Hi! If you guys don't mind any tips on how to use time wisely when it comes to big tests, projects due, and of course... exams? I'm going to take one early exam in May but the rest of the 6 courses will be in June. Any advice? Routines? Ahhh... I still have so much projects, essays and assignments to do before I can take the exams! Help?

Prioritize. Unless I actually have time to do everything at my absolute best (which is practically never), I choose which tasks I'm going to put my time and effort into. I look at how much assignments, quizzes, etc, are worth and how beneficial they'll be for helping me study for my exams. Then if something has minimal benefit and isn't worth very much, I cut my losses and do the minimum required to get an all right mark.

Find a good study space. Force yourself to go somewhere where you won't be easily distracted like your room or the kitchen. Getting out of my room is half the battle for me.

For exams, I think it depends on how you learn. I usually can't study like Topiary does (by simply reading notes) because I'm a very visual learner and I have to organize my thoughts into tables, pictures, mind maps, etc. After three years, I still haven't figured out the best way to study, but I think the most efficient method so far has been making mind maps/tables/drawings immediately after lecture, so I can just study that later. But it really depends on the course. Oh, also practice exams are amazing. I do those and then correct all my mistakes thoroughly. While this takes time, it's extremely effective and I've done well on exams doing little more than that.
