Effective Study Methods
Part 1
My
test study method: When it comes to study for the test, I usually start 2-3
days before the test. I go through my notes and make flashcards on what was
important for those sections, paying special attention to what the teacher said
would be on the test if there was a review session. Also, I go through the book
and read the inset stories and add to my flashcards. If there are practice
problems or online assignments or old test, I use those to help me study for
the test as well. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards so that I have
them for the next test or the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The
key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous times-spaced rehearsal. If
you forget something, it is because you haven’t repeated it enough times for an
extended period of time. Repetition is a law of learning; therefore, to learn
and remember, to recall, it is mandatory that you repeat over and over the
things you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking “Oh, no, repeating
something.” you need to get used to it. For example, the more you practice a song
on a piano, the better you become at playing the song. Learning and remembering
is like playing the piano-the more you practice or doing it better you can
remember it. Look now at what you remember. You remember it because you have repeated
it numerous times since first being exposed to it. So, practice rehearsing
those things you desire to remember, and they will stick with you.
Practice-->Proficiency-->Pleasure
The
better you remember, the more pleasure you obtain from studying and learning.
Choose The Right!
