Hello and welcome to our little discussion.
You heard it right! 10 best and effective study techniques for every student.
You don't have to be genius, you don't t have to be left handed, you don't need to purchase glasses. Don't change your hand if you are left handed and don't damp your glasses. Before moving any further, let agree on some phenomena first.
1) SCHOOL/STUDY IS SUCK!!!
2) WE WILL BE HAPPY IF THERE WILL BE NO ASSIGNMENT AND NO EXAMS
3) IT'S NOT A PURE MEASUREMENT OF INTELLIGENCE!!!
Well that is enough for know, if we agree on that let me know in the comment and if you disagree ................ wait and let me know in the comment.
Let start our discussion of today.
This discussion is divided into 3 main components.
These devision is accordingly to scientific researches that school and university do follow.
We can call them Presentation, Revision and Re - presentation.
Its believed that the first step in acquiring of knowledge is to be teached or informed on that knowledge in any way possible.And so how much do you understand the presented topic.
The second part is what will you do after being taught something?
For many of us the answer is neglect it as fast and best we can! But it should be revising as much as we can.
The third part is re-presentation, how well and truly are you going to react on exams questions, re-present what you have been presented at first (at least for about 75% of it).
now do you get the picture!!! Easy huh.
These 10 techniques are the result of this three stages of studying.
PART 1; PRESENTATION.
1) STUDY THE MATERIAL BEFORE CLASS.
Well, if there is something you shouldn't forget the night before school or university day is being ahead of your time. It doesn't have to be perfect, is just have to prepare you with the content and difficulties of the arena. Confused? Before getting to bed make sure you peek on your textbook or even search online on what your teacher is going to cover the next day. Its just 5 minutes of getting aware of the situation. Just get yourself to future! Again no one in your family should be a member of silicon valley for you to do this ,anyone can do this, so do it.
2) TAKE NOTES WHICH YOU CANNOT FIND OR ACCESS ANYWHERE ELSE!
Well taking notes, comeon who cares it's 2021. Notes are important but writing what you can find on the first page of google is wasting of time. Ok before you start any fight with me, let discuss it silently. What I mean is, you have to take notes but this time not for sake of taking notes, but for recording the lecture flow.
Lets say its monday. You have study physics on force topic.
Try to address how lecturer or a teacher is changing from main topic to sub topics, access each sub heading which he/she pass through.Remember just a keypoint and heading names not definitions as these data can be obtained letter on the revision.
See easy again. Told you!
3) TRY TO UNDERSTAND.
Well I can't force you as we got so different types of engines in our heads but try your best to understand. It should not be memorising definition or anything, just understand, feel the knowledge. Before you define earthquake just try to understand it and feel it in your head it's caused by what! No need to remember epicenter or any short wave or any other scary terminologies! JUST TRY TO UNDERSTAND.
If you do these steps in your school time, then you have indeed spent your time well.
PART 2; REVISION.
Well,well well where was I.
The most crucial step and easy to be neglected. Simply if you see this question write revision as an answer without any hesitation.
4) 24 HRS X-RAY VISION.
Well I'm not going to tell anyone that you are super hero, except you. 24 hrs after the first time you receive the information, make your first move. Lets call it the X-RAY VISION PROTOCOL.
We need you to take your first revision. I'm not going to tell you to study on bright light or darkroom, listen to music,bible or quran. Drink tea with brocolli or cofee with chocolate bars. Whatever way you will pass let please meet at the same junction, the same result.
If you will study in the library or toilet is your choice, but the end result should be what we want!
And what exactly we want?
Successfully X-RAY REVISION SHOULD END AFTER YOU MEET THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS.
a) You make sure you can teach someone, the whole lecture by using your few kewords notes we take on first part.
How to achive this?
Search for the full notes on internet and try to understand them. The search should be monitored by the first draft notes(keypoints in which your teacher pass through).
Understand and creat your own notes, from you head, again definition of terms is not neccessary!
Teach someone the whole lecture by using the initial key points.
5) 3-DAYS WONDER CONCRETE REVISION.
After three days from the 24 hrs protocol its time for construction.
One statement before we start is "I KNOW THIS TOPIC NAME"
Again I repeat whatever suit you if its brocolli or chocolate , ac or fan, tv on or off. We should meet at the same spot.
●This time You should aim for memorising the definitions.
But how?
Again I can't force you to use mnemonic, brain storm or method of palace just choose one, apply and we are ready to roll.
Before you are tired with this, try to make sure you teach someone the whole lecture with definition memorised package pre installed. Flow by using the same first day notes with brain capacity of 20 TB.
If you forget any definition, peek a little and start again.
6) 7 -DAYS AWAKENING OF THE GENIUS.
After 7 days from the wonder concrete revision do another revision.
SPOILER ALERT, DON'T OPEN YOUR NOTES. Take a piece of paper and start awakening process, full throttle upto the edge of your power. Start explaining the topic with definition memorised one by one, consider this as a final exam. Get your results by compairing with your second draft notes.
See I told you you will forget, I hate it ,you hate it but that is how to awakening the genius inside you. Don't be tempted to view the notes before writing your sample first. No one or nothing can be hurted by that process.
7) 7-DAYS RUN YOUR OWN MINI SCHOOL.
creat a mini school out of chairs or anything you can get into your hand and then try to dtart teaching.
This time however is hand free, no first draft and no 2 draft. Just you and your virtual audience. You can act like any movie charater you like when you teach your student.
You can space these revision and call them any names you want from now on upto the test week.
ANOTHER THING BE HAPPY, REVISION AND ANGRY MODE IS NOT A GOOD FLAVOUR WHEN MIXED.
PART 3; RE-PRESENTATION.(EXAMS, TEST, FINAL EXAMS, GCCA, XYZ)
Well who invent it?
The answer which i do provide for that is "it wasn't me"?
Again Is it the best method to measure the intelligence of the students?
Again not to my understanding.
If you agree tell me in the comment, if you dont again you know the rule, wait and then comment.
But whatever our position on this we all face exams, the one who like and the ones who doesn't like it. The option which remains for us is to plan for it.
HOW?
8) MAKE SURE YOU ARE GOOD IN HEALTH THE DAY OF EXAMS.
well how I will guarantee that?
Well strange species do exist. Ihave met peoples who goes to parties the night before exams day!
If you dont use cofee then don't use it night before exams.
Do sleep early. If you follow me from the beginning upto know then you are sure that you know stuff, and there is no need for all night studying session.
9) DO EXAM WTH AIM OF GETTING BEST RESULT BUT NOT PERFECT
To be ignorant is problem but to be smart on something could also be problem. You should be an accepting person. Aim for top but not for forcing it but by answering question of exams as best as you can.
If you aim to help any friends during exams, then plan to help before the exams so as to avoid this in the exam room.
10) BRAGG HAS NEVER BENEFITS ANYONE!!!!
IIf The results comes and you get good result, be polite and help others. If you get poor results be polite and respect other and look where you fall and reinforce it.
