1) stop cramming, start understanding

2) Dont limit urself to syllabus books, u will never get the essence of a subject unless u read some reference book

3) Try to use all ur senses while learning something (reading, reciting and visualizing etc)

[xbonez]

1) stop cramming, start understanding

but stuff like history, geography and organic chem has to be crammed

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

start studying 6-7 hours before exam......mug up as much as you can.......cram some examples if you think they are important........give the exam.......cheat a lil bit..........get 50-60% marks........enjoy.......tell your parents that you passed every subject while most peeps in your class flunked one or more.

Tried and tested formula......I've been using it since ages.

^^^that formula does'nt work in mordern times

caught in 8th

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

Works for me even now.But the only downside is you wont get good marks.

 

[praka123]

^it wont work out with Engg maths papers I lost my hope this time too .for more detailssee my profile esp job.

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

Engg. maths sux!!! I am in 3rd semester and thank goodness there is no maths from 4th semester.Hope fully I am make through with gods will and paper setters wishes.

BTW yea your profile is cool esp. the job part.

 

[Faun]

but stuff like history, geography and organic chem has to be crammed

fot history and geography i cant say much coz it depends upon ur interest.

But for organic chemistry, hav u ever hear of Morrison Boyd Organic chemistry. U will never ever mug up organic chemistry after reading(yeah like story book) this book.

^it wont work out with Engg maths papers I lost my hope this time too .for more detailssee my profile esp job.

yeah M-III was a complete disaster for me, got low marks. In maths u need good books and persistent practice.

U cant do Engg maths in 5 days.

when you feel bored after studying a stretch...

or of you dont feell like studying and havent felt like studyin since ages then...

WORk...

by work i mean to say, look at the small things around that have to be worked out...

ur room may require cleaning

you may require cleaning .. get a shower as many times as you like...

things maybe out of order...

cook up something special if you can or get it ordered and have it to your liking.....

listen up some not-slow-but-fast music i mean itll keep your senses UP...

see if something needs to be mended, then mend it....

make drawings, paintings,... or just write poems...


This is all to kill boredom... EVERYONE KNOWS HOW TO STUDY... but very few of'em know how to "KILL BOREDOM AND RETURN TO STUDY IN TIME AFTER FEELING BETTER "

If you work a bit in the gaps you get after studying, you will...

0. kill a bit of laziness and boredom
1. have the pending work done, whatever it may be
2. realize that you lost precious time while working...

usually the last thing does not happen if you are trying to get a gap by doing something really insteresting and exciting... you wont easily realise the time lost...

anywyas this works out for me...
i even cook myself when bored and then i wont let the maid or my mum to wash those dishes... wash'em myself... in the end you'll also feel proud that you did it....

[Pathik]

M in sem3 now.. Acc to me 5days is enuf for ny subject.. Btw ll hav to c y u ppl hate math 3 so much

 

[faraaz]

Me...I'm doing MBA and regular tricks of cramming and going to class doesn't work...especially if you get cold called and have to give impromptu case study presentations...which is pissing offf...

And reading and understanding doesnt work when you have to read 300 pages daily...(I kid you not! Look up Modern Financial Management and check out contents list...chapters 4,5,6 & 7 are to be finished by tomorrow morning )

Skim reading and HOPING to God that you don't get asked questions...yeah, that works!
