Are you actually called SAM? Or is it just a made up name by some admin at the SQA?

Oh god... 2 exclamation marks in one post... :sexface: I love it when Sam shouts at me... a little flustered now :colondollar: :coma:
Study tips No 2: It's better to understand that to remember. (And never put exclamation marks on posts. It flusters Pedrobear and nobody wants that! Oops!)

Of course I'm called SAM - though my friends call me something quite different.
SAM's Study tips No 3: Plan your work, but remember planning it doesn't mean you're doing it.
SAM's Study tips No 4: Going over work as soon as you learn it will reinforce it better than leaving it to revise at the last minute.
SAM's Study Tips No 5: You can never study too hard or too much - but you can study too long. Take a break - give your brain the chance to absorb what you've gone over, and recharge in preparation for taking on more info.
Study tips No 6: Know how the exam works - review previous and sample papers. Previous tests prepare you for the next one.

SAM's Study tips No 7: RTQ. ATQ. (I've left the "F" out of these as I am a lady). Personally I found this to be the most useful advice I ever got.
SAM's Study tips No 8: Don't be late. Do be prepared - pen, check; pencil, check; calculator, check; lucky Yoda action figure, check...

SAM's Study tips No 9: If you like to study to music, listen to something familiar - it'll put you in a more positive frame of mind. Also go for something that soothes the mind. Sigur Ros rather than Slipknot. I'd also avoid Katy Perry, but that's nothing to do with studying...
good god. that time again. :cry:

Imagine how I feel! Actually I love it. Does that make me a bad person?
