Studying...

I am writing this on the eve of my first college exam, after having studied for nearly five hours straight. In a little less than 14 hours I will be in SC 134 taking my biology test. Before now, my idea of studying was reading over my notes the period before a test. Fifteen minutes tops of reviewing and I'd come out with A no problem. In college, however, everyone says that cramming won't work. Unfortunately, I don't know any other way to study. In high school, teachers told us pointblank what was and was not going to be on the test. In college, we aren't given this luxury. Somehow 4 chapters of biology are going to be condensed into a 66 question assessment. Yikes. Basically, I am employing every study tip I've ever heard, but never used before. Reading, going over practice questions, making flashcards, I've done it all and am still not very confident. This is a very unsettling experience for me because I am way outside of my comfort zone. Never before have I felt so unsure about what I know. Right now, I just want to get the test over with just so I know what it's like. Even if I get a poor grade, I just want it over so I know how to prepare better the next time. Ugh! I feel frazzled, scatterbrained, and in need of large amounts of caffeine. I want to study more, so I can feel more prepared, but I don't know what else there is for me to do. I've read everything, went over my notes a dozen times, and gone through my SI questions. Thankfully I have another SI session at 8 tonight. Hopefully it helps so I'm not up studying all night :S
