i need some tips on studying and remembering?

Question

tactics, wat to eat....etc

Answer 1

Yes, first create a list of assignments, tests and projects that you have coming up. Get you assignments for the next day over.

Than decide which test you feel you need to study the most for. Take notes out the book, summarize your notes from class or the text, create flash cards over facts, key terms, etc. Create a game, such as Jeopardy, to help make it more fun. Study with a buddy. (This can be a great help when you are confused over something.)

Then work on projects.

If you have additional time, look the various subjects you are studying and gain more information.

I know many people believe that working on projects and doing assignments are not a form of studying, but like I tell my students, you learn when complete assignments and apply the skills.

Also, if you do not have a note taking method, apply the Cornell method of note taking. It's simply dividing the paper into three different sections. Two are vertical, and the third is horizontal (see link below). On one of the vertical sections, jot down questions. The questions come from rewording heading, sub-headings, key terms, places, and locations into questions, and the questions found in section and chapter reviews. On the second vertical side (should be bigger, to contain more information,) write down the answers to these questions. On the horizontal portion, summarize your notes. This works well for text like English, science, or history.

Another method might be to create a concept map or flow chart. This works well with reading and math.

Finally, if you’re taking notes over a novel or short story, try answering the following questions after every chapter or section:

1. Who are the major characters?
2. Who are the minor characters?
3. What is the over tone/ mood of the chapter (section)?
4. What is the plot?
5. What is the setting?
6. Do any of the characters change for the better or worse?
7. How do the minor characters contribute to the major characters?
8. What is the overall theme or meaning behind the chapter (section)?
9. How do I feel about the story after reading this section? Have my feelings change from the beginning of the story? If so, how?

Then summarize about the chapter or section.

Good luck in studying

P.S. If you keep a planner and use it to record school assignments, tests, and projects during your classes, it will help you to plan out your study time. Also, someone earlier mentioned combining different learning styles. This is an excellent suggestion. The more you get it in different modes, the more you are likely to learn and remember.

Answer 2

There is a program called" Where there is a will, there's an A."
The main idea is to study every day. Not the way you think. If you are in high school this may be a bit difficult, but still works. The idea is to look over all your daily notes from your classes. After the class, when you get home, etc. Just continue to read them, over and over, from beginining(the first day) 'til the end. by the time the exam comes,you will already know the majority of the content and "KNOW" it, not memorized it.

This reading should only take about ten -thirty extra minutes of studying time(total, not every class),and in the long run, less stress, higher grades. I should know, I went fron being on probation for grade my freshman year of college to getting A's and B's my Senior year!

As for diet, cut out the junk and sugary stuff, and try to eat more healthy and drink more water. I know hard to do, but you will be more alert and feel better.

Answer 3

If you have to learn material out of a book, try reading quickly. Don't give up on it; the brain works more effectively when you read faster. Think about it; you can see a series of colors and pictures at once. Why shouldn't you be able to do the same with words/concepts? The faster you read, the more your brain has to work at it, and the more adjusted it will become. I physically move my eyes to go a little faster while reading; if you can feel it, you're probably doing it right. If you're an auditory learner or believe you may be, focus on your teacher and listen in class instead of taking notes. I happen to do both; I never take notes or write unless I am forced to, and it works well enough for me. (Valedictorian giving advice, so please count it for something)

Answer 4

I find that writing down the main information (as many times as I have to) is the only way that I truly get the info into my head.

Also, the night before the test, I read all of the information over, and do the same as soon as I wake up in the morning.

This really helps me, hope it helps you. :)

Answer 5

Combine audio , visual , & writing. Create a cassette tape of info you want to study....Read along text or written script of tape as you listen. Make outlines if you are so inclined.

Answer 6

I found if I needed to memorize something that if I wrote it down, read it our loud to myself when I took the exam I could hear myself say it ot see it on paper. I am a Summa cume laude. I can spell but Q&A will not let me.

Answer 7

My junior teacher put opera or classical music on when we were studying and testing. i dont know what you should eat but if you write something down more than likely you'll remember.
