Wow. The school I go to, it ends on June 17 -__________-
Lucky others, they go to summer break 2 weeks earlier
Anyway I don't know why I'm stressed for my finals, mostly for health :(. Idk why health is an extremely easy subject, first semester I got an A and now I have a C :/. Do any of you awesome PLers (or retired PLers) know a good way to memorize facts and vocab? I think it's me because I don't study the right way
So I just need advice on how to study lol, any tips? (or review in this case because they're the FINALS)

facts and vocab... maybe it's just me, but i just sit through class at 50% attention rate and get most of my facts through absorption. 1 day-20 minutes before a test (depending on difficulty) i study from a textbook by reading through sections, looking at important words, making connections.
short term memory is POWERFUL, just make sure not to forget it before you use it lol

i had the same problem, usually, we'd have those tests in pe and i never pay attention, and i would get B's on the test...even after studying 10 minutes before the test...usually, i try making connections, maybe little tricks or something.
also, in language, I was really good, and would get all a's, but maybe right after starting PL. my grade has been dropping???anyways, i would get c's onn vocab test and that would bring me down. Language became the only subject I would study for...I'd make flashcards, link them to other words you already know, link them to experiences, use prefix and sufixes... thankfully, i pulled it up tp a low a for the quarter....
idk if its the way you study thats wrong, or maybe those tests just aren't your style or something

I find similarities between words and the descriptions, try to find ways to link of together, then they pop into my head quickly usually! It gets very repetitive when I study, but that's how it stays easy. I have my mom or a friend read off a word, and I try to guess the description. Over time I learn descriptions, and they stick into my head. Over time, I eventually remember em all in my head easily:) Good luck man!

Flash cards. Lots of em. Mnemonics are also helpful. Don't stress yourself out too much, and if you need a break, take one.
Good luck. :o
