Effective Study Methods
Part 1
My test study method: When it comes
time 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 flashcard. 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 or final.
Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The key to remembering something is
to repeat it numerous times-spaced rehearsals, 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 playing a song in the piano the
better you become at playing the song. Learning and remembering is like playing
the piano the more you practice saying or doing it the better you can remember it,
Look now at what you remember. You remember because you have repeated it
numerous of times since first being exposed to it. So, practice rehearsing
those things you desire to remember, and they will stick with you.
Practice---à Proficiency-à-Pleasure
The better you remember, the more
pleasure you obtain from studying and learning.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!
