1. How to Study Well
So you need to study for tests, but you don't really know how to study
that well. Lucky for you, that problem ends here! Follow these simple
steps to learn how to study well!
2. 1
Have a good space to study. You need a desk or a table with a lot of space. You also
need good lighting, so that you're able to see what you need to be studying. This place
should be somewhere quiet, where you can study without being distracted by the TV or
other family members.
3. 2
Know what your learning style is. If you're a visual learner, you might need to
highlight your notes. If you're a verbal learner, you may need to make a song out of
your notes. If you're a kinesthetic learner, you might need to act out your notes. Your
learning style is a big part of studying success, because if you're not studying in a way
that complements your learning style, the information won't sink in very well.Make
some flash cards if they will help you learn.
4. 3
Take breaks. Study for 20 minutes at a time, and then take a 10 minute break so that
the information sinks in. This is a tried and true learning method. When you're feeling
overwhelmed, take a break, let the stuff you just learned sink in, and come back to it.
Repetition is the key to studying well.
5. 4
Test your knowledge. After you think you've learned everything you need to know,
have a friend/family member quiz you on it, or make up a quiz for yourself, then hide
your notes and fill it out. Take back your notes and correct your little quiz and see how
you did. Did you get all the answers right, or do you need to study some more?
6. 5
Avoid Cramming. For most people, cramming (studying for something the night before)
doesn't really work. Most people need a few days to review their notes for the
information to really sink in. Don't cram, because even if you study properly, usually
cramming doesn't work too well anyway.
7. 6
Decide what you want to study and make clear goals. Make note to use books as the primary
resource for additional information as the Internet may not have reliable information.
8. 7
Be Confident. Before studying the most important thing is to have confidence in
yourself. Keep in mind that "I can do anything". Nothing is impossible.
9. 8
Work Hard. Don't just sit around and study without any importance. If you really want
to be top, first take steps to train yourself to become a good student. Try your level
best.
10. 9
Have a goal. Some students may study so that they are told to/forced to/time pass.
Try to achieve that goal by studying hard.
11. 10
Be Attentive and Interested. You have to be interested and attentive on the subject
you are studying. Don't study when watching TV/hearing music/and distractions that
turn your mind from studying. Concentrate on the topic you are studying.
12. 11
Be confident, avoid thinking that you have this as your last chance. Relax and
breathe. You would get many chances, only if you give the honest effort. try your best
