Let’s get started

Why does the time always pass so quickly? It’s nearly the end of the semester again which means that the most stressful time can start again. Studying time. There are different types of people and different methods or strategies how to study in the most effective way. The early starter who is already finished a day before the actual exam and the late starter which doesn’t get much sleep the night before the exam and can’t talk to anyone in the train to the uni because he/she needs to memorise the last facts/ equations etc.

Here are some questions which might help you to get the timing right:

• How much material do you need to cover?
• How difficult is the material?
• How much time is available?
• Do you have any other priorities during the study period?
• What is the format of the exam?
• How important is the exam?
• What is your performance target for the exam?

I am rather the early starter because I have the problem that I can’t properly sleep the night before the exam when I studied before sleeping. I calculate the whole time or try to solve the questions whilst sleeping and can’t rest at all.

What type of study person are you? Have you got any suggestions?

Good luck everyone for the upcoming exams!
