TV.
6:00p - 6:30p: TV.
6:30p - 8:00p: Lay down, talk to my girl.
8:00p - 10:00p: MW2, AC2, or DJ Hero.
10:00p - 11:00p: TV.
11:00p - 1:00a: Text my girl, if she has her phone. If she doesn't, go to sleep.
1:00a - 7:30a: Sleep.


On Wednesdays, my schedule changes.
3:15p - 6:30p: Ride my Razor A2 Kick Scooter with my friend, text/talk to my girl on the phone.
6:30p - 8:30p: Church.
8:30p - 8:45p: Go home, get Wendys on the way home.
8:45p - 10:00p: MW2, AC2, or DJ Hero.
[Continue regular schedule from here.]

I've got around a 3.7 GPA, but unfortunately, I don't study too much.

For history, I just read over the section that we studied.

For math, I usually just read over what concepts we've learned, but a very good idea is to do some problems out while studying

For english, I'm not doing so well, but just read over the book once or twice, Sparknote or Cliff notes it if you need to brush up and memorize vocab words if you have them.

For science, I'm taking two science classes this year. For physics, I look over the packet (since for AP physics, we're just given packets) and try to do some of the problems. For Oceanography, I just read over the textbook we're given.

For Spanish, definitely study conjugations and memorize vocab words.

For PE, if you get lower than an A in that class, that's just really sad.

For Ceramics, I just do work. Fun class
