    That’s about six steps too many.

    Step 1 cram the night before the test

    There are no other steps.

      Step 2, spend 3 hours comparing your results with every person after the exam.

      Optional step: calculate the minimum score you need to pass, more applicable to those of us that had courses 70-100% of the final grade coming from the final exam.

    I got anxiety just from looking at this, and I graduated college two years ago already

    This seems a bit dystopian to me. If you have to spend weeks prepping for a test, the test isn’t tuned to the materials covered in class very well.

    I’m fascinated how British English uses “revise” where American English uses “study”. I wonder how this came about. In America, you would say “I’m studying for an exam”, but use “I’m revising my paper” to mean you already have a draft of the paper done and you are looking it over to make improvements.

      Oh, is that what it meant? I was confused about the “plan your revision” part. Apparently it specifically means “to study again”, so what we’d call “reviewing” in US English.

    A step it’s missing:

    * Contemplate your abysmal failure repeatedly for at least a week prior to the exam, rendering you completely incapable of all normal human functions

    Past experiences show I be able to get any sleep, and I won’t be able to have any breakfast. I may have started studied well before the two-week mark, and have overdone it so hard I will not perform at all on the exam day.

    Other than that, thank you!

    Time budget wise I’d allot myself an hour per page if doing a report, so long as I had all the research material on hand.
