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 on what the teacher said would be on the test if there was a review session. Also, I go through the book inset stories and add to my flashcards. I also use online assignments and old tests. Once the test is over I keep those flashcards so that I have them for the next test or for the final. Flashcards are a marvelous learning tool. The key to remembering something is to repeat it numerous times-spaced rehearsal. If you forget something it is because you have not repeated it enough times for an extended amount of time.  Repetition is a law of learning, therefore, to learn to learn and remember, to recall, it is mandatory that you repeat over and over the thing 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 on a piano, the better you become at playing that song. Learning and remembering is like playing the piano- the more you practice saying or doing it the better you can remember it. You remember it because you have repeated it numerous times since first being exposed to it. SO, practice rehearsing those things, you desire to remember, and they will stick with you.
