I have to study for this major exam and there's so much material but relatively few questions. How do you study for an exam that covers material you haven't learned or haven't used in years?

I never really studied in college, simply because I learn best by listening to the professor and was just able to retain information that way. I can't do that for this exam, so I'm asking for advice.

Honestly, this may not be helpful, but read your textbooks.

Read the information helps to connect it together (at least it did for me) which makes it easier to remember since it's all thread together.

When you read the text, I retain it similar to how I do the plot of a story. So because it's connected in my mind, I'll have something to write down even if I can't remember the precise thing the question is asking.

Reading notes is too broken up for me.

This is, of course, presuming you have textbooks.

Reading through all of the textbooks would be incredibly timeconsuming (I think there's about 14 I would have to go through for the exam) but I do have a summarized reference manual.

Thanks for the advice!

I would suggest going through as many of the 14 textbooks as you can and skimming them for vocabulary, looking at questions at ends of chapters, chapter summaries or outlines, and etc. Even if you can't finish them all, you'll still have done a significant amount of studying.

thanks for the tip, I'm going to go through and at least pull out the important equations and notes since I'm allowed to bring in as much as I can carry.

One thing I learnt from a professor to get a quick overview was to just look at headlines and subheadlines and see if there are any words that are italicized or bolded in the text, and then write them all down. This way you can get an overview over the main things, and also see what you know and what you need to study more. You can also just take a look at the list of content to, again, just get a quick overview. The efficiency of this method varies very much though, depending on the textbook, but when it works I find it works really well for me at least.

Good luck on your exam!

Thanks, this helps me to narrow it down a bit. I'm also doing sample problems but there's hundreds of sample problems and there are only 80 questions on the exam.

If specifically hearing it is what helps, you could read aloud or ask someone to read it to you.

haha, I also feel like that would be the perfect way to fall asleep, the subject matter isn't exactly the most interesting.

"How do you study for an exam that covers material you haven't learned or haven't used in years?"

How much time do you have to study? Because the only answer to that is to go over everything and learn it. :(

I have 6 weeks from now and I'm taking a review class but there's still just a multitude amount of information that isn't covered.

Thanks!

Find out what kind of answers the prof prefers, ask the previous years students. Have Mozart on a background.)

It's a licensing exam that's all multiple choice so the answers are either right or wrong, which makes it all the more challenging.

Good luck with the exam!

Are there any practice tests or mock exams you can take?

I've been working through sample problems and the solutions but I feel just overwhelmed.

Luckily, you are allowed to take as much in as you want, as long as it is bound, so I can jot notes down, it's just a ton of information to retain for one day basically.

Late reply but hoping you have notifs on - go through and reread as much as you can, but here's the key - quiz yourself on various concepts before you read ahead in the text, then see if you got it right. Basically, if you can repeat back and understand the concept without the text, you're laughing. Six weeks should be just enough time to do that in. Start with, frex, the vocabulary word of one concept, then write out from memory everything you can recall about it, check your work, and rewrite any parts you've missed.

Got me through my certs, anyway.

Thanks, I'll try this too. I'm just overwhelmed with the information I need and realizing how much of it I am learning for this one test that I will legitimately never use again.
