Last week our school held a National Final Examination Try out and the results are extraordinary, only 4 students who meet graduation requirements of 112 participants. When I asked, why could the result is very disappointing, the average similar responses of the students that they are no preparations. Try Out a sudden held without prior notice. And this is their honest answers "Sir we only learn when the time approached the test or exam, because if we often learn, we quickly get bored and there's nothing we can absorb from the study.
Yes they get bored quickly because they have not implemented an effective way of learning. Here is the Effective Way of Study, namely :
1. Make sure you are in a quiet place where you will not be interrupted by the doorbell, phone, or email.
2. Set a flat amount of time that you will study (say, for an hour) and stick to it.
3. Make sure you have a light snack and something to drink.
4. Maybe you study better with music? Keep the volume low and keep it coming.
5. If you are studying for long periods of time, make sure you get up stretch and walk around a bit every half Hour, Make sure you pick a time of day to study when you are at your best. If you are not a morning Person don't study in the morning
6. Take notes as you study. Writing down what you need to learn will help you retain information and Knowledge
7. Reward yourself after you are done studying. This could be with a small treat such as a Chocolate bar, a Hamburger or listen music from iTune or Ipod
But studying is not just think about "studying" . It needs time and practice and the want to do it. First of all you have to give time . Studying at the last minute is a waste of time. And you may be asking now when is the best time to study. The best time to study is when you are rested but alert. I am a Teacher before and my way of studying and it was effective on me when I get all my resources and summarized all the important details. I rewrite it as I make an outline and as I write it in my notes I also read it as it gets into my mind. I put on a soft music as it relaxed me. And after all the taking of notes are done, I write questions randomly . After writing the questions I read the questions aloud and answer it aloud.
