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 flash cards 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 flash cards. If there are practice problems or online assignments or old tests, 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 next test or the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The key remembering something is to repeat it numerous times- spaced rehearsal. If you forget something it is because you haven’t repeated 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 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 the piano, the better you become at playing the piano-the more you practice saying or doing it the better you can 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.
