Tell us how you study!!

I read it 2 or 3 times before I go to sleep and once as soon as I wake up. It's worked very well for me while I was in high school and didn't want to put the time in to study.
Just recently I read an article in Discover that says reading before sleeping as a way to study is very effective on most people. Reading before sleeping helps lock it in our minds. Tt didn't say anything about reading in the morning but I did it to help refresh what I've already read the night before.

There are several techniques of studying. Not just one way to study is the right way for all.

I like to read the material first so that I can have a general idea of what the subject is. While I'm reading, I'll use a highlighter for the "important" stuff. After reading the chapters assigned, I will copy any notes I took in class and copy the material I have highlighted in the book. For me, writing seems to firmly plant in my brain what the subject is about.

After doing all that, I read several times what I have written. The repetition also helps with memorization. Before I go into the class for a test, I will go over my notes and skim over the chapters in the book.

This way of studying has done pretty well for me in my college classes. I wish I had used this method while I was in high school. I feel that I would have made better grades then if I had.

Hi Marleysa-being honest i don't really study anyone if I feel strongly enough about a subject I just write it so don't really know what is most effective for me-yor friend littleowl

The time of study depends on the person. I loved to study at night During my exams i used to study even till one o clock . After studying a lesson i would write it out and see whether i remember. That made me sure to remember and recollect during the exam.
i Also revise with my friends what i have learnt.
All the best.

Read, read, read and read it again then take notes on it.

Hi There,

I have gone through sooooo many different ways of studying until I finally found one that works for me. I first read the material that I am studying. Then I actually write it out on paper with the notes in front of me. After that I write it out again without the notes in front of me. I keep doing this until I get it down pat. It does take a long time and many hours and it has to be silent.

cheers,
