Do you have any good tips as far as studying is concerned for a girl with college-exams coming up in 3 weeks?

Q. Any appropriate advice you could give me will be appreciated .

A. Don't pull an all-nighter the night before the exam. Many people think that doing that will make them do better on the exam but it actually doesn't because you are so tired that you can't concentrate and often forget much of what you spent all night studying.

Study a bit every day during the next three weeks. That way, you'll put what you're studying into long-term memory and you won't get burnt out.

One of the best way to relax is to simply do something that you enjoy. DO something that is completely unrelated to what you're studying.

Depending on the class, flashcards work really well. I also find it helpful to type out review sheets instead of trying to read something handwritten. It also works well if you can get someone to ask you questions about the given subject.
