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 studying tips is to rewrite your notes into a study guide. It will help you remember it much better. Another is flash cards. For me I would recite the definition of the word then do it vice verse to make sure I know the words and definitions. I would also find a study buddy to help me out.
I keep all my class notes as documents for each chapter. I frequently create tables. I only print my notes if I feel the need to review them while at work…paper clipping them to a legal note pad is very inconspicuous.
My study tip that works for me is studying the weeks before but putting in extra time the day before then get a good sleep and it will be fresh in your mind the next day.
I always read my notes from class as I go through the term. It helps keep everything fresh in my mind.
Then when it comes to exam time, I make notecards and/or lists to help me memorize dates and definitions.
I always study the things I don’t understand. It’s better than filling your mind with things you already know. I love making acronyms as well.
Schedule in periods to study and relax. Prioritize and you’ll be less likely to scramble at the end.
I like to go over my notes carefully and before I go to bed I put them under my pillow. It’s silly, but I like to think it helps the information stick better haha, it hasn’t failed me yet!
I study best when I turn off all distractions (TV, the internet, my phone), and go over my lecture notes, teaching the material out loud to a wall. I don’t have to do this loudly, just mouthing it and “speaking” until I understand what I’m talking about really helps me do well on these tests.
My best study tip is to get with a group of friends while looking over old assignments. If there are any questions you can all figure it out (properly together).
My study tip is to take good notes from the teacher/book and review them thoroughly.
wow already so many comments!
my best study tip is simple, go somewhere quiet!
i cannot get any studying done in my dorm and must always go to the library 🙂
My hardest thing to study is Italian. I usually do the exercises in the book, to sort of familiarize myself with the terms and grammar, and then make flashcards and do them, first Italian to English than English to Italian.
I just read and read again!
I use a timer when I study. I set it for 30 minutes, and I don’t let myself get up for a break or check the internet until the time goes off. After I take a break, I sit down and set the timer again. it really helps me focus!
Learning the information little by little by little is the best thing for me! That and a quiet environment!
Find a friend who needs help in the subject and set aside a time to study together. Explaining something to someone else helps you really understand something well – you both win!
