I need to get a C and above in order for it to be acceptable for grad school otherwise I'd have to retake my whole course. Basically I need to score a 87% on my final test in order to get a C and above. My highest grade in the class is only a 68% in a test. So 87 is "out there". I studied 8 hours for this test and got a D-. When studying, I can usually memorize the placement / order for a specific question. Like definitions, if I see the definition I can match up the word. But hwen they give me the word or rephrase the definition or something that is not excatly as I studied, my memory just blank. What is the best way to study for a test? I'm adhd so if u are adhd and have your own personal learning style let me know.

Replies Koopsey Posted at 4:31 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 never memorize use logic and common sense Deviant Posted at 8:15 am on Nov. 18, 2008 For studying, I usually record my notes with my mp3 player and listen to myself talk about them over and over. That would depend on your style of learning though.
