Start Studying a Week Before Your Test
Procrastination means deferring or delaying an action for later. Almost everyone does this when doing a homework, term paper and studying for an exam. We want to save studying for later because we always think that it is best to study a day or two before the exam.
Cramming won't do you any good because your brain cannot process sudden intake of information all at the same time. In fact, if you cram you will not remember anything that you have studied because the key to an effective studying is repetitive reading and going at it over and over again. You can even rewrite what you have studied because this will really help in your memory retention. So studying a week before the test is recommended so that you can really review what you are studying.
Naturally if you study just a day or two before the test you would be forced to study longer hours. It is recommended that you should not study for more than 6 hours a day and you should include five minute breaks when studying. Studying longer will stress you out and a stressful person cannot effectively study. By constantly phasing your time you can easily study without being stressed out.
Studying a week before the test gives you the ample time to review what you have already studied. As mentioned earlier, you have to reread everything that you have studied to make sure that you did not forget anything. It is highly doubtful that you can still manage to review what you have studied if you are cramming for the test.
So if your test is near and you want to get a high grade then you have to start studying at least a week before the test. A relaxed mind is the perfect sponge to absorb all the things that you are going to review.
