Effective Study Methods

Part 2

My time manegment secret:My secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I do not have to run errands or hang out with friends even. Each minute of each day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is to write everything down. I mean everything. I write down if I am going to mail people, write letters, or study. It works for me to have a planner that goes by the day and shows me what I am going to be doing every day. Knowing what I have to do everyday helps me plan out my week and my days. If I know that I don’t have time on Tuesday, I will try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. I plan ahead, especially if I bring my books and read on the bus /plane/hotel room. Missing class is killer to make up from, but if you are upfront with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turn things in late or not being in classes

 Effective Study Method

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. If you forgot 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, its mandatory that you repeat over and over the thing you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking, “oh, no, repeating something.” You need to get use to 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 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.
