concerns the effect of worry on the mind. But work counts too. On the marking system of E upward to A, if we take our ease we shall get E's and not A's. Ease and E's go together.
The chief requirements of proper study for this specific purpose of "making good" on exams. may be divided into three parts. (1) The entire necessity for conscientious, thoughtful study; for an adequate amount of real study with the attention complete. It seems surprising that students do not effectively take for granted this matter of plain common sense. (2) The keeping of our notes posted up daily in the brain, and thus everything we learn integrated with the preceding acquirements. If we have taken no notes, we should begin to make some from our lectures and our textbooks, and from our memory, for these will certainly be better than anything else for this examination purpose. (3) To get a good examination mark, we should have somehow a weekly or at least a monthly review, because, as we have seen already, review is the chief means to the integration of any subject in our minds. Notes should be kept on the analytic plan of complexes or symbols which have been already explained, headings, subheadings, and so on, on rational systematic lines.
