College dudes: what's your "recipe" for success

[CollegeKid]

mine: large black coffee + 20mgs ritalin sublingually to get the studying going. and ALWAYS make sure to sleep at least 3hrs before an exam. also lotsa carbs to keep my brain workin. what do you all do for finals?

ritalin and hope that i studied enough through the semester so that by finals i could just say fuck it.

 

[louden_swain]

start studying 3 days prior to exam, a good diet, and plenty of rest.

 

[Cyclemein]

Actually going to class and buying the books.

2 xenadrines, 2 nyc, carbs for what you said, little sleep balance with an unhealthy dose of coffee, and note cards. They sound gay, but they help. Diet and workout go out the window for those two weeks. Study all day every day.

naps..

and studying with other people in my classes....

but it's easier when you major in Physical Therapy and Athletic Training....and the classes you are studying for are all related...
