I wonder if the question/answer/key ideas method works in every case. Actually I can’t really apply it, because in my exams often not only the key ideas are relevant, but rather details are the core of the exam. Unfortunatly even the lectures rarely match for this technique. Maybe this is because of the structure of German courses (they probably tend to love every nut, bolt and screw sometimes). I.e. I attend the lecture “comparative politics”. And we actually go through different types of democratic (and non-democratic) systems. Look at different countries etc.. There are no real cores or big key ideas. It’s just tables, tables tables and so on. You just can’t apply this method there, at least I couldn’t find a way to do so. This leads to simple rote review. Even though I have to say, I rarely do any intense cramming or rote review (and this leads to habit #2), because if you attend class regulary there is just so much less need to cram because you memorized so much just due listening in the lecture (this premises that you don’t sleep during the lecture).

I think studying without a plan is one of the most common mistakes that any student can make. They feel as though they have achieved a lot afterwards, but they could’ve done so much more. Smart studying for a shorter period of time is much more effective than general studying for long periods.
