You have to agree this picture is absolutely adorable. These are just some studying tips that I should be using throughout the school. I'm also tutoring my sister, so these would be some great stuff that would be able to help the both of us out. I'm a total nerd, because I get 95+ in practically every class, even Gym. Yeah, I'm no jock, but I try super hard, lol.
1. Try to be interactive with your studying. For example, you could be a talk show host talking about the Second World War (if that's what you were wearing) and you could be witty, crack some jokes, speak in a different accent, things that would make it slightly more fun that it would.
2. Figure out what type of learner you are and figure out some specific tips you can use.
3. When you write notes from your school, go home and re-write everything into a pretty notebook. Once you re-write stuff, it'll get imprinted more into your brain and you'll have to do less studying when it comes to tests.
4. Get pretty stuff when it comes to your stationary. Pretty stuff will convince you to come back and study, while ugly stuff is just like, eww...
5. Music can help you with your studying. You might be re-playing a song on your test and suddenly, the information will come flowing back to you.
6. When tackling homework, tackle the easy ones first. It'll give you more confidence to finish the harder stuff. However, if you prefer ending with the easy ones, just reverse the order. Find what fits for you.
7. Use your planner to write down all your homework, because your planner is your best friend. Once you're done with homework or some studying, check it off your planner. It'll make you feel better, accomplished. Alternatively, you could also do this with a to-do list.
8. Create cute little comics for scenes in History or procedures in Science. This is a really easy way to study and once you create comics, you can easily glance over it and then you get most of the important information in this. You also learn while you're doing the comics.
9. When memorizing important things, try using a mnemonic device. For example, say you wanted to learn the order in which the first four colours is presented in a Crayola box. They're red, green, orange, and yellow. Take the first letters of each word and then you get an acronym. Then, make a word with each letter and try to form a sentence that makes sense.
R- "Ridikulus!"
G- George
O- onimously
Y- yelled.
By remembering the sentence, you can remember the order.
10. You can also do acronyms. If you needed to remember the five great lakes of Canada, you would take each letter from the lake's name, put them together, and form an acronym.
H- Huron
O- Ontario
M- Michigan
E- Erie
S- Superior
11. Association is also another way of memorization. Say you were trying to learn the distinction between dessert and desert, you know that sand is in desert and sand only has one 's'. If sand only has 1 's', then desert only has 1 's'.
12. iTunes has some great podcasts of how to study, studying tips, procrastination tips, etc. Make sure to check them out and maybe even download them to your iPod, because most of them are free!
