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 my study for
the test as well. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards so that I have
them for the next test or for the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning
tool. The key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous times-spaced
rehearsal. If you forget something, it is because you haven’t repeated it
enough times for n 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 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.

The better you can remember, the
more pleasure you obtain from studying and learning.
