Get Motivated to
Study for Exams
Twilight Style!
Want to be as confident as Rosalie?
• Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right! – Don’t let negative thoughts about an
exam get to you, positivity is the key. – Put in your best effort, if you’ve done
everything you can, you’ll feel good about writing your exam!
– Believe in yourself! You`re smart! You`re in University! And YOU can DO THIS!!!
How can you be as on top of things like Carlisle?
• Manage your time wisely– Cramming rarely helps anyone, start studying
well in advance. Daily reviews are great!– Take study breaks!!! Chat with friends, go for
coffee, check your facebook, do anything that’ll take your mind off of the dreaded final.
– Use an agenda to organize your school work and social life, to avoid scheduling conflicts.
– Take some much needed “YOU” time.
Want to be as focused as Edward?
• Study in a quiet place, with few distractions
• Choose a time you know works for you• Avoid studying when hungry or tired• Multitasking with studying = bad plan• Break large tasks into smaller ones• Try to relax• Keep the worries out of your head,
thoughts can be distracting
Need Alice to foresee your study future?
• Study methods:–Make Flashcards– Talk through notes with classmates– Go through readings/notes and create
sample questions you think might be asked
– Have group discussions– Summarize notes/readings to better
understand them
Is procrastination your middle name like Bella?
• Keep yourself motivated• Prioritize tasks• Reward yourself when a task is
completed• Create a study group• Set reasonable standards• Work on the most unpleasant task first• Don’t wear yourself down
Need Jasper to calm down your test anxiety?
• Use good study techniques to master the subject
• Don’t psych yourself out!• Sleep well and eat before the exam• Relax during the test• Don’t worry about students finishing
before you• Once your test is written, stop worrying
about it. What’s done is done.
Need some guidance as to where the treaty lines are?
(aka study spaces?)• The Killam (atrium, study commons and
stacks)• The McCain (fireplace lounges & work
area in the back)• Newcombe Study Lounges• Shirreff Hall Cafeteria • Cobourg Coffee, Second Cup, Starbucks
etc.
Need to keep your memory fresh, like Emmett?
• Make acronyms– Acronymic sentences are great too!
• Relate the things you’re studying to your every day life and visualize them (if possible)
• Use pegwords –Words that rhyme with numbers, great for
lists of things to remember, each word corresponds with one thing on your list
• Make Flashcards
