My method of studying is to take notes by hand in a notebook, and then, a few days or a few weeks before the test, I'll look them over and type them out. The act of typing them helps me remember them better. Sometimes I make timelines or tables so I get some practice reorganizing the information.

I'm a good test taker and a good student, but I really have trouble buckling down and studying. I can't study in a library and I really can't study in my room, so I usually end up going to a coffee shop or somewhere where I can use my laptop and get something to drink.

Does it work? Well, we'll see. I have a test in a week, and I confess I'm really worried. It's on a subject I've only been learning since January but which most of the students in the class have been learning their whole lives...
