Studying for Exams

     It's December, and the exams are slowly dawning upon us. I have already received my first mid-term exam study guide. I usually start my exam studying by freaking out, having a mental breakdown, have a warm cup of coffee, have another mental breakdown, and then I start actually studying. There are multiple different methods of studying for exams, but which one to choose? I personally usually study alone, but maybe I'll also explore new methods as I explain what ways of studying there are.
      First, there is the obvious method of studying by yourself. This is the most basic way of studying. There is the advantage of being able to focus on your work and be able to study for a long time, but you are unable to get help from others. You could always argue that you can get help from your parents, but let's be honest; unless your parents have a profession in something, they are usually clueless of your schoolwork. Then there is another way: holding a study group. Studying with your friends is great because you can get help and feedback from your peers and that you can study for a lot longer. However, it is possible to get easily distracted or get incorrect feedback from your friends. Also, there is the ultimate of method of late-night cramming. Basically, you do not study at all until the day before the exam, and then try and learn it all the night before the exams. Normally, you will be up very late, which can affect your conditions while testing the next day. I do not recommend this method, nor do I think anyone else will. So what is your favorite method of studying? If there is any that I did not address or your own personal ways of studying, leave it in the comment section of this blog. I would definitely like to hear your own opinions. As usual, thanks for reading.
