Build On What You Know
If you start by studying what you know and add more difficult or recent material as you proceed, you can associate new information with familiar material. Rather than taking on intimidating amounts of new information, this will ease you into a comprehensive review and ensure you don't forget basics. Check out more review principles here.

Make It Interesting
Just as it's harder to recall a list of 20 words than a 20-word sentence, it's harder to recall a list of boring facts than a story -- to help retain information, try to connect with whatever it is you're learning. Whether by using memory aids (like mnemonic devices) or making facts personal, bringing test material to life will make it much easier to remember.

Narcissistic students don’t mind cheating their way to the top

Narcissistic college students are more likely to cheat on tests, a new study reports.

According to Science Blog, narcissists are inclined to cheat because they want to show off academically -- and are able to bypass feeling guilty for their actions.
Narcissists really want to be admired by others, and you look good in college if you're getting good grades. They feel the need to maintain a positive self-image and they will sometimes set aside ethical concerns to get what they want.
Earlier this year, a study out of San Diego State University and the University of South Alabama found that narcissism was on the rise among college students.

Perhaps this explains why 600 University of Central Florida students were nabbed for cheating last month?
