Exam help

[Irene00]

The results on my exams are solid, but I know I can do better, but I guess I'm doing something wrong. Someone mentioned that I'm preparing wrong, so what does that mean? I study for week up until the last minutes before the exam. Is this wrong and is there a better way?

yeah, cramming right up to the exam often means you're not maximizing your brainpower. here are a couple of things you can do to study better.

first, do some active study. don't just read! Do practice problems, teach someone, make your own tests
and remember that you need breaks & sleep. retention is important. Step away, let your brain process

Ah, sleeping, my worst enemy during studying. I barely sleep when i have exam but now i get what you're saying. I don't give enough rest to my brain, that's why i feel very tired when doing the actual exam. Thanks for the advice, i'll definitely practice it in the future.
