What is the best way to study in order to get superb results?

Question

Is it basically reciting or other techniques which can help????

Answer 1

The best way to learn is to make use of all three avenues by which learning occurs. Auditive, visual, tactile... (or touch)... When all three are present your efficiency is 100%.
Now, then...
If you read, that's one way - visual... if you read aloud, it's 2 way, and if you use the info right away it gets stabilized.
Use any methods available, rote memory, Acronyms, whatever works... quizzing a friend, having a friend quiz you, the more the better. Teaching that info to others... that's way study groups are best... when they actually do it... not fool around with other stuff.
One way to store info is by repetition. SOooo, if you don't have the study group available, read the material once thoroughly... and start there, even if things don't make sense at first. make sure you get through at least once.
Then read it again in a louder voice, as loud as you want to hear yourself. Then make an outline and organize the material. Usually, though in a learning situation, outlines are provided for you, so it's even better, you save time here... check the outline and add your own notes to it.
Highlight the concepts already understood. Mark the ones you need to keep on searching for...
Practice the stuff you already learned, this is the way you become an ace at it. Like if it's math... well the best way to learn math is solving the problems. That way whatever formulas you have to memorize, you get to learn them implicitly by using them... and save memorization time....
Good results are obtained from hard work, and it pays off.
Basically the law of neural synapses in the brain states that "if you don't use it , you lose it" or, The more you lose it, the less chances you have to lose it"...
The human brain is an amazing organ, it works best when it's used the most... hence the female brain.. hahahaha... jk.
Don't deprive yourself of anything to achieve best results. Not of sleep, not of good nutrition...etc.
Make sure your diet is abundant in nutrients and minerals and vitamins, especially Omega 3 rich foods, or supplements, which is known to improve the mental acuity, and energy and mood.
Believe it or not, a lot depends on healthy eating habits. Foods that are rich in fat are wearing you down, and put you to sleep instead of giving you energy and keeping you with it. Chose every food in moderation.. too much of a good thing is too much if it.
Exercise and stay healthy. Exercise will not only set your mood up high, because of the endorphins you get from it, but it will also keep your immune system strong to fight disease, and keep your brain active. Breathing exercises will refresh a weary bod.
I could go on... and on.... email me if you have more questions.

Answer 2

I used to take my notes and prepare sample questions and used this as a study guide. Seeing the information in a question format helped me assemble the information differently in my brain instead of reading through the notes.
It helps to know your teacher and the type of questions they usually ask. This may seem like a lot of extra work but for me it paid off. I can't guarantee the same for anyone else. I made very good grades and 100 on some tests. If you are in college and the book you are using has a study guide, it usually has these study questions already set up for each chapter. It more than pays for itself.

Answer 3

It depends on the class and on your personal learning style, but I've found two things help me the most: writing it down and telling someone else.

In American History, that was the best for writing it down. I'd take meticulous notes on everything she said, then I'd recopy them all the day before the test, but in sections: all the dates on one page, all the short answer on one page, all the lists (5 reasons why the...) on one page. After it was written, a few reviews was all it took.

I also made up mnemonic devices for the lists. Like ROY G. BIV= the colors of the spectrum. (Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet)

Telling someone else was another good way. I've found that, after I've reread my notes a few times, if I get into a study session and we start quizzing each other, that's the best way to "tell someone." Good luck!

Answer 4

SQ3R is a formula that still applies to studying today.
S Survey the information... look it over, read titles, captions, etc.
Q Question.... ask questions as you survey... what can you expect to learn?
R Read... read carefully for main ideas and important supporting details.
R Recite... look away from the text and recite what those main ideas and supporting details are.
R Review... review all the material in your text AND any classroom notes.

Answer 5

Remember the power of 3. The human brain likes to get info 3 times, 3 different ways to hold onto it. Read it, have it read to you, and write it down.

Answer 6

what really helped me was I take note cards and first I read the the info and then I write it down and while i'm writing it down I'm saying it out loud. So I got the information three times in my mind and when test time came I got a good grade!!

Answer 7

Take a lot of notes... The book will point out what to study; something emphasized or with a picture. Good luck...

Answer 8

Make sure you understand what you are studying. Just learning facts by rote does not work, and won't help in the future.

Answer 9

Really hard.
