Today we’re “starting with the end in mind” and talking about final exams–specifically, my favorite technique for studying throughout the semester so you ROCK your final exams!
This is a powerful technique that works for any subject and will serve you well throughout your life, whenever you want to learn and organize a big chunk of information.
Ready to dive in? Watch this five-minute and 55-second video to learn my absolute favorite anti-boring exam study technique:
Can you see how mighty a tool “hone it notes” are? Does it take some work to create them? Yes. Is that work exactly the kind of work you need to do to ensure you deeply understand and will remember what you’re learning? Absolutely!
So what do you think? Might you try creating hone it notes from a chapter you’ve studied or from a week’s worth of classroom lectures? If you do, I’d love to see what you create and hear what you think of the experience! Hit reply and share.
I know it’s early to be thinking about final exams, but the study techniques you implement NOW will make a big difference in how stressful exams are at the end of the semester. If you’d like MORE help in making sure you’re starting the semester off right, I have two opportunities for you!
