It is proven that your brain associates habits or patterns
when you are doing a task. For example if you love music you can listen to
music while you study so that way you brain can analyze the studying material
and associate it with the music this also works with gum chewing. But different
people have different perspectives on studying methods and try different things
to help them study. Such as writing/ typing the material with help you remember
it a lot better. You can also uses these habits to help your studying go better
and more successful.
10
successful studying habits
1. Get Organized. Making a plan for what you're
going to do and when you're going to do it will make sure you're always ahead
of the curve - literally.
2. Don't multitask. Studies have shown that
multitasking is physically impossible.
3. Divide it up. Studying isn't fun to begin
with, and forcing yourself through a study marathon will only make it worse.
Dividing your work into manageable chunks and rewarding yourself when you
finish each chunk will make studying (more) fun.
4. Sleep. Don't underestimate the
importance of those eight hours of zzz's every night! Getting a good night's
rest will sharpen your focus and improve your working memory.
5. Set a schedule. Do you work better right after
school or after you've eaten dinner? Are you more productive in 90-minute
blocks or half-hour spurts? Find a schedule that works for you, and stick to
it.
6. Take notes. Taking notes will not only keep
you more engaged during class, but will also help you narrow down what you need
to study when exam time rolls around It's much easier to reread your notes than
to reread your entire textbook!
7. Study. This one might be obvious, but
did you know that there's a right and a wrong way to study? Review your material
several days ahead of time, in small chunks, and in different manners (for
example, write flashcards one day and take practice tests the next). In other
words, don't cram.
8. Manage your study space. Find a place that will maximize
your productivity. Look for places away from the television and other
distractions. Whether it's your local library or just the desk in your bedroom,
set aside a study space that you'll want to spend time in.
9. Find a study group. Sitting down with a group of
people who are learning the same things as you is a great way to go over
confusing class material or prepare for a big test. You can quiz each other,
reteach material, and make sure that everyone is on the same page. After all,
teaching someone else is the best way to learn.
10. Ask questions. You're in school to learn, so
don't be afraid to do just that! Asking for help - from a teacher, a tutor or
your friends - is a surefire way to make sure you truly understand the
material.
