I need to pull up my grade in Science- what are good study habbits?

Question

I need to get some goood habbits so that science will stay in my brain. It's just the tests i need help with. My teacher gives us the questions, i just can't seem to remember what I've studied.

Ok, I'm in tenth grade science. It's pretty difficult!

Answer 1

OK, i think u should really take notes in class... a couple days before the exam, make yourself a study guide of the notes that you made + his= this will result in better grades and look it over like your entire grade depends on it.

good luck to u!

First, make sure you actually understand what is going on. Don't just make sure you can do the problem, work on understanding the process.

Second, don't just try to memorize. First (as mentionded above) make sure you understand what the process is. Then practice. Try multiple variations of the problems and try problems that use different methods to solve the same type of problem. Your teacher should not have a problem giving you extra study problems that would fit this.

Finally, make sure the environment is optimal for studying. Make sure there are no major distractions. This does not necessarily mean complete silence and seclusion, however. Sometimes things can be too quiet and your mind will start to wander and not concentrate on the studying. If this is your situation, try studying so you still have some minor background noise but no major distractions, like a kitchen table when everyone else is in the family room.

Answer 3

I have read a book on learning before and he said to study in 10 to 15 minute sessions and then take a 5 minute break in between. The break time gives your mind time to process new information. Another thing that helps is to look up all of the new terms in the textbook that you don't know so when you read the book it is not too confusing. Also don't eat any unhealthy foods before studying like candy. And try not too study too late like before you go t bed when you are not alert and awake enough to think clearly.

Answer 4

LISTEN IN CLASS that is the key. i used to get okay grades and i would fall asleep in class and stuff but i got my act together and listened really hard in class even if i was bored as hell iwould still listen hard. when you listen in class you will understand most of the science and wont have to study as much. the second you find out there is a science test, review your notes briefly every night up to the test and make sure you understand all of it. When the test day comes dont panic, a test is just a test and if you panic most likely you wont do well but the more you prepare yourself the less you will panic

Answer 5

1. Study in a quiet, isolated, secluded place where you won't be disturbed or distracted
2. Make it known that you are studying/need to study so no one will bother you
3. Make sure all electronics(tvs, radios, ipods, gamesystems...etc.) are off
4. Make sure you are awake and paying attention to what you are studying for
5. Make sure you have eaten something to get your brain awake, alive, and blood flowing to it

1. Try taking corrnell notes. Fold paper in half and write notes on the right side. On left right questions. fold paper in half so questions are facing up at you. use that to study.
2. flash cards
3. constant repetition
4. making a small tune/jingle to help you remember

these are just a few things you can do

Answer 6

The best thing for memory and concentration is a substance recommended years ago by Life Extension institute. Go to a health food store and get some DMAE, a natural substance with no side effects that costs about $6 or so. I have used it and recommended it to many others who have told me how much it helped them.

Answer 7

I give my students the topics, and they write the questions and answers. It makes you think, not just memorize. Try rephrasing the questions, so you take ownership of them.
ex. topic - acid precipitation
What is acid precipitation?
How is it formed?
What are the effects of it?
The most important part to learning is repetition. Don't wait until the night before the test to learn the information.

Answer 8

Keep asking yourself or your teacher "why" till you really understand what is being taught. When you have to read a chapter, try to understand just the page that you are reading completely. Do not look at the volume of the chapter and get panic. All th best.

Answer 9

Their are some great habbits, dear. All you do is every day bring your book home and quiz yourself. What you can do to really get it in your head is to write everything that is important, when you write your brain becomes more familiar with the "stuff". Also when you read, read aloud. Glad I could help, dear.

Answer 10

If its Bio- try to read it like it's a story. If it's a cycle you need to memorize, try to read it and remember it like a story.

If it's Chem- practice all the math, and just re write the equations over and over again on a piece of paper until it is ingrained into your head

If it's Physics- PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. there is no help with physics...
