Someone at my work told me the BEST STUDY STRATEGY EVER. I got a 65 on my last quiz, and then I tried out this tip and I got a fucking 85 on the next one. Suck my dicko espanola 8)
I'm a pizza delivery driver on weekends, but you can do this, anyone who drives.
Write down flashcards of the info you need to memorize, and then when you drive just place it on your dashboard or whatever. Every couple minutes, switch the card for different material.
Also if you work with spanish people, talk to them in spanish using advanced, new grammar that you learned. Don't just yo estoy buen them over and over...
God finals suck! I've been cramming so hard.
Also pressure works. I had to crank out a 10 page paper a couple weeks ago in 7 hours when I realized I misread the syllabus. I also cranked out a 10 page paper in 2 days last week, only to find out that the due date was pushed a week back. 10 pages is nothing though. With a research paper if you need more info just start finding interesting quotes in your research material and figure out which paragraph of yours it fits into, or make a new one. Then for each piece of material you source, like a quotes or a fact that requires citation, you can write at least 2 sentences about how it relates to your thesis or proves your point or whatever.
Research papers are ezpz. The hard part is actually coming up with a concise thesis and how you will argue it.
