9 . . . Don’t care for exams.
Successful students know that divided periods of study are more often effective
than cram sessions, and they practice it.
If there is one thing that study
skills specialist agree on it is that distributed study is better than massed,
late-night, last-ditch effort known as cramming. You’ll learn more, remember
more and earn a higher grade by studying in four, one hour-a-night session on
Thursday night. Short, concentrated preparatory efforts are more affected and
rewarding than wasteful, inattentive, last moment marathons. Yet, so many
students fall to learn this session and end up repeating it all over again until
it becomes a wasteful habit. Not too
clever, huh?
When
you cram, taking a short cut, and short cuts never produce any real worthwhile
results. Also, when you take shortcuts, you fell rather rotten knowing that you
could have done better but didn't Shortcut cut you short. You can’t
plant watermelons seeds and harvest fresh watermelons the next day. It takes
time. Cramming for a test or project and expecting them to harvest the next
day. Plus cramming for a test or project doesn’t help you academically, so why
even do it. Plan ahead, prepare ahead. Give yourself plenty of days and weeks
to prepare for upcoming accountability opportunities.
