Early Bird Does NOT Get D' Worm

I'll keep this short... if you're an early bird and are taking either one of the summer exams, try to head to bed a bit LATER these next few nights. Reason being... things don't kick off (on exam day) until 1pm, so being bright-eyed and bushy-tailed (at 8am) won't work this time around.

Hey Hamaseh, I take gym classes like TRX & Bootcamp weekly. Swimming is a great precursor to weight training -which I try to do at least twice a week. If you didn't have asthma, I'd say try heavy rope training, but Rip Trainer is a great substitute -both will get your heart rate up while helping you strength train at the same time. Mornings when I exercise/hit the gym help me get focused, and nights help me blow off steam. Hope this all helps!

I'm in the same boat as you, so I salute your coming forward with this. One thing I'd like to add to this thread is diet and exercise. I've got 74 days left to my test, so I've decided to make a healthy diet and daily exercise a commitment for the next two and half months -in hopes that that will assist my mental stamina, memory, and effectiveness come test day.

Money/prestige aside, what would guys say if the most important thing you wanted after graduation is a degree that travels well? In other words... let's say you could go to a school which ranks 25-30 (with little to no debt) vs a T5 school (with a whole lotta debt), which one would you pick -with respects to feeling like your job prospects nationwide (possibly beyond) would be greatest? Yeah I'm guessing T5, but I'd still like to know what you all think -thanks!

Good for you. Many people without learning disorders and disabilities have no idea about the day to day struggles others go through. Like 2pac said "keep your head up".

Piggy-backing off what others said, repetition and looking words up goes a long way. As a lit major I had to read text like Sir Gawain and The Green Knight, The Tempest, etcetera where the words were written differently and had different meanings from what they mean today. Long & short of it, I started reading those text with greater ease with time and effort.

Thank you two for taking the time to lend a hand. Since I feel the need to form a system specifically for RC, I intend on coming up with something simple through dutiful RC practice. I still haven't figured what helps and what's wasting, but I hope to get there sooner than later.

I've never been a good note taker or for that matter known what to do with a highlighter, so I'm reaching out to you guys/gals to see if those of you better at this than I am could lend a hand? Sharing any techniques, or methods is more than welcome. In other words, I'd like to hear your personal style of doing things (i.e. color coordinating, brackets, etc.) in hopes that I could incorporate it into my own mode of attacking reading comprehension. Thanks everyone!

When to use 4 wrong = 1right strategy?

Hey guys/gals,

I was wondering if you might be able to lend a hand? Can anyone tell me when it's most prudent (with respects to sacrificing time) to use the 4 wrongs make it right formula? Are there question stems worded in ways (i.e. must be true, etc.) that would alert you to this, or are there specific questions types (i.e. parallel, etc.) that should signal using this approach?

Thanks!

Trust me... splurge on a therapeutic massage the day before, and tell'em to focus on your neck and back.
