exam pre

This week I am using the exam pre strategy because I will have an exam next week. My exam is psychology, which is not easy at all from my perspective.  I had my last exam one month ago. I had my grade that was not bad, but I was totally disappointed.  This time I think I will do better because of those strategies from CLS 105.  First of all, I remember what professor told us “ always focus on topic instead of material”.  I think that is pretty helpful.  I will focus on only the topic my psychology professor gave to us.  At the same time, I will also use three materials to help me study the topics.  My psychology professor highlighted the importance of the outline she post on the blackboard more than millions of times.  I know the outlines would be really important for my preparation.  Secondly, I will use the textbook as well.  Reading is always helpful, and it helps us to explore and deepen the topics.  At the same time, there are some exercises on the textbook.  I can do those exercises, so I can be well prepared in the next exam.  In addition, we had some in class exercises, and professor passed those handouts. She thought the topics would be most highlighted parts of this psychology class.  When I was preparing my exam, I also found those handouts from my holders and warmed them up.

The other strategy I used is organization, which is the combination of topic outline and schedule.  I combined my studying schedule with my topics.  Every day I had my studying topic and materials.  I printed out my outlines from the blackboard.  From Monday to Thursday, I studied each chapter individually. On Friday and Saturday, I studied two chapters each day.  Last Sunday, I studied the whole 4 chapters.  In the next three days, I used another materials, such as textbooks and handouts from our professor.  in addition,  there are some exercises or review questions on my textbook, I didn’t miss them and studied for my psychology exam.
