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 is to study away from your computer! I get distracted so easily and end up wasting time. I like to go to the library without my computer to get what I need done.
fold your notebook paper in half. on the right side, write down all the notes that you learn from the lecture. when you get home from your lecture, on the left side, write down questions and summaries of what you had learned in each part of the lecture. review the notes after class ends.
notecards- especially for art history. I would draw a sketch of a masterpiece on one side and then the date, artist, art period, country on the other side. It’s like really advanced flashcards and writing them all out helps them to stick in my brain.
Best way to study? Teach it to someone else! If you can get them to understand a concept, you get a better understanding of the subject.
dont stress! just study and get a good nights sleep
getting a good night’s rest after a long day of sitting down with the books!
group studying is also effective
My best study tip is to review your notes/reading for at least 10 minutes everyday before a test. Making flash cards to memorize the material also helps.
I like to rewrite and scan my notes every weekend.Then when it comes to exam period i’d study 2 days before my exams are due.
It’s worked for me countless times so i try to stick to it.
my favorite way of studying is note taking and reading out loud…I have a really good memory and repeating my notes to myself is a great way of remembering
I type up all of my notes on word, format them in outline form, and then copy and paste the outline into power point and make flash cards on power point. I also like to make flash cards out of the practice questions in the back of the book.
Pay attention in class and instead of writing exactly what the professor writes on the board, write your own version of it so that you understand it better instead of just reciting it back.
Classical music and siting in a corner with notes from class.
My best studying tip to play relaxing music, disable my facebook account, not go on youtube and tumblr, and make lots of flashcards!
Make it into a game! Study with a partner by making up flashcards and then have the partner quiz you. For each card you get right, give yourself a fun reward. For each card you get wrong, let your partner come up with a silly consequence.
my study tip is to make a catchy tune and to write the class notes again on my computer just so that I kind of remember better 🙂 hope that helps
For memorizing things I come up with funny or rhyming acronyms like “CRAP” for the design principles in my multimedia class!
