Looking for some study advice

[nolliepop]

Procrastination is what put me in the boat I was in until today. I needed 7 credits to graduate this semester and I knew I needed to take 3 cleps to make it happen since the very beginning of the year. I didn't get around to finally taking them until Wednesday of last week. I had never taken a clep before, but passed 3 cleps in a week and 2 days. I took my last one this afternoon and seeing the passing score was overwhelming because it meant graduation, finally. Although procrastination put me into a boat of extreme stress and nervousness, I don't regret it. I enjoyed being in that boat and testing my ability to retain a lot of information in a short time frame.

My method of studying was opening notepad or word and typing up groups and subgroups of information that I didn't know as I went through the IC flash cards. Typing everything helps to support my memory of the material. After its all written down, it is typically about 6-8 pages in word with 0.5" margins, times new roman, 10 pt font, single spaced. I commuted to school which is about an hour and a half away so I would print out the pages I wrote and study up on the way. This method of studying for exams is probably not the method of choice for most, but it works for me.

Good luck on your exams!
