You bet it’s the longest comment I’ve ever had! Unfortunately, my answer is going to be short in comparison because I only have 2 things to offer you as advice.

Firstly… you have an impossible timetable. You’re probably squeezing what would take the average person two years to do, into one year. Maybe you should consider spreading what you have to study over two years. The whole travel thing only adds to your problem.

Secondly… you must have a study system. Most students I talk to don’t have a study system. They only have a collection of unrelated study tips. Imagine your computer if it didn’t have an operating system like Windows. You’d never be able to use it efficiently if at all. The reason I developed my own study system is because I couldn’t find one. The hard work’s been done John and it’s there for you to follow.

Take care and I feel your pain…

I probably have the longest post in this page but I hope that you won’t be scared from reading it .
My problems are that I get very tired when I come home from school. I currently read 4 courses (which is one too many in our school system) in university where two of them I read in another city since the university is based in two cities. So I take the bus to the other city when I need to participate in lectures or labs. But when I take the bus to return back to home I feel so tired that I need to take a nap that has endured as much as 4 hours which is enormously much. That time could I have used to study instead.

When I am home I also need to cook dinner in order to save money, do the laundry and take care of the dishes which too take some time.

During weeks people need my help to fix their computers and my parents wants me to visit them during the weekends since they also live in the same city as I do. And I have taken time to hang out with friends too.

We are doing computer labs right now in one of the courses and since those labs are taken place in the other city I am traveling to I need to work on my lab assignments on my own computer. But I have wasted a lot of time to get it work on my computer. I needed to go so far as installing a new operating system on my computer in order to manage to work on the lab assignments. Because of that I am behind of the time schedule and I need to fasten up the study effort quite a lot in order to demonstrate the lab assigments in time.

I don’t have time to everything, I feel that when I am studying material in one course I will lose time to study the material in the other courses. I am a bad planner, I haven’t taken time to write down model questions and answer as you have mentioned. Time just flies away during the breaks in school, you don’t have any time to reflect to the material, you just think of going to the next lecture room that is up ahead or even hurry up to the bus stop.

Procrastination is of course a problem for me, I feel anxious when I can’t solve a problem in the right way. Especially with the computer labs I feel a lot of pressure to solve them because these involve thing that I wish and are suppose to work on in the future when I apply for a job. And you just rather want to do other things like play a game or listen to music.

I hope that you can help in this moment because in three week I am going to have my first of three exams in October and I would appreciate your help a lot.

Best regards John.

It also sounds like you don’t have a good study system to process large amounts of information. Can you imagine trying to build a house without a plan. It’s the same with studying. You have to have plan otherwise you’ll experience the fear you mention and spend a lot of time just reading over the same study material without learning anything.

What if I could show you a way to convince yourself that you know everything you need to know to get A’s in all your exams? Well I believe I can so join my course to find out.

As I explain in How To Study Bootcamp, the main cause of anxiety is the ‘unknown’. You don’t know what’s in the exam and you don’t know what you know and what you don’t know. There is a way around this ‘fear of the unknow’ believe it or not, and it’s all in my course so I can’t explain it in depth here.

It also sounds like you need a disciplined study system that you can stick to and measure your progress every day. If you don’t have a system then you won’t know where and how to start studying. This is why you can’t bring yourself to make time.

Join my course and I’ll explain it all. If you don’t like the first 8 weeks you can get a refund or cancel any time.

Take care… Rob

If you have any tips that would be great! Thank you!

K my major problem is that i generally have a fear in the beginning of studying anything that i may not remember it and that its too much information. It takes a long time to simplify what i am reading to a small sentence so that i can take down points from a big chunk and read it later on. Then i do not know how should i revise those key points and remember them that these points should be under this topic. Finally i get so frustrated and discouraged.
