Ok, george82 here is more help!
You know times in you life when you were afraid and steel done it, you have to do this time. You are afraid because you don’t want to fail; when you start studying, you’ll feel better.
You know that leaning is everyday process, however there is a lot that you steel can do. And week is a lot of time you could do it if you work at it.
Separate each part of your life. (When you studying stop any thought that doesn’t relate to learning)
Identify how you spend (ed) every 15 min in a day. Then take out everything that not important/ not priority.
Brake down whole things into small steps. Write outline of what you need to do, and put check when you done it.
Reword your self after learning part (let your self have what ever you do for fun now, ex: eating treat, music, forum, and friends)
Plan how to multitask (ex: when you have free spots –bus stops, short brakes get out your notes, or flash cards {which you don’t have to buy just cut any paper and write term and answer on other side), or tape{you can record your notes, or read out loud chapter and listen when you ride car.).
In your books, put square around all: Terms, Names, Dates, facts and underline with wavy line explanation or write them out in as notes or on flashcards. Put prentices around examples. In your short words write summary on margins.
If you run out of time, read summaries. Read intro and conclusion. Read first and last sentence of paragraph because that where main ideas can be stated and summarized
Acronyms take first letter of terms and make it into a word.
Also terms that hard to remember find words that sounds alike or remind you of you term and then try to connect meaning of the term with term’s name. (ex: bygsor {means men’s trousers in Swedish) so this word can remind you of boxer, big sore etc. (anything that sounds alike/reminds) then you connect big sore in trousers, or boxer in trousers.) Read Supper memory super student by Harry Lorayne when you get the chance it really can make you remember anything in a easy way.
On the test: to calm down breath deeply, and tense and relax your muscles.
Write down things you afraid that you will forget.
If you have to guess in multi choice (first tern statement into question and see what you know) a) if two alike pick one, but if they carry the same meaning they both wrong b) if there are opposite pick one c) aim at middle d) Absolutes as –always, all, never, usually wrong. Do easy ones first and then come back to hard ones. Divide time you get on number of questions you have. (usually it’s 30 sec) try to keep up.
Good luck.
