I'm about to pull my hair out! I'm actually starting to get really upset. This is supposed to be (obviously) the most difficult exam of the semester. I already only scored a 68% on my first exam, I've been studying so hard for this exam, I NEED to do WELL on this exam! Please cross your fingers for me...
I'll let you all know how I do tomorrow evening.
Only 6 weeks left of my summer semester - had to throw in some good news to this post. lol.:uhoh21:

Please don't spend hours and hours studying...you'll remember the first 10% and the last 10% of the material

Study 30-45 minutes and take a 5 minute break..repeat as needed :)

Thanks for the advice. Although I actually study about 1 hr, take a break, study an hr, take a break. Thanks!

Remember to say the information out loud, it really helps to cement it to memory. Good luck, think good thoughts, and I will be praying and hoping you do well.

Wow Jen ... that's intense. The only thing I can offer is that with 6 complex areas on one test, the questions will probably be more about "the big picture" than nitty gritty details of each.

Good luck ... I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya. :)

I usually study for an hour or so and then get up and do something else for a few minutes, this usually consists of laundry or something BUT its nice to give my aching brain a rest! then i go back and start the process all over again. this does help!!!
