They say there's no way to survive a UPD hell week, but with the right study strategies, you can. Here are some tips to make your week a little less hellish, brought to you by UP JMA’s ever-studious and brainy members!
(1) Write It Down
Start early and go through the amount of coverage you need to study so you can gauge how long you need to prepare. Write all of it down, then lay out what you can do day by day! Working on things little by little can be more effective than cramming it all in a day.
(2) Social Media Cleanse
It helps some people to delete some of their apps during hell week to not let themselves get distracted! Don’t be scared to try it – all your social media will still be there when you’re done studying.
(3) Be a Hoarder
The Math building is one of the best places to buy blue books – they actually sell different blue books of different paper qualities for different price points!
(4) Keep Your Friends Close
Bo's is one of the best places to go with your study buddies (not sponsored but we will accept you, Bo's)! Close to school, WiFi, sockets, and motivation? What more do you need!
(5) Ask for Help
Whether it's a friend, or consulting with your prof, if you feel uneasy with a topic – that means you don't understand it. Try explaining the topic to someone else to see if you can truly grasp it!
(6) Get Creative
Use jingles, rhymes, acronyms, or anything funny that would help you remember your lessons!
