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 flashcards. If there are practice
problems or online assignments or old tests, I use those to help me study for
the tests well. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards so that I have
them for the next test or a final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool.
The key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous times-spaced
rehearsal. 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 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 that song.
Learning and remembering is like playing the piano-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 the 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 form studying and learning.
