So I have a test tomorrow and...

The last one 3/4 of the class failed and I've been studying all week for this but I'm still worried since I only have a c average right now and I can't afford to mess up. Anything you guys like to do last minute prep wise?

I've never had big test taking issues, however I play sports and a big game is like an important test. Don't pressure yourself unless you perform better under pressure. Get enough sleep. Listen to your favorite music. Get your mind ready. Don't think about what's at stake, think about execution. And remember to drink your Ovaltine.

What subject is it? Studying for math is a lot different than history.

For math, practice the process and work a hit without worrying about the answers.

For fact based stuff read the chapter again. Try to explainthe events out loud to yourself.

For english just use a bunch of big words.

Chemistry requires prayer and a living sacrifice.

This might help you. When I'm in the time crunch, this guided relaxation makes me feel more confident. It could just be a placebo, but hey, it's whatevs.

Huh, we were talking about that in my psyche class recently and brainwaves during meditation. I will say he has a very steady voice though.

I find him to be relaxing, and he was in a documentary I saw on Hypnosis. It was very interesting.

I record my voice reading out loud the things that I need to remember and I play it on loop while doing other stuff. :)

I've been trying that recently and it's kinda like this whole "I'm always studying a little bit thing"
