How did you learn the letters A, B, C, and D? Are you able to read it? It sounds so simple, don't you think? That suggests that someone probably taught you, and you then put what you learned into practice. In a similar vein, you can learn how to study. The process of learning to study is very similar. Nobody is born with the ability to learn. A few study techniques must be learned, then put into practice.
Why improve your study techniques? You will find it simpler to learn and perform well in class as a result, particularly when you advance to middle and high school.
Here are six steps for more intelligent study:
- Attend class and pay attention.
- Make thorough notes.
- Prepare in advance for projects and tests.
- Take it apart. (If there is a lot you need to learn, divide it up into manageable bits.)
- When you're stuck, ask for assistance.
- Get some rest tonight!
1. Attend class and pay attention: Effective studying begins in the classroom.
Here's a quiz question for you: Did you realize that you've already started studying before you even start? Huh? What we mean is this. You begin learning and studying when you pay attention in class and take thorough notes.
Do you find it difficult to concentrate in class? Do you have a noisy neighbor nearby? Is the board difficult to see? Make sure you're in a comfortable seat that allows you to concentrate. Any issues that are stopping you from paying attention and taking thorough notes should be brought up with your teacher or parents.
2. Make thorough notes: Excellent notes make studying easier.
Having trouble taking notes? Start by jotting down details that your teacher brings up in class or writes on the board. To make it easier to read your notes afterwards, try your best to write clearly. Organizing your papers, quizzes, and notes by subject is also a smart idea.
3. Prepare in advance for projects and tests
It won't be a nice homework night if you wait until Thursday to study for your test on Friday. It also makes doing your best difficult. We're all guilty of procrastinating occasionally. Making a strategy in advance is one of the finest strategies to make sure that doesn't occur.
Write down the dates of your tests and due dates for your assignments on a cool calendar (something you enjoy and can keep by your desk or study space). Then, you can schedule how much time you'll spend on each topic and how much you'll do after school each day. Finding time to study is it difficult because of classes or extracurricular activities? Find out how to create a timetable of what to do when by asking your parents.
4. Split It Up!
Breaking things up into smaller pieces might be beneficial when there is a lot to learn. Consider an exam that includes 20 spelling words. Try splitting the words up into five-word pieces rather than trying to remember them all at once, and focus on one or two different chunks each night.
If anything eludes you the first time, don't worry. The key to this is practice. The longer you review something, the more probable it is that it will stay in your memory. You can also use mnemonic devices, commonly referred to as new-MON-iks, to aid in memory. Create a sentence using the first letter of each item on the list that you're trying to memorize. Are you, for instance, attempting to understand the eight planets' positions in relation to the sun? Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune come to mind when you hear the phrase My Very Wonderful Mother Just Served Us Nachos. You can get suggestions from your teacher as well.
Studying frequently rather than just the night before is another method to break it up. You can always go back and read through the chapters you're working on and your notes. You might also work on some practice problems if you're studying science or math.
How much homework should you complete each evening? You can work it out with the aid of your teacher. The average brain can focus for only around 45 minutes. Hence, if you've been working for a while and are having trouble focusing, consider taking a break for some water or a brisk stroll around the house. Simply resist the urge to mute the TV or take a break!
5. When you're stuck, ask for assistance.
If you don't comprehend the material, you can't study successfully. If you're unclear about anything, make sure to contact your teacher for clarification. By going over your notes, you can evaluate your performance. Is everything making sense? If not, request a review from your teacher. Your parents may be able to aid if you're home when the confusion strikes.
6. Get some rest tonight!
The test is tomorrow, and you've been studying according to your plan, but all of a sudden you can't remember anything, not even 2+2! Don't freak out. All the information you've given your brain to process needs some time. You'll be astonished by what returns to you in the morning if you try to get a good night's sleep.
