i have a math exam tomorrow and im seriously afraid of failing because i will lose my credit and this is the second time going through this course. Any ideas on how to get through this exam with out being to nervous and helping me pass?
 
Have you heard of the cellulose-graphite method?
That is paper and pencil! I am very serious about that!
Let’s say that your test is on chapter one of the textbook. The using a pencil and a pad of paper go to the textbook. Now begin with the first worked out example in the chapter. Copy it exactly as it appears in the text. Do that for every example worked out in the text. When you have finished with the material, start over. Only this time use a blank page to cover up the solution. Try to guess what will come next. Then move the covering paper down one line at a time, each time try to guess or remember what comes next.

This is actually a proven method. It works
 
i have been doing review all day and probibly all night and its getting confusing now since i have been doing it for so long
 
Bring mints or gum to the test, they help ;)

Otherwise just sleep good the night before.
 
Keep in mind that the test is only one way of measuring oneself, if that is even possible. If you see it more like a game than a judgment, I think you will be able to adjust your psychological reaction to it.
 
For memorization, make your study time at least twice per day. Two of those times should be right before sleep and right after a good night's sleep.

A stiff drink of Canadian Club :idea:
 
Mints are supposed to help, also have something in your other hand... it's supposed to help keep both parts of your brain working instead of just your dominant side.
