By not spending the few minutes before an exam skimming over your notes or studying, you may not have a shot at being able to do well with cheating.   For essays, try to remember key words and points. Usually professors or teachers look for key words or important points; the essay's formal "fluff" is less important. If you know the topic or possible topics of an essay question, cram four to five terms or important points you know your professor will be looking for instead of studying everything, thereby reducing the effort required.  For math exams, try to memorise formulas. Knowing a formula can be more powerful that spending hours doing practice problems. If you can write down a formula enough to memorise it, then you can spend the test trying to apply those to the problems.  For multiple choice exams, try "chunking" information you know will be on the test. Instead of memorising a list of words, try breaking it into easier to remember smaller lists. For example, if studying for a history test, instead of remembering "Jefferson, Hamilton, Franklin, Washington, Grant, Lincoln, and Lee"  break it up into the "4 of the founding fathers: Franklin, Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton" and the "3 civil war leaders: Lee, Lincoln, Grant." By memorising the number of men to a specific topic, it'll be easier to narrow down who you are missing. Taking into consideration your current timetable, you can try to create your own study schedule.

One-sentence summary -- Try not to cram information last minute. Start studying earlier and more effectively for the next test.

Q: While the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack is gone, the traditional charging port--also known as the Lighting port-- is still at the bottom of your phone. You'll plug your Lightning headphones cable into this slot. These should fit into the Lightning port the same way your iPhone 5 or 6 charger does. Since Apple includes a set of headphones with every iPhone release, you'll want to test your headphones out to make sure they work properly. For best audio results, make sure the right headphone (marked with an "R") goes in your right ear, and vice versa. This will open your iTunes library. This should begin playback; if you can hear your music, you've successfully used headphones on your iPhone 7! If you can't hear anything in your headphones, try adjusting your phone's volume. There may also be a volume adjust panel on the headphones cord itself.
A: Locate your iPhone's Lightning port. Plug your headphones into the Lightning port. Place your headphones in your ears. Unlock your phone, then tap your "Music" app. Tap a song.

Article: Measure out each of the ingredients and put all of them into a large bowl. Use a fork or a spoon to mix everything together. The dough will be hard to mix after a few minutes, so you might want to ask for help from a parent, teacher, or older sibling.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Mix 3 cups of flour, 1 cup of salt, 1 cup of water, and 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of oil.

Problem: Article: Cover with water and bring to a simmer. Cook the potatoes until they are just done.  This will take about 20 minutes.   Stir them in and cook for a few minutes.             Occasionally turn them around with the slotted spoon so they brown evenly. Fry them until golden brown and crispy.     Drizzle some of the spicy sauce on top. Be careful not to drown them!
Summary: Put a pan over high heat. Add the potatoes. Remove them from the water and put them on a tray to cool. While they are cooling, add a little oil to the saucepan. Follow with the onions, garlic and the chillies. Add the wine, tomatoes, sugar, cumin, paprika and season with salt and pepper. Stir briefly and cook for 15–20 minutes more, until the liquid has been reduced by half. Remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. While that's cooling, slice a little from the bottom of one potato. Peel away the skin with your knife. Half the potato and slice into cubes. Repeat with the remaining two potatoes. Process the sauce by pouring the sauce into a blender and pulse a few times. Then blend on high speed until smooth. Add mayonnaise and blend until thoroughly combined. Pour the sauce into a bowl, cover with some plastic wrap and place into the fridge to chill. Heat the remaining oil in a pan (medium–medium-high). Add a small batch of the potatoes into the hot oil. Remove them from the pan and place onto a tray lined with paper towels to drain. Add another batch of potatoes and fry. Repeat until all the potatoes are fried. Season them with a little salt and pepper. Place the potatoes onto a serving plate. Your patatas bravas are ready to serve as a snack, or as an alternative spicy side dish! Finished.

Article: For many webcomics, this means having a good plot. Your webcomic doesn't have to have a plot, but having one will make it easier to come up with ideas and stay motivated.  Use tools like Monomyth and Act Structure to make sure that your story has good pacing and that your readers will be able to connect with the story. Choosing some themes and issues to cover can also help. Remember the most common writing advice: write what you know! It's good advice! This doesn't necessarily mean that you should only write about your life or make realistic fiction style stories. It just means that you'll usually write best when you write about overall experiences and emotions that you know about. Create some primary and secondary characters, if your comic will have regular characters. Draw a character sheet for them so that you're sure to stay consistent with their look. Then write yourself a "cheat sheet" of their character history, personality, flaws, and other details. Remember that characters that lean more heavily on the flawed side will give you more to work with as writer and develop over time. Balance is important, but you need to give yourself wiggle room! Write three or more test comics. They should incorporate all your main characters (if you have them) and be in the style you want your webcomic to be. Don't make it very quick and sketchy or very careful and precise if this isn't how all the comics will be done. The goal here is for you to get an idea about how long it takes you to make a comic and learn how you might streamline the process. You might end up deciding that you need a simpler style, less coloring, or other changes. Show them to your friends to review. If you don't think your friends will be a very reliable source, try to find a chat-room or some online friends to send them to. You'll want to understand what's good about your comics and what things you need to do to improve. Ask for a good amount of detailed feedback on them, not just an "I like it!" or "It's funny!".  Don't worry about catering to what every single person says. You want to deal with what the most common complaints are. Do people dislike your main character? Are your jokes funny? Is your drawing style a bit slapdash? Work on things like this before you complete your final comics. You'll want to have a regular schedule that you can update on and then stick to that schedule. This is so your readers will know when to come looking for a new strip. Having am irregular publishing schedule is a good way too lose your readers and deter new ones. An update schedule will also help motivate you to work on your comic, as working on it as a habit will help you overcome laziness and procrastination.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Create a compelling concept. Create your characters. Draw up a couple of test comics. Get some feedback. Decide on an update schedule.
