With school getting back into full swing, it’s no secret that we could all use a little boost in getting back into the daily grind. Studying, memorizing and presenting is not an easy feat for any of us, and memorizing pages of material for those dreaded exams is probably one of the most stressful parts of college.
In an effort to add a little fun to the memorization process, Coca-Cola has launched the Crammer Keeper, a free new online tool that turns notes into catchy tunes…helping you memorize your notes in a new and fun way. Users can select the voice, choose a track genre (hip hop, rock, etc.) and then download the song onto their computers and share with their classmates and friends. Might as well turn your boring notes into a hip hop single, right?
It gets better, though – to help spread the word around the launch of the Crammer Keeper, Coca-Cola is giving away an iPod Touch to one lucky CF reader! Read on for all the details on how to win!

My best study tip would be to split up the studying into increments, whether it’d be over the span of a few days or even just one day, it helps make it less overwhelming for me and easier to tackle.
I go to every class and take tons of notes. The day before the exam I usually sleep early… And I have a great meal during the morning. It works beautifully 🙂
Rewrite my notes and “teach” it to my friends. Rewriting my notes and rereading them helps with my memorization and explaining it to friends ensures I actually understand it.
My best study tip is to plan out your schedule, so that you know when you’ll be able to study and you want push it off until the last minute.
My best study tip is to use word or phrase associations to remember definitions or situations. Also curling up in the library with homemade peanut butter cookies and coffee help.
I make flash cards. I learn five of them until I know they all very well. Then I’ll add five more to the pile until I know all of those. I do this until I know all of my flash cards cold.
i rewrite all the notes in my own words that way its easier for me to understand. i also try to keep up with each lecture so that i don’t have to cram 🙂
My best study tip is stay hydrated and healthy by eating regularly and exercising after a study session to relieve the stress.
My study routine is to immerse myself into my materials, read it, write it down, listen to it. I take notes whenever I am studying, and that helps me to retain more information.
I like to head to the library about a week and a half before a major exam. There, I walk through each chapter, re-reading my notes and working through problems. After that day of chapters, I like to read a little each night, and wake up on test day ready to receive an A+!
The best study tip is to use brightly colored flashcards (because they get you excited about studying) and practice, practice, practice!
I listen to the same playlist while studying for an exam, the repetition helps me memorize better. I always eat a good meal before my exam, and spend at least 30 minutes the night before to just relax, like paint my nails, or catch up on one of my shows – it helps drive away pre-exam jitters!
I always try to have someone in every class that I can talk to in case there is something I don’t understand or need clarified. If there is something that they don’t understand, I try to help them back. Usually I can just call up that person while I am studying and ask them my questions.
I rewrite my notes. I’ve been doing this for awhile now and it works out great.
Study a little bit at a time every night
My study tip is a simple one:
Don’t stress. If you have to choose between sleep and study, choose sleep. The more you worry, the less you learn, and I’d rather be well-rested for a test than so tired I’m falling asleep in my desk–even if I studied all night.
Hakuna Matata, and all that.
