Answer 1

This is a typical teenage syndrome, what i can make out of what you said is that you really are a confused person.This particular thing happened to me when i was in my intermediate college,whenever i opened the organic chemistry book i felt sleepy.

when i explained the same thing to my parents they suggested me few tricks which really worked for me

first one : i was asked to get up early in the morning(5:00 am)
second: i was asked to take bath with cold water
third : i was asked to study for an hour the same subject i was reluctant to do.

The result was far more surprising i score 58/60.
Try studying early in the morning.

There are a few different ways to study. The hardest way is to just open the book and attempt to memorize every bit and piece you see in there. That does not work for me.

The way that works best for me is to DO! Now what you might have to DO in each case can be different. In math class, if you don't know how to do an operation, then you need to practice doing problems until you understand how the operation works and get an idea of why it works. I often saw math as one of the easiest classes because there was a right answer. There was a correct way to get there and if done the correct way the answer came out right every different time.

Science is pretty much the same way. There is a right answer. Getting to it though, sometimes requires going different routes. Math is the pathway through science and remembering key facts would actually let you figure out the ones you need to either assume or figure out.

English, history, and the other things where you actually have to memorize stuff to get through it, you have to DO something different. Make flash cards of the key facts. Draw out the maps and trace the paths battles took. Practice your English rules in your everyday speech. Write, write, write.

As you go on in the year, try to do the homework without the book. Then go back and check if you got the process right. Then review review review each night. It might only be one problem review, but a little each night WHILE YOU ARE STILL AWAKE AND AWARE does a lot better the night before a test when you are totally stressed out that you don't remember anything.

Engineering is a great field. I would recommend figuring out what area of engineering you would like to be in (there are a LOT). If you like trying to solve problems and finding ways to improve processes in one way or another, you enjoy the simplicity and reliability of design, and you want to do something like that when you get that far, you are looking in the right field.

Get through school and get the highest grades you can in high school. Involve yourself in as many leadership opportunities as you can find, and once you are done with high school, many colleges will help you get through school.

Answer 3

try writing notes in a separate sheet of paper or highlighting your books to capture the main idea. that way, when you forget what youve been reading, you got the whole jist of it.

although - understanding the material will benefit you MORE than memorizing whatever is in front of you

on the other hand, on being scare about your ambition - remember why you want to be an engineer. ask your guidance counselor if they do like, career placement tests or something. dont follow these careers as is but use them to like, figure out what you want to do with your life :]

Answer 4

Simply put every thing of interest is very easily learned (rather effortlessly). Kids (by the age of 5) catch the lyrics of songs they like in not more then 2 repetitions while they will take ages to learn a poem they hate.
So find out the subjects that interest you the most, based on which you can choose your career. And bet me you will have no problems in learning the subjects you have interest and rather you will learn it effortlessly, and would not even mind losing sleep studying.
Best of luck and happy studying.

Answer 5

The best way to learn is read at the speed you can grasp what you read, understand as you go. Then try to remember whether you have grasped the gist of what you read. Repeat it for all your science studies. Then before you go to sleep remember what you learned. Repeat this on the bed when you awake. Use a table lamp with low power, a blue tinge might help in avoiding distraction.

Answer 6

Try to reduce the amount you read into small sections. Read each section a few times. Then without referring to the book, write down what you think the book said, in your own words. Then re-read the material to see if you got it right. If you prefer not to write, and you can find someone to work with you, you can try to explain the material verbally. In any case, only when you can express it in you own way can you be sure you understand it.

Answer 7

Read it, hear it and do it.
I'll read somthing. If I can I will listen to it either on tape or in the class room. And then I'll "do" it. I'll write it out, or if possible actually do an activity.

If you relly need help try the Sylvan Learning Center. they will test you to find the way you learn best and then help you form good learing habits.

Answer 8

Repetition, Repetition, Repetition, Repetition, Repetition, Repetition! An average person needs to hear something at least six times to remember it. Hope that helps.

Answer 9

write the important things of what u have read...dont memorize it...
