My test study method: I have different strategies for different types of tests or subjects. For me, any type of math is exceptionally difficult so I had to spend extra time on that. I would go back through the homework problems focusing on the problem that I had extra difficulty on. Many times I would ask the teacher for any additional study materials they could provide.

My time management secret: I always, always, always carry a planner with me. I even use different color highlighters to show what each event on my calendar is for. For example, pink is personal, yellow is school, orange is work, blue is appointments, and green is for my sorority. although I use white out frequently, I can see in bright yellow that if I have that project for finance due on Tuesday, I need to start working on it on Wednesday so I can just get it done. My friends have always been amazed at how early I get things accomplished but that is really all I do.

How I deal with multiple project tests: when I have more than one test or project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test for 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of a project that I know will not take me very long. I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am in a crunch for time on a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other in the afternoon or at night. By breaking up the studying into different sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time more often for it to sink in.

My time management secret: my secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I do not have time to run errands or hang out with friends even. Each minute of each day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is to write everything down. I mean everything. I write down if I am going to email, write letters, or study. It works for me to have a planner that goes by the day and shows me what I am going to do every day. Knowing what I have to do every day helps me plan out my week and my days. If I know that I don’t have time on Tuesday, I will try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. I plan ahead, especially if I am going to be on the road for volleyball. When I am on the road, I bring my books and read on the bus/plane/hotel room. Missing classes killer to make up from, but if you are upfront with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turn things in late for not being in class.
