“The mind is just like a muscle - the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets and the more it can expand.” Idowu Koyenikan
Success on assessments is not just about studying harder, it is about studying smarter. The resources shared here can help all students prepare for success on assessments.
Studying Smarter, Not Harder Resources
GET READY. BE READY.
Organize your time and resources in order to plan for success
Prioritize finals that can and will make a difference
Visualize the text/notes to fully comprehend what you are learning
Finalize your understanding and make connections between concepts
Written notes have always been a valuable tool to learn, but voice typing and recording your voice are powerful ways to learn and review.
Voice typing in Google Docs is a quick way to add thoughts and essential concepts to your notes as you review activities or text.
You can also record and share your learning by using quick recording resources like Flip, Screencastify, Soundtrap or another recording resource.
The part of the brain used to process words is quite small in comparison to the part that processes visual images. Sketchnotes and visual-notetaking are great ways to tap into how your brain processes visual information.
