basically the only thing I do in preparation for an exam is basically look over my notes once and go to sleep haha
I mean I just took my finals and I actually did pretty good considering how much I studied
nothing lower than a B!
there was some research done actually that if you cram before you fall asleep, you're more likely to remember the materials. Your mind recites them or some shit
& also in my psychology class we discussed how if you link new material to something already in your long term memory, its a SHITLOAD easier to remember. The brain is a crazy thing.
