Thread: How to improve studying ? ?

10-24-7 : It is the combination to your brain. Review new material frequently- 10 minutes after learning it (after class or right after school), 24 hours later go over it again, and then 7 days later give it another quick review. It sounds like a lot of work but it doesn't take long to give it a quick look over, and if you review in this way, the info will be locked in your brain. It's a lot easier than cramming the night before an exam!

Also when you study, or read from a textbook, make jot notes or use a highlighter to keep focused on the main points.

Teach someone else what you have learned- putting it into your own words to explain it to someone else is a surefire way to ensure that you understand a concept.

I have a reading comprehension problem so when studying for a written exam I have to read things over and over and over but I found a way to help and get it to stick
Rewrite my notes, read them aloud into a tape recorder, play the tape recorder back while reading your notes, then read your notes again,
you can simplify that by just rewriting your notes, reading them aloud once or twice (and don't forget slowly--never rush) and then to yourself

study when you are fresh not before going to bed

Drink some Amp

When I have to study for an interview, I will review the possible questions right before the interview and drink something with caffeine in it, like coffee or soda.
This really works.

personally i dont really study, i just try to focus in on the classes themselves, i get into the discussions and ask questions, then before tests i read over my notes.

heres my quote: "Don't Stress, Just Guess."

because normally if you stress on a question too much, youll get frustrated, your first idea, is usually your best bet.

Read books. Not comic books or fiction stories, but mythology, nonfiction, literature. It helps!

Actually yes. Humans tend to remember the first and last of everything better than anything else. So study in short bursts. Study for like ten or fifteen minutes and then stop for five. Then start again. The short burst system is actually pretty famous and I got it from this lame video my school made me watch on improving study tips.

Study naked! it works no joke.
