You Can Succeed Every Day
Part 1
My overall study method: I break up studying over several days and over the course of the evening and day. Cramming never works for me so I try not to do it. I will have longer sessions on nights before big test, but I never stay up much later than normal before test. I know that if I take the test tired the next day, I will not do as well if I was rested.
 How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: usually look over the test or paper to see what I did that the teacher did not want. Basically I do not stress out about grades that much because for me they are not worth getting really upset about. I do well because I know that I know the material however, if I get a bad day or one lower than expected I make sure the next time the test is coming I study even more so I won’t be surprised by the questions.

How I deal with multiple projects/tests : when I have more than one test or project, I break up my studying. I will study for one test 30 minutes or so and then switch to the other one. If there is some part of a project that I know will not take me very long, I will do it when I don’t have much time. If I am really in a crunch for time in a specific day, I will study for one test in the morning and the other on a afternoon or night. By breaking up the studying into different sections, I feel like I get much more done. Cram sessions do not work for me. I need to study something for a shorter period of time more often for it to sink

Effective Study Methods
Part 2
My time management secret: My secret is to use time wisely. I know that on certain days I do not have time to run errands or hang out with friends even. Each minute of the day is used for something. One thing that works really well for me is to write down if I am going to email people, write letters or to study. It works for me to have a planner that goes by the day and shows me what I am going to be doing every day. Knowing what I have to do for everyday helps me plan out my week and my days. If I know that I don’t have time on Tuesday, I will try to get more things done on Monday or Sunday. I plan ahead, especially if I am going to be on the road for volleyball. When I am on the road on the bus, plane, and hotel room missing class is a killer to make up from, but if you are up front with your professors, they are usually nice about having to turn things in late or not being in class          `

flash cards


 

Effective study methods part 1

My test study method: when it comes time to study for the test I usually start 2-3 days before the test I go through my notes and make flashcards on what was important for those sections, paying special attention to what the teacher said would be on the test if there was a review session If there are practice problems or online assignments or old tests, I use those to help me study for the test as well. Once the test is over, I keep the flashcards so that I have them for the next test or for the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The key is remembering something is to repeat numerous times-spaced rehearsal. If you forget something, it is because you haven’t repeated for a long period of time. Repetition is a law of learning; therefore , to learn and remember , to recall, it is mandatory that you repeat over and over the things you desire to learn and remember. You may be thinking ‘’oh no’’ repeating something. You need to get used to it for example, the more you practice a song in the piano the better you become at playing that song on the piano the more you practice saying or doing it the better you can remember it because you have been repeated it numerous times since being exposed to it so practice rehearsing those things you desire to remember and they will stick to you
