Anything will help..Try rewriting your notes on flashcards…then you have them compact so you can utilize them anywhere you find yourself with TIME!..Is there anyone in your class you can study-buddy? Go to the library at your University & check out if they have any past tests filed away as reference materials. You never know. If you can hire a study coach, do it NOW! I’m proud of your accomplishments & wish you much more continued succes. You can do this. Tell yourself that you will PASS. I found that students who walked into my classroom & said I’m going to fail did! Condition your spirit & your mind will follow.

Carry the notes with you everywhere so that you can revise often. Also try writing out your own notes on the difficult part which you are facing problems to help you to remember better. Give yourself 10-15 minutes rest after each 30 mins study session. This will help you to remember faster. Try to be more creative. Imagine or create pictures or logo to help you to remember fast. Check any unknown words from the dictionary so that you fully understand it. Don’t just memorise without understanding. You must know in depth what the notes are about from front to back. Be confident in yourself. Tell you subconcious mind that you are able to do it and it is not a difficult task at all. remember take rest. Be happy! Do not stress up. Do the best you can. wish you good luck!

It’s very difficult to retain pages of notes. What you can do is rewrite the most important information on index cards. This is a good study tool. You are leaning as you rewrite and you are looking at the most important information.Then you can always go back to them to review. It may take a while in the beginning but it pays off in the end. Good luck….

yea well im a senior at highschool 17, yrs old…well for u…all i can say is to try and skim read, pick out the most important details and write them down, for later u wont forget them. i go 2 a continuation high school, so im not the smartest, but take my advice, if u skim read all the important stuff and take notes every know n again on the page, im sure u’ll do fine, just relax its all good, well hopefully u do good with it and good luck =)

Is it possible to drop a class or two? If this is a 10 credit class, that is basically a full load right there. That’s what I would do, anyhow, if I were allowed–just take that one class by itself.
