how do i do this

fill in the bank questions make me go crazy

i study

me sad me no graduate

How much time left?

Anyway, this is what I usually do before exams: Wake up at 7.00. No exceptions. Start studying. No food / coffee or other stuff, this is mainly because caffeine gets one agitated and food puts the digestive system to work, ergo, less blood to the brain. Water is ok. Do a 3 hour session to 10.00 with small breaks in between. At 10.00 go for a walk and have a nice meal and rest untill about ~13.00. Then do a session until 22.00 with small breaks in between. At 22.00 take another walk to cool down and relax and eat if you are hungry. Then when you come back, go through what you've done during the day, casually.

Go to bed and repeat.

This is how I study and with this method I managed to ace a ~1100 page exam with 6 days study time (as well as studying by heart about 200 regular parameter for medical stuff).

The exam was 1100 pages long or it was on 1100 pages of material?

1100 pages of material. The exam itself consisted of a first part where we had to interpret clinical values and set a diagnosis (30 questions). If we passed that we entered the big exam which had two parts: 10 randomly selected questions where we had to explain the physiology behind a pathology from A to Z then 50 multiple choice questions.

Ok, that seems less insane.

What subject?

Believe, it was insane as hell. Especially that I drank 3 Red Bulls before entering the first part and almost pissed on myself.

how much time ?

Anyone going to university should always start seeing a psychiatrist about anxiety the week they start and see them every month so that there is a paper trail to support your end of session anxiety that is just unbearable. Due dates are always moveable at least for your undergrad. And you can get retard time added for time sensitive tests.

Anyways, adderal and clonazapam and a pinch of seroquel can make you a study bot and provide the amount of sleep needed for consolidation.

I never used it for school but i've had to work on some projects that had a deadline and sleeping was often not a luxury. It only works in the short run tho.

Are you serious?

yup.

why not. I can tell you that everyone you know doing well used the rules to their advantage. Most people tend to only figure this out after school. Make your life easier and always make sure you have access to that retard card.

You know seroquel is an anti-psychotic right?

depends on the dosage. It is a dopamine serotonin antagonist. It is often prescribed for anxiety or sleep disorders.

This might be a shock but most medication dealing with issues relating to your field of study are not used for their invented purpose. SSRI's were first meant to treat anxiety but that didn't catch on so they switched the focus to depression. Kinda surprised this is news for you. I am rather confident there is not one field of study i probably don't know more than you including male prostate stimulation.
