I have to take a test Friday that if I pass I can go to work and pretty much double what I make now and not have to work 2-3 jobs. The problem is studying. I haven't had to study a book in years. I can't stay focused or remember half of what I read. Any tips?

****

Write the answers realy small on your hand and then look at them when you need help

just lock your self in your room and have no distractions man it all comes back after a while

Gingko Biloba improves mental acuity. Pick some up.

Also... lay off the sugar while studying. Drink Red Bull if anything.

AND TAKE NOTES AS YOU GO!!!!!!!

Two reads in high voice...then, use a markier STABILO BOSS *comercial* and a third read to yourself...repeat it as you see necessary...
Don't forget "esquemas" (I don't know the translation) and sex to relax you... :)

MAD ADVICE BRO!

Thanks, I'll try that. I think sugar is part of the problem cause I drink a ton of green tea at night with honey.

oh another piece of advice unplug your phone

Don't cheat yourself!!!

Column 5 shows the packing group assigned to a material.
Column 6 shows the hazard warning label(s) shippers must put on
packages of hazardous materials. Some products require use of more
than one label due to a dual hazard being present. No label is needed
where the table shows the word NONE.
Column 7 lists the additional (special) provisions that apply to this
material. When there is an entry in this column, you must refer to the
federal regulations for specific information.
Column 8 is a three-part column showing the section numbers covering
the packaging requirements for each hazardous material.
Note: Columns 9 and 10 do not apply to transportation by
highway.
Appendix A to §172.101 - The List of Hazardous Substances and
Reportable Quantities. The DOT and the EPA want to know about
spills of hazardous substances. They are named in the List of
Hazardous Substances and Reportable Quantities (see Figure 9-5).
Column 3 of the list shows each product's reportable quantity (RQ).
When these materials are being transported in a reportable quantity or
greater in one package, the shipper displays the letters RQ on the
shipping paper and package. The letters RQ may appear before or
after the basic description. You or your employer must report any spill
of these materials which occurs in a reportable quantity.


If the words INHALATION HAZARD appear on the shipping paper or
package, the rules require display of the POISON or POISON GAS
placards, as appropriate. These placards must be used in addition to
other placards which may be required by the product's hazard class.
Always display the hazard class placard and the POISON placard,
even for small amounts.

everything that you think is important or factually important write it down in a notepad as you go, not only will you have to read over it a few times to write it down, but whilst you do it you will retain upto 70% more info doing it that way.

also for every 1 hour of reading or deep study take 15 minutes to relax and have a snack. then back at it. then read over your notes once you are done. Read over your notes over and over until you can repeat it without looking.

Then go over the book one more time and note one more tiem..

then sleep and get up 2 hours early to read over your notes you took and textbook just once before the exam


then take the exam

BTW...I forgot it ....Good luck Curly!!!...

I thought Red Bull was made of primarily sugar?

Okay, this is another method you can use to improve memory.

When studying, use a cologne, or scent that you dont normally wear. When you go to take your test, wear the same colognes. Familiar scents trigger memory.

Also, Ghost is right take notes. Taking notes require you to summarize what you have just read, locking in what you just read even further.

One other thing you can try is to make short cuts about the important key words you are studying. Like when I was learning the bass, the strings were E A D G. So I made a shortcut: "Eddie Always Does Good. "

Try teaching it to your kids. Take the notes and read them outloud to someone......

Curly...you know the stuff. Have faith that it will all come out on the day. Test anxiety is the reason most people fail, not because they are dumb, they just get so caught up in the whole "**** Man, its a test" mentality, that they blow it.

Be confident, even if you aren't, bull**** yourself into thinking you are. It will help.

That is excellent advice. Most importantly is get a good night's rest the night before and eat a healthy breakfast.

Thanks for all the good advice. I picked up some Gingko Biloba and am taking notes. I only own one brand of cologne so that's out but a good idea. This test means a lot to me and passing will make my pay checks double in about 2 weeks time. I'm taking a break now cause my eyes are hurting lol

well good luck on the test man

This is the best post I've ever read. I don't know why, it just is.

I swear it sounded good before I typed it.

Write it down as you read it, then do it all again tommorrow, writing it down apparently develops the never pathways in our brain which allows us after repetition to learn things a lot easier - basically repeated confirmation, telling our brain that its something we need to know.

If you think its too much work, think about whether this extra few days of hard work is worth less than working 2 or 3 jobs - I guarentee you will succeed.

Good luck mucho-chacho.

no, the sad part was I was serious. That was the best post ever when I read it lastnight.

OK break is over. Back to reading

I take part one tomorrow morning so I'm re reading the entire book now. 1 hour with 15 minute breaks after every hour. See ya in an hour

Ginkgo Biloba will take approx. 3-weeks to start to work. It increases blood flow to the brain (you may experience headaches from time to time because of this). But it does work!
It helps you concentrate alot easier.

The cologne thingy should work! I took that in Psychology. Also if you drink coffee while studying, try to drink it while you are doing the test as well.

Good luck muh-bruthuh!

TTT for passing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

get back to your book ***

I passed fool

I took bong hits all through college, but I'm not sure that works for everyone.

As long as I don't lift anything heavy they're fine. I'm going to see what happens next week. It could be a muscle I guess. I don't want to spend X-ray money if I don't have to.

If its feels better can i armbar you?

Yes,you can arm bar Curly
