Advice: A school study tip of mine is when you need to study for an exam/test start studying
a few days in advance and figure out what you don’t know, from there study again the
next day working on what you don’t know and then on the final day go over everything
again and 9 times out of 10 you will be in a much better spot!

Advice: Throughout my time being here at Goucher I have learned a lot about studying and
one tip that I have for everyone is to study in increments and do not cram before a test. Cramming for a test puts
a lot of stress on the brain and prevents you from retaining any of the information
you are trying to remember.

Support Specialties: EC111, DMC 101, BUS 115
Advice: A study tip I would give is before studying for big quizzes and tests in classes,
write down everything you remember learning about in class on a scratch piece of paper.
It helps you be confident in what you already know.
