    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:13 📚 *Prioritize exam topics using the "Cram Matrix" by assessing strengths/weaknesses and testing weight.*
    02:17 🧠 *Establish a high-level understanding of topics before diving into details. Use priming questions, skim chapter summaries, review vocab, and watch CZcams videos to patch gaps.*
    03:43 🛠️ *Use tools like Paperlike for iPad note-taking. Prioritize clarity in notes for effective study.*
    04:52 📝 *Focus on practice problems for effective exam preparation, especially for STEM classes. Allocate 90% of time to practice problems.*
    06:16 😴 *Get adequate rest before the exam to enhance memory consolidation. Prioritize sleep over late-night cramming.*

    My dad once told me a story about when he was in college.
    My dad had been sick for almost the entire prep leave, and by the time he recovered, there were inly two days left to study. His friend had been waiting for him to study. They were done cramming one chapter, and then saw the previous years’ exam papers, and they had studied the chapter that was supposed to be tested lightly (10% of the paper). They couldn’t cram the other chapter, and gave up hope before the exam, and simply recapitulated the other chapter. When they went to give the exam, they realised that 95% of the questions in the paper was from the chapter they had studied. It turned out that a new professor had created the paper, and put majority of the questions from the first chapter, and my dad and his friend became the subject toppers. 😅

  • @angelinemccabe7807
    @angelinemccabe7807 Před 5 měsíci +7

    Love the advice but I found when cramming I'd be more focused on my strengths if tested heavily I'd probably swap that out for priority 2 maybe even 1. This is assuming you know the test structure. For my statistics finalI focused on accumulating marks as much as I could. I managed to get 65% though not impressive that is with knowing a little over half the content and cramming 8 hours before the exam.
    So I'd say start with you're strength that will be heavily tested then weakness, atleast try to get halfway through but if not put it aside anf focus on the lightly tested strength. Perfect it. Then go back to the weaknesses if you have time.

    Organismal Biology exam coming up tmr evening. We’re getting tested on 3 chapters and over the last 4 days I’ve read through 2 of the chapters and written/re-written my lecture notes, as well as listened to CZcams videos covering the first two chapters at least twice each, but I haven’t started on the third chapter, and I haven’t even begun to do any of the textbook practice problems for any of the chapters.
    So I’m gonna try to prioritize most of my efforts into at least establishing a base for the third chapter (skimming the chapter summary/review) and work on all the textbook practice problems spanning across all three chapters. If I have time I’m also gonna make a Quizlet full of all the vocab from the chapters as well, and if I have time, I’ll read through all of the chapter I’ve neglected.
    And if I somehow still have time, I’m gonna “lecture” my stuffed animal about the three separate chapters using my lecture notes. Fingers crossed!!! I got from now (3:46pm) until 6:30 pm tmr evening.

    Here's My 60 Second Summary Of 'how to CRAM for an exam (the right way) with time stamps. thank me later...
    (00:13) Prioritise exam topics based on strengths, weaknesses and how important it will be in the exam (per mark) Gohar calls this the Cram Matrix...
    (02:17) First understand from a high level by skimming and summarising before learning tactically (micro content)
    (04:52) Do lots of practice questions
    (05:34) Find those practice questions in past exams and textbooks
    (06:57) Sleep is important for memory!
    My own take is that if you are cramming sleep probably doesn't matter a whole lot, cram harder... ideally you don't need to though! Subscribe to my channel for smart student tips so you can score straight A's without the hard work (or cramming!)
