Life changing exam tomorrow, no motivation to study

Tomorrow is my history prelim. I know what you're thinking, how can a prelim be life changing. Well, I am currently doing the minimum amount of subjects allowed in my school, which is four. If you fail a prelim, you get kicked off that course. Therefore, if I fail this one prelim, I get kicked off of history, bringing me down to three subjects, therefore I get kicked out of school. Right? So, history prelim in less than ten hours (I'm in UK) and yet here I am, not knowing anything, and yet with absolutely no willpower to get off my ass and study. I should have studied earlier but I left it all to the last minute, there's no way I'll get through the entire course in hour before I go to bed. By off chance, does anyone have any good, quick, easy methods of studying, which I could use to easily memorise facts before tomorrow? Thanks in advance

        • Eh? When did they start kicking people out of classes for failing prelims? Prelims, in my day, were pre-exam examinations used to give you an indication as to what to expect in the final exam, and should you completely -blam!- up on the final exam, your prelim score would be taken instead.

          • Ok: what are most likely questions? Topic headings done on course, pick two, then pick something specific in the two they'll definitely ask. Like what's the course? If it's hitler, they'll be like "how did he rise to power?" Or "what factors led to the night of long knives" K so you've picked two things from the course they'll ask (if you've done past papers, look in them, they'll ask basically the same questions) Now bullet point the important things so it looks like you know what happened, memorise those, write some things on your hand to remind you of them when you go in Then answer as best you can, you get loads of marks just for writing an essay properly with good grammar, don't spell hitlers name wrong, if you're not sure of something say "there's a great deal of debate around whatever, but I will focus on the bit I do know" but obvs don't say that Just write some shit, cross your fingers, if you fail say you were ill and ask to resit :)

                • Flashcards - but you should put school as your main priority. You have the rest of your life to lay in bed and play video games. Destiny isn't going anywhere anytime soon. You can take several months away from this lovely game to ensure you have top grades. Get your career down. Take that from a man who didn't - me. I failed on getting any valuable career and suffer for it all the time. I work as a salesman for luxury goods and live on commission. My take has been under my draw and I owe my company $700. I am having trouble paying my bills on top of child support. Don't follow my example fellow. Study, study and study some more. Get great grades and you will one day have more money and time on your hands to play any game you want anytime you want.

                      • Well, I dont have much advice. I rarely study. I usually do fine without it, so... But the way I remember stuff best is by reading through the material. All of it. Not skimming or pausing to take notes. Just reading. I will say though, dont stay up late trying to study. Youll screw yourself over since youre way less likely to remember or process info when youre tired.
