    After learning the core materials, I organise a study group with friends to discuss and ask each other questions.

    just make notes on what you have read
    at the end of each chapter ask yourself what you have just read
    and then look through each term in that chapter to review
    just make sure you understand the concepts, understanding them will help you memorize it alot more than just memorizing

    Hmmm.... thats a most unusual method to study. Are you planning to be the Dr Phil of sexology in the future?

    i could only pay full attention studying when i m armed with highlighters, sweets(to avoid sleepiness) and soothing or soft music ...and probably even faster when it is a last-minute starter before exams!

    i read over everything to make sure i understand then i write down the key points. there isn't rele an exact way to study just one that suits u. i do like the idea of cue cards but then i too lazy to create those.

    The_Jelly NSFW? :P

    If you need to memorize the information its very likely that you don't truly understand the content. However, if you still want to memorize it I'd advise you to make cards with bullet points that summarize the main idea of what you are studying.

    Haha *high fives*

    Seriously though. It's best to study a little at a time. Also, get a good amount of sleep the night before.

    go someplace quiet, dont sit somewhere too comfortable though. or you would not study well because you would end up falling asleep.

    it easy to study non math courses...

    Just memorise the slides if they have it...I never use to memorise the slide and then recite them on paper...very quick...dont even have to buy the book...

    if the prof asks a question not on the slide...I go to him and say u didnt cover it in class...look at the slides

    -lol

    I am very sharp in my studies and have good memory. I try to understand the basic theme of the assignment.By doing so I can write all the stuff in my own wording.

    Oh man, I can't study in the library at all. Everytime I try, I fall asleep. Then I can't do it at home...mainly because there are just so many distractions in my house. So...I study on the subway and ferry when I'm going to and from school. Both places are...relatively quiet (assuming it's not rush hour). If all fails...I just study in the period before the test.

    Well, I read out loud to myself, somehow it makes me remember.I don go to library cause I would get kicked out or people would look at me like a freak. I usually lock myself in the room and just read and read until I am confident I memorize it.Hahahahah i am quite a recluse during exams :p Try memorizing and test urself by writing it down.

    I don't study everything all at once. I usually study little by little because it's too hard for me to cram everything all at once at the last minute.

    To study easily, you should study regularly, even if its just twenty minutes per day. Because every time you study you remember it, and the day after, when you study again, you revise and remember it again. Eventually it builds up and stays in your brain . . at least . . I hope it does. :)

    I usually study at the library or at home. I dunno though, both can be distracting.

    i have a bad memory and my way of studying will be reading the material over and over again ... i tend to write the texts out using my own words and i find it more easier to remember that way.
