Exam revisions – no reviews

Posted 17 December, 2012 by Linda @ (un)Conventional Bookworms in Uncategorized / 0 Comments

This week will be spent mainly on revising for my big Old English exam this Thursday. I have to be able to do a translation from Old English to modern English, decline verbs and nouns correctly in their paradigms (don’t worry, I had no idea what a paradigm was before I started this class!) and recognize vowel and consonant changes, as well as knowing the historical and literary background for a lot of medieval texts.

I had thought that I would be able to prepare some reviews in advance, but Christmas preparations, family stuff and other real life things happened, so there won’t be any reviews this week. I hope that won’t mean I will be blogging only for myself once I get back to reading and reviewing books on here… even if I would continue to do it anyway. I love having a place where I can keep track of what I read and what I thought of it – and where I can personalize it all a lot more than I can on any web-site.

How do you study for exams? Do you have a fail-safe method that helps you when you have lots of stuff to read in little time? Do you use imagery? Listen to a class online? Re-write your notes with only the important points? If you have something that could help me, I’d love to hear it! I know it’s a little last minute to really start revising the last week, but I have been busy during the whole semester, and I have been to all of the classes and done all my homework. (That last part was also to remind Santa I’ve been pretty good;) )

Enjoy this last week before the holidays 🙂 I will, too, after Thursday 10am 🙂
