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 study tip is to read all the notes i took that week over the weekend. therefore, i’ll understand the subject better, and i’ll already know some of it come exam time 🙂
My study tip is to rewrite notes!
For me, the notes I take in class tend to be very messy and unorganized. I like to go to the library with my notes and any materials related to that subject, and rewrite my notes onto a clean notebook, in pen (it looks nicer in pen!). That way, I can review the lecture’s notes while organizing also. It helps me find my notes easier when exam time comes near.
What helps me study is having friends but not just friends you like but those that are productive and will keep you in check if you start getting distracted. Even if it’s for a science class where discussion isn’t a HUGE thing, going through problems together works great; you get to see different/easier methods. Also, I like studying with white noise in the background and with naps every now and then. It doesn’t help studying while you’re exhausted because none of the information will be retained through the morning.
I use different colored index cards to catetgorize information and then quiz myself for twenty minutes at a time. Then I take a break and start back up again. I think it is very important to remember to take breaks when you study!
I’m in nursing school, and my motto is “know everything about everything.” That’s the only way to make sure you’ll do good! In order to do this I listen to Pandora and read through the notes very thoroughly, with coffee and snacks on hand!!
What helps me to study is having a “study tunes” playlist – but beware, this playlist is no ordinary playlist consisting of Lady Gaga and Mayday Parade! My study tunes playlist is all instrumental – the music can be classical, but instrumental (preferably piano) versions of my favorite songs work just as well too!
The best study tip is to study every day and not cram.
For me the best studying tip is a full night of sleep mixed with a 5 minute review before the the test. 🙂
I’ve noticed that it helps a lot to move between different locations. Perhaps from the library to the coffee shop. I tend to study better when other people/noises are around.
After taking very thorough notes in class, I re-write my notes at home on loose-leaf paper, then type them on my computer in outline form. The outline is for the condensed version, and re-writing helps to reinforce what was said in class.
I listen to white noise and type up all of my handwritten the night before a test. The repetition of rewriting the notes helps me memorize all of the information.
I use flash cards! They help me big time!
This is so amazing!!
I like to make study sheets that outline the material in a condensed, simple format that is easy for me to understand.
