Use your time effectively

[Cynic]

Hypothetical situation: You are sitting for this exam a couple times already. Now you've gone through all the study manuals, done all the sample exams. What should you do from now until May? Do you

1) Stop studying. (Reason: anymore study time would damage your brain and make you more confused.)
2) Try to do all the problems that you couldn't do, even though those problems have rarely appeared on past exams. (Reason: you may get something out of this.)
3) Start going over the whole thing again, that is, redo all the problems and sample exams, even if you might not be able to finish them up. (Reason: the more you practice, the faster you get.)
4)???

4) Memorize more lists

2 and 3 if it's exam 1-5, 4 if its exam 6-9. :P

[Mick Fan]

Make up your own problems & do them.

Memorize more lists.

Go over readings that give you trouble.

This might not be what you were looking for but:

Suggestion 5) (assuming not exam 1 - 4)
Try to understand how the papers tie together and study the papers in a efficient order. NEAS for CAS anyway will give what this order may be.

This will make the material not seem as overwhelming. Also if a list doesn't make sense don't knock yourself out trying to memorize it. If it's on the exam those are points you don't get.

Become great at the areas which seem easy (easier?) and get maximum points on those questions and hope to get something on the others.

Just my opinion and what works for one may not work for all.

Good Luck

Memorize what would be considered an abstract of each paper, if you come upon a list you can't remember or a problem you can't do just write the absract.

Since the purpose of the exams seems to be have you memorized endless lists, this should get you more points than just trying to bs.
