I am seeking tips for your best mid-term/finals study techniques.
I have read about many techniques for preparing for mid-terms or finals. However, none of them address a situation where there is short time to do it. My instructor gave us the list of chapters that will be covered in the mid-term only a week ago. She explained that it is to prevent cheating by not allowing enough time for students to "find out" what the questions for the exam will be.
Though I fully agree with her explanation, I still think giving such a short time is a challenge. The technique that I normally use (writing the key items 4 times in a row) takes a long time and cannot be really used.
So I ask the community - what successful techniques do you use to prepare for a mid-term or finals when you only have one week to review the list of chapters given by your instructor.
Note: I work and am home only a few hours daily. So reading 8 hours a day is not an option.
