Exam 1 Study Plan 1. Decide what you want to learn (and why) 2. Make an explicit plan: what, where, when (vary location). NO MARATHONS. Think training , not “working on.” 3. Transform content into tools 1. Flash cards 2. Open-ended questions 3. “Draw a … ” exercises 4. AVOID RE-READING, most of the time Exam 1 Study Plan 5. Avoid “the groove” (or fluency ) – Interleave topics within psychology – Interleave psychology with other subjects 6. Do not confuse interleaving with multi-tasking 7. Think VERY hard about using a computer (unless it contains tools): when in doubt, don’t. 2
