Write the aim at the top and then chain the big steps with arrows and theorem names. Leave blanks for heavy algebra and fill them the same day. Ten minutes of cleanup beats an hour later. You got this.

Oh sure and dropping a class to save your GPA sounds like a brilliant plan. You'll just magically make up those credits later without any hassle. And that withdrawal on your transcript? Totally invisible to grad schools. Yeah, push graduation back and rack up more tuition debt, what could go wrong. Sounds like you're already nailing this adulting thing.

Switching to a tablet made my notes searchable and organized & totally worth it despite the charging hassle.

I used to freak out about cramming for exams and but then I tried breaking it down into daily chunks. First, list all the key topics from the syllabus. Spend the first day reviewing notes and identifying weak areas. That way, you focus on what's important. Next, allocate two days for in-depth study of those weak spots. Use active recall techniques, like flashcards or teaching the material to yourself. Practice problems if it's a subject like math or science. By day four, start mixing in review of stronger areas to keep everything fresh. Finally, the last two days should be for full practice exams under timed conditions. Review mistakes immediately. Get good sleep each night. it helps retention. This method got me through my finals without pulling all-nighters.

Do spaced repetition daily; ditch everything else.
