Okay- the first test I got a freakin 60:sniff:. [Thats a ******* F:eek:] k, My Professor does the tests on 5 chapters at a time. I have a really hard time studying- and I know I am going about it the wrong way- could someone please give me advice on how to study- my next test is Tuesday- I only have 5 days to study- is it possible in that time? Chapters 6-9 I think. HELP!!!!! I have a hard time remembering and concentrating while studying.:banghead: What do you do?????

Thanks,

Audrey

sorry to hear about your difficulties audrey...maybe it's just that you haven't yet tapped into your own personal learning style yet. try this website...it has you take a short quiz to determine the best way for you to learn...visual, auditory or kinesthetic.

the first link i put up required you to buy something to get your results, so i changed it to this one...not sure how it works. i haven't tried it yet...if it's another scam let me know...completely not intentional!

good luck!

Definitely take into consideration what type of learning style you are, it actually helped me a lot when it came to studying to know what kind of learning style I am. It really helped me sharpen up my study skills. Im in Developmental Psychology right now and i currently have an A in the class so I know it's possible. My first test i got a B-, not exactly stellar but i made it up really quick but trying different study methods until i figured out what worked best for my style of learning.

I am a single mom- so I think the whole studying this is a problem- I get home help her do her homework cook dinner and then try to do my studying- which I don't get in much before having to get her in the tub and ready for bed... Def. need to study more and longer. Thanks for the advice though! And I will try my best- please say a prayer for me! And a "B" is awesome- you should be very proud! Keep up the great work!:yeah:

i know how you feel i have 2 little ones 1 and 2 yrs old, its for sure a crazy time, i am taking this same class right now and have a B so i ask my instructor for extra credit she was very generous and offered 50pts, so maybe you could check and see if your instructor would maybe offer so extra credit for you.. hang in there, and i wish you luck.

Nope, he said at the beginning of the year he does not believe in extra credit or make up tests what you get is what you get. ERRR! LOL And if we miss a test we miss it- no make ups or exceptions. :down: BOO!

Well I will try my hardest to study tonight tomorrow and over the weekend- the next test is TUESDAY! :eek:

Thanks again,

Audrey:clown:
