My Test Taking Tips!

March 17, 2016

hey guys!

for these past few weeks I have been really feeling in control, maybe its because I finally have my classes down and I have been doing yoga every 2-3 times a week, but I think its because I am doing so well on recent assignments.  so today I wanted to share a post on tips for test taking and school on what I do to keep stress free and how I prepare for tests

lets get started:

so my test taking tips, recently I have been studying more in different ways.

I really enjoy looking at studyblrs, and if you don’t know what a “studyblr” is  its a tumblr blog that has notes and posts about school stuff that is just very picture worthy, here are some examples:

so recently I have been making studyblr inspired studied guides, they make me want be more organized, and they have really helped me to study better for my tests and quizzes, and they make me want to work harder.

another tip i have been using is with vocabulary:

I have been studying the 100 most used SAT words to prepare for my college tests that I am taking this summer. I know, I am only a sophomore and some people believe that starting testing before I even start junior year is crazy, but I want to do the best I can on those tests.

So, getting on with it, the vocab, I made a list and a calendar with all my words. I have been putting post it notes around my house at the places I look the most, my computer screen, my mirror, the fridge etc I have a few per week and this is actually a really smart way for me to learn my vocab word well.

I hope these tips help y’all, comment if you have any other helpful tips and if I like it enough I will add it to my list for studying!

thanks!

How to Get Focused for Finals

January 17, 2016

hey guys!

I have finals next week, as you may or may not know 🙂 but I had have recent problems with getting focused into the finals that I am studying for, so I am putting together some of my tips from last year, and my tips from this year to help you guys get focused for finals! here we go:

  1. Use Self Control to block Websites that Might Distract You: For example, I have now blocked Kate Spade, Netflix, Twitter, Instagram and Nordstrom from my computer so I don’t get distracted online browsing.
  2. Take A 10 Minute Break Between Every Hour: I don’t know what works for you guys, but 10 minute breaks work for me. In these breaks, I have a snack, paint my nails, organize something in my room or read a fun book (aka not school books!). But my suggestion is to NEVER take a nap in that 10 minutes, because your 10 minute break will become much longer.
  3. Use a Goal: My personal goal is to ace all of my finals, why? Because I want to buy myself a new pair of leggings, so all over my house I have printed out a picture of those leggings and are using them as inspiration to ace my finals, and if I don’t ace my finals I won’t buy myself the beautiful Black Sonar Tights from Athleta (personally their sonar leggings are the only ones I will buy from now on!)

I hope these few little tips helped you! Also if you have already taken finals what are tips you should suggest for me? Comment down below!

Thanks! xoxo
