overflowing to-do list

I managed to stick to my plan and finished calculus yesterday & did 1.5h of linear algebra this morning before heading to school for the religion study meeting. Ran into my math teacher in front of the building, chatted shortly and settled on next wednesday for a study meeting :) the religion study meeting was alright-ish; the others haven’t even started studying & I need to add a few things here and there. Because of that I did quite a lot of critical reading when I came home, part of it on Marx religion critique. Also updated both of my calendars, texted my tutor in regards to the shift planning and will now plan my to-dos for tomorrow :D more algebra & religion to follow.

religion final in 16 days, math final in 19 days

ultimate test prep checklist: the day before

a few years back, i made a checklist to help keep me on track for major testing days. it helped a lot, so just decided to share it!

☐ get at least 7 hours of sleep before your test. for teenagers, get at least 8-9 hours. make sure you don't oversleep, though; you can end up groggy on testing day. i've said this once and i'll say it again: good sleep is crucial for test scores. avoid stupid mistakes as much as possible.

☐ eat a healthy, nutritious breakfast. go for fruits, oats, eggs- whatever can keep you awake & alert throughout the day without making you crash from a sugar high.

☐ don't continue cramming on the night before. it sounds counterintuitive, but anything you do the night before will only make you more agitated the next day + won't even matter, since one day of studying doesn't make much difference. instead, focus on getting a good night's sleep.

☐ stay hydrated. don't underestimate how much hydration can affect your concentration. a general rule of thumb is to drink half your body weight in ounces.

☐ organize your materials. no one wants to show up on testing day and realize their calculator died. make sure you pack everything you need and might need (better be safe than sorry), including chargers, extra pencils, and your notes.

☐ always arrive five minutes early. you want to have time to set your materials up and have advance notice in case anything goes wrong. start your test on a good note.

☐ do a light review a few hours before. do not cram. just review your notes, go over the concepts in your brain. now is not the time to ask questions about concepts you're confused about.

☐ stay confident & calm. you got this! one test won't be the end of everything. remain calm throughout the test and DO NOT PANIC. panicking will make everything worse- stay calm and skip questions you don't understand. you can always go back to them afterwards.

and that's a wrap! hopefully you all found this useful.

i've also created a google docs you can print out, which can be accessed here:

Final Review (it is what it is🥲)

For those reasons I wrote before I wasn’t able to update as often as I do. However I’m trying to get myself back on track.

I didn’t even write about my last exam, Genetics. It went super well, I passed with a good grade at the first try. Me and my friends were super annoyed by this exam, it was easy to study but the exam was really difficult.

Now I’m reviewing Anatomy. 🫀🦴🩻

I know that with all that had happened these days it is difficult to remain focused, but still I decided to try the exam and not waste this opportunity.

So I took my ✨amazing✨ notes to repeat all the origins and insertions of muscles for the skeleton and muscles part. Then I’ll read a bit more the heart and blood circulation.

Good study to everyone 💕

POV : you find the best spot in the library ( I can see these beautiful trees from the windows and that’s the definition of best spot for me) 🌲

Also dermatology is giving a hard time these days 🙂‍↕️

2nd May - 10 Days until Finals

I studied for a long time but it wasn't very productive. I read one page over 3 times before it actually went in my head, then more time for making notes of it. It was so frustrating. I am already behind schedule and the days left for finals are going to be single digits from tmrw. Lets hope i don't die from anxiety till then..

I hope today is better :)

how to move forward after failing a test

remind yourself that this isn't the end. you will still have more chances in life, and this is only one test in the grand scheme of things. it will not determine the course of your life. this brings me on to my next point:

pick yourself up. don't be so harsh on yourself. you can cry on your bed and eat a tub of ice cream, but only for a day. life is too short (and breaks between tests are too brief) for you to worry about one test.

okay, now that you're feeling better:

record all the answers you got wrong in a separate notebook, with the solutions and why you got them wrong. also take pictures of your test if you can. even if you don't have a final exam, you should still do this step because concepts build up, esp. for math & science.

redo all the questions you got wrong until you can explain them to someone else confidently. pretty self-explanatory, but this is SUPER important.

ask for extra credit opportunities. some teachers will have some, others won't. some teachers even only give extra credit opportunities to kids who failed the test. it's always important to know this in the beginning of the semester, but better late than never.

if you can retake a test, RETAKE IT. most of the time your teacher will take the highest score of your two tests, so it's always worth it to retest, even just to solidify the material further.

ask your teacher for extra practice. definitely do this if you can! it's really worth it and rewarding to find your hard work pay off.

Let me know if there are others you can think of in the tags and make sure to check out my masterlist :D
