8. KEEP IT FRESH
“When you’re listening to a lecture, you’re so focused on trying to get all the info in your brain that you might not fully understand it all. Going through your notes right away, with the info still in your mind, can help you process all the new info at your own pace without the pressure. Plus, repetition is key. As you read through your notes, you’re creating a kind of story. The more you can look at something and have the storyline in your head, the more you’ll remember it.”
7. PROFESSORS ARE PEOPLE TOO
“Go and talk to your professor about what’s going to be on the test or quizzes. Building rapport with my professors helped me like them and want to please them with an “A.” Professors actually do want their students to succeed and talking to them helps you know what to prepare for.”
9. WHEN YOU SEE THE ICEBERG, CALL THE CAPTAIN
“Make sure you get help, if you don’t understand the material early instead of waiting until the test to make sense of it. In thermodynamics, structural analysis and statics, putting in an effort to understand the material early on helped me get way better grades then waiting until a week or two before the exam.”
