Jade Brooks: Flashcards help me so much, especially when I need to memorize specific terms and definitions!
Conner Edwards: My best advice for studying is to try and find practice questions either online, or ask the Professor. Actually, completing practice problems not only helps me to prepare for the exam, but to better understand the information.
Eddie Helm: When I’m studying, I usually put on relaxing music in the background, or listen to a podcast that I’ve previously heard. For some reason the extra background stimulation helps me to focus. This tactic may not be for everyone!
Professor Hendricks: Prevent cramming as much as possible. You should instead be doing multiple, short study sessions. As soon as your mind starts to wander, take a break. 20-30 minute sessions when your mind is most active are better than longer sessions that may tire you out.
Dr. Wheeler: Get organized in terms of the material you need to study. Prioritize what you don’t know as opposed to the concepts you’re confident on. Also make sure to get plenty of sleep before the exam!
Dr. McGinley: Hide your technology, or at least disable your internet and put your phone on Do Not Disturb. Research shows that the constant interruptions not only make us study for much longer, they also prevent our brain from processing at deeper levels.
