Whenever I had exams..I would study like crazy before but just before 2-3 days I would stop reading at all and let my mind at peace.
I would then take a totally imaginative perspective of the exam and believe I would make up what I have to write as answers from what I read earlier applying little more impromptue sense...
This was before engineering.
Weird but I liked that approach..I was scared of last minute readings. If I didn't do 5 chapters out of 10 and its already 2 days left, I would leave them anyways...
This doesn't sound like an engineering study schedule, does it? but still I have a degree to prove I am an engineer
Basically in engineering I had to reduce the 2-3 day buffer period to 2-3 hours as I started reading things lot lot later.
