My study tip is to break up your study routine. Study a little in the morning, at lunch and after work. That why you are constantly learning but don’t overwhelm yourself with a ton of information.

My best study tip is to make sure you get in the habit of studying. They say it takes two weeks to turn something into a habit. If you can do this with studying you will be well on your way to succeeding on the exam. I know this may sound trivial but the more you can make studying seem less like a chore the better.

Also, take advantage of unexpected free time to get more studying in, like snow days!

STUDY SMART!!

Studying with the TV on in the background isn't studying… studying with the kids running around isn't studying…

Study in the environment similar to where you will be testing at (i.e. silence, in a room, studying on a desk/table, no music (I guess you can wear headphones (no music though!) since they do provide those at the testing center), no gum, etc). The familiarity you will feel mentally and physically will help during the exam.

Today, I became a cool kid.

My tip is to schedule, schedule, schedule. I scheduled my week every Saturday evening for the following week to help me stick to the studying schedule. I logged everything in my iPhone so I don't make plans for a time when I'm supposed to be studying.

My best advice is to create for yourself a calendar outlining when you will cover each topic and which weeks will be your review weeks. This will keep you on pace and will also help avoid getting overwhelmed by the large amount of material!

My best study advice, is to re-write things over and over and not type out notes when re-writing. I have found that I retain much more when I physically write things down instead of typing them.
