Hello,
I have been studying fro 3 months now, I have been doing flashcards as I go but I have not practiced them as much as I would want to. Last week I sat down with all my flashcards and I realized that except for the ones I did within the last two weeks I can barely remember any content from the chapters I already reviewed. I am using Kaplan 7- book subject review, TBR for physics, EK for CARS, and Khan Academy, but apparently I am not retaining as much information as I need to. I have read some study plans where rereading chapters or going over them quickly is recommended. Should I regularly go back and reread what I have already read? I have also read that I should do more practice but I don't want to waste my section bank questions when I am still half way reviewing and I won't know most of the content. I already did the chapter specific questions as I was reading the chapters. What can I do to retain more information/ practice, I am struggling to devote time to the flashcards but I know they are imperative. I work full time and I am running out of time to study for the exam (June 29th) so sometimes I feel that if I am not reviewing a new chapter I am not moving forward but obviously I am not moving forward this way either. Also, should I only focus on my weakest subjects and leave the easiest ones for the end? For example, I took a diagnostic test and I got 126 fro psych/soc and I know that psych will not be an issue because that was my major so I think I only have to go over it and maybe relearn some terms and I should be ok, but I don't know if it would be a good idea to just ignore psych/soc until near the end of my review. Thoughts on this? I have a little more than 2 months to study, I am in chapter 7 out of 12 and I plan to start taking practice exams after that. Any suggestions on how to improve my productivity will be more than welcome.
Thanks in advance.
