Effective study methods

Part 1

My test 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 is 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 flashcards. 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 flash cards so that I have them for the next test or for the final. Flashcards are marvelous learning tools. The key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous times-spaced rehearsal. If you forget something its because you haven’t repeated it enough for an extended period of time. Repetition is the law of learning; therefore, to learn and remember you must repeat it over and over the things you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking “oh no repeating something. For example the more you practice a piano the better you become at playing the piano. So practice rehearsing those you desire to remember and they will stick with you.

The better you remember, the more pleasure you obtain from study learning.
