How long before exams do you start studying?

PLL · 2016-04-23 18:18:33

I would usually start 3 weeks before exams. Studying 2 modules per week. Then the days before the exam I would do a little more to finally refresh my brain and answer some past exam questions. However I'm hearing the norm is that people just think study week is when you study. And then just a quick read over their notes…

Depends I guess, I'm doing business (second year) and it's fine if I just study 2 weeks before , and still get 65+% in most exams even though there's 5 of them. It's mostly just writing about theories rather than remembering numbers and formulas, so it's not bad if you enjoy that kinda thing. I imagine in engineering/maths stuff it's a bit more study intensive however.
