"I am a well-organized student and have devised a study plan that works very well for me. When preparing for a specific exam, I will map out the content I need to learn. Then, I divide that content over the days I have available to prepare. When creating a study calendar, I leave the final three days leading up to the exam to review the entire library of content. I am a big fan of study aids, as I believe they work much better than simply reading and re-reading the materials. Aids such as flashcards are also much more helpful than highlighting my notes. I also create practice problems and, when possible, will pair up with fellow students to test each other in written form or verbal lightning rounds. My approach has been successful so far, and it's reflected in my overall GPA. I am eager to continue this success while studying at the University of Missouri."
