Only 2 more weeks until semester 1 final exams start for Canadian/Ontario high school students.

I already received a conditional offer from one of my top picks for university, so it's kind of hard for me to get motivated. Of course, I'll still try my best.

What are some of your study tips/methods? (Aside from the usual "eat breakfast, get sleep" stuff I've been told hundreds of times already.)

I usually hide GAs behind puzzles, but I don't have time to think of any right now. Nyeh ;3

I always take a picture of my grandmother (why my grandmother? long story!) within the exams to remember why I started studying and to remember myself that I can do everything.

My last and most difficult exam is in ten days and I'm screwed. For studying it's best to isolate yourself for a bit and take breaks at least every hour. If you don't you'll get demotivated really quick and your brain needs time to let information "sink in". Sleep is the best way to memorise stuff so get enough of it. Drink a lot of water and try to leave your phone behind in a different room so you won't get distracted.

Good luck to you and for everyone else

+1 to all of this. Reviewing key points (or things you've had trouble with) right before you go to bed also helps me remember it better.

EDIT: What my teacher taught me to do also is to review the previous section after you finish the next one, that way you retain it better and refresh yourself.

Good luck on the exams! I'm a fast learner that likes to procrastinate, so following my way of studying is generally a bad idea. I start at the very last minute but still get good results. If I spent more time I would ace more tests. Instead I study just a few hours per test but often manage to get the second highest grade.

Starting in time... that's probably the best tip I can give you. Don't be like me and put it off ;)

Play games during short breaks. One run of any rogue-likes should do.
And try to piss off any of your friends by casually watching movies on your laptop when you don't feel like studying (try not to watch movie loudly, that is an asshole move). That was my favorite thing to do during exam week. Bonus if you get them to join you.

My tip is that the last day before the exam is for review, not for studying new concepts. Study early and relex in the days leading to the tests.

study on the morning a bit each day, if there is a lot of memorization re-write a "short version", if it is about resolution then practice xd.

For math and sciences (or other subjects which have a definite correct answer), I'd say do practice questions. You could look for past year papers, sometimes they reuse old questions and tweak it a little. I wouldn't call this my study method, but start early. Every time I open my books a day before my exam I regret not starting earlier. :/ Anyway, all the best! The poll results are disappointing. Don't care too much about that.

studytip: let block your steam acc till your exams are over. So you wont be tempted to play games instead of studying. and also the chrome extension blocksite works great for me. I used to lurk around 9gag all day untill I installed it. Can still do it on phone, but that is to bothersome 0.0

and another thig that helps me greatly is stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JQsf7i_dXY

and this one (alpha waves ftw) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPni755-Krg

exam tips: when in doubt your first thought/ answer that you give, is most times the correct answer.

When you have a/b/c/d questions and dont know the answer, statisticly most times the answer is B ^^

Pretty good tips, though Steam really isn't a problem for me because I usually never play my games anyways (idle for cards, tell myself I'll play them, but then I procrastinate playing them) Procrastinating my games... Good lord T_T

exam tips: when in doubt your first thought/ answer that you give, is most times the correct answer.

I've been told this many times before. There were a few times I did not follow it, and I regret my answers right after handing the papers in.

When you have a/b/c/d questions and dont know the answer, statisticly most times the answer is B ^^

Whoa. Thanks. Hopefully there won't be any questions I'll have to guess, but now I know what to pick if I really get stuck.
