seriously man just put your head down, u said it youself everythings riding on this
i know when i have university exams my social life sucks but WHO CARES
sacrifice abit of time now for a GREAT future
ull have plently of time to laze around and socialize when u have passed your course
u dotn pass your course and you aint gonna be doing shit
plus in australia if you fail a subject you can repeat, however id never do that since it costs over $5000 a semester here
so get off your arse and off this forum and go hit the books
grab your books, sit in a room and start fuking reading
whenever i study i do it with a study partner, OR i find someone whos stupid in my course and try teach them the subject, if you can teach a subject then you know the subject
looking at previous exams always helped me aswell, plus looking over the years midsemester and previous ones
looking over old homework also helped, however if your liek me who didnt do their homework FIND someone who has and look at it so u know whats going on
also since your doing psycology im sure u know the main way MANKIND or a human learns something and becomes good at it is
REPITITION
meaning you do something over and over again and u memorise how to do it
the same goes for study, if you go over it enough times youll remeber it, just keep repeating it and ull learn it
its proven that this is the best way a human learns
also the brain absorbs and learns the most for a period of about an hour
after an hour the brains ability to absorb knowledge and memorise things weakens, and becomes distracted
im sure uve studied before and usually for approx the first hour study is really really good, but then u start thinking about other things, or u start looking around or outside
this is about the time when your brains loosing its attention span
study in hour intervals, with breaks inbetween
i personaly always study in hour intervals with a stupid study partner that i explain to them what were learning after ive made them test me on repeating the information in the book and notes a few times
after an hour i take a 20minute break, and then start all over again
the idea behind this study theory does work and is based on science, not peoples personal experiences, since ur studying psycology i thought id suggest a method based on science and not theory
