Question

How can I learn social science in one day? I have four books to read.

Community Answer

Divide everything you have to learn into small chunks and use your time to study the important concepts. If you are not able to complete much in one day, get up a little early in the morning and study as much as possible before the test. But do not overexert yourself. Be sure to get sufficient sleep. Cut off all distractions and study, with 5 minute breaks every 20 minutes or so.

Question

When should I wake up the day before exams?

Community Answer

That will depend on how much study you plan on doing for the day and how confident you feel. It's also best to wake up at the time you'd usually wake up, as this is healthier for your body to stay at set times.

Question

How do I study a whole syllabus in one day?

Alice Fernyhough

Community Answer

Firstly, you need to identify which areas of the syllabus are problem areas for you. Focus on these areas in particular, perhaps making lists of subgroups. Work in half-hour increments and stick to them; if the half-hour is up and you don't understand something, just move on. This should ensure at least surface-level knowledge of most of the syllabus.

Question

How can I remember the keywords?

Community Answer

Start studying beforehand and revise the keywords frequently in your leisure time. When it comes to revising them, have a friend or family member quiz you on them rapidly and without mercy.

Question

What do I do if I have a test tomorrow and I've learned nothing?

Community Answer

Ask a friend for help. Maybe even ask them over so you can study together. Just make sure to stay focused or you will find that by the time they have to leave, you only worked on 1 or 2 questions.

Question

I forgot my notes at school, and we went for a break to study. I have no other books and my important notes are in there. What should I do? This is my last day of studying.

Entranced98

Top Answerer

Ask a friend if you could borrow a book or some notes to help you study. Better still, turn this into a group study session. You could try visiting a library in case they have any books that could help you. It's also worth checking if you have any old flashcards or marked homework sheets at home that you can use for studying. Marked work is surprisingly useful in this case, since your teacher's comments on it can show you how to answer test questions in a way that scores you a lot of points.
