so if you're like me your exam season probably looks something like this
two weeks before exams you suddenly remember you need to study and then quickly realize
i understand nothing not only that but you start spiraling and become an anxious puddle of
tears because you don't even know where to start studying and you're feeling completely overwhelmed
are you kidding really it's true oh my god you got this fighting girl
so thankfully i did survive my final season and ended up getting the score that i needed
so in this video i'll be sharing with you guys what i do to get a's on my exams and
hopefully these tips and routine will help you get the grades that you want
let's get down to business to defeat exams i know i'm being over dramatic but desperate times
call for desperate measures so to begin with the game plan stage i first start off by getting to
know the exams dates resources available type of exam percent of my grade etc and it's just really
helpful at this stage to read through the syllabus see if there's any other information about the
exams this way you'll have somewhere where you can see clearly just how many exams you have to
study for and just what to expect and this is a tip for anyone who's taking standardized tests
like ep exams sat but many times i noticed that my classes would either not cover some material that
was ultimately on an ap exam or that it would cover some material that ended up not being
tested on the ap exams so prep books and also the websites that go along the standardized tests like
the college board will also be your friend because they have actual old exams they also have their
official pdfs that talk about the exam so they're just a very reliable standardized source to use
speaking of assignments other than your finals grammarly can help you juggle all your coursework
during finals and exam period so grammarly is an online writing tool so not just a spelling and
grammar checker that improves your productivity and saves you time when you have multiple
assignments to complete it's free to download and easy to integrate into your daily life and it
works where you work like google docs to help you work more efficiently grammarly has a free version
with basic and grammar spelling suggestions but upgrading to grammarly premium will save you so
much more time with their advanced features so you can feel confident your writing is compelling
succeed on your finals and work more efficiently with grammarly and avoid losing out on easy marks
instead of using multiple websites to find new words use grammarly's free synonym feature to
replace your overused words and since it's also hard to juggle all of your assignments during
final season especially with all your different classes you can get the right message across
with grammarly's free setting goal feature to ensure your writing to the right audience
upgrade to grammarly premium so you can get your work done quicker and save time finding citations
with grammarly premiums plagiarism detector so overall i've been using grammarly for around
two years now and i 10 out of 10 recommend it to everybody which is why i mention it in
basically every single one of my videos since it just helps so much with checking papers and
honestly i just use it for all my assignments just to double check that i didn't make any mistakes so
with finals and exams coming up succeed in school with tools like grammarly it's free why not go to
grammarly.com studies to success to sign up for a free account and if you'd like to get extra
features upgrade to grammarly premium for 20 off to help you save time and work more efficiently so
before i make an actual game plan for my studying the first thing i do is take a practice test
for each of the classes that i haven't examined so once i have taken the practice exam i write
down my percent score and then writing down the general topics of the questions that i missed
so this helps me determine what are my weakest areas and which chapters i need to review first
and so now that i know which areas are my weakest and roughly what my percent score is if i just go
in blind i ruthlessly prioritize my time during the exam weeks and leading up to them based on
the importance of each exam for my grade and again the situation with how prepared i am
even without studying so i know this might sound pretty ruthless but i ultimately figured out this
system when i was taking a ton of classes in high school and i realized that i simply
could not prioritize every single exam equally so just as an example my senior year i think i had
like 10 ap exams and i also had three dual enrollment exams in the same semester so i had
an insane amount of exams and one of the classes i think it was sas statistics i did a calculation
and realized if i just got above a 42 on the exam i would still have an a in the class so i realized
that i was just pretty much not going to study for that exam at all and prioritize my other exams so
sometimes you do have to be strategic about it and if you just don't have enough time for all of your
classes and all your exams you need to choose which exams are the most important to you which
classes you want to prioritize depending on maybe your major or your goals ultimately and finally
also based on your current grades in the classes as well as how well you did on the practice exam
so you take this into account you determine the grade the minimum grade that you need on the exam
in order to get the ultimate grade that you want in the class you look at the grade that
you got on the first practice exam that you took you look at how many weeks or how many days you
have left and how many exams you have and then you use all the things you did during the three
previous steps to finally determine what is your calendar and schedule for the exams roughly how
many hours you have between them and which ones you want to prioritize it may sound ruthless but
in my experience it's very effective and essential especially when you have a ton of exams
so now it's time for actually studying so the first thing that i usually do is i go
over the week areas that i didn't do that well on during the practice exam and i take
very minimal basic notes so i pretty much just read through the chapter and just take notes on
the things that i remember i missed on the exam or that i genuinely just didn't know and if you
don't have time to read through the chapters or they're just very very long i recommend reading
the end of the chapter summary they usually include all of the main vocab as well as the
major concepts so once i've gone over the chapters that i determined i needed to review i watched the
review lecture if there is a review lecture since this can be extremely helpful in understanding the
psychology of the professor and understanding which topics the professor prioritizes as
well as any other useful information they might slip to the students during the review lecture
so stage three is making exam summary pages so i already mentioned this in my previous exam
video if you want to check it out but basically this is just where you write
down whatever you highlighted and still struggle with onto one two three four pages so that you
can constantly review them and reread them the day before and the morning of the exam
also i don't always hand write my exam summary pages a lot of the times if it's
math or like for example my marketing class that i had last semester i decided to type
out and then ultimately print the pages the exam summary pages instead of handwriting them
and this is just easier especially when there's lots of charts or diagrams and it's just easier
for you to type instead of handwriting it so now that i have my exam summary pages ready and
i have gone over all my weak areas i just keep doing practice tests and quizzes as many as
possible until the exam comes so whenever i miss a question i just write it down and then also
write down an explanation of it and if i need to i look it up in the textbook again or in my notes
go over again that topic or that particular vocabulary term and make sure i 100 understand
it and again the more practice questions you do the better it helps you understand the
psychology of the professor or the college board or whoever is administering and making the exams
because after a while you start seeing a pattern in how the professor or the exam creator thinks
and it will help you during the actual exam to understand how to approach the questions
sorry good girl fighting
