how do YOU study? Options

[Wishful_Dream]

okay okay.. i used the search engine but all i put in was study and all i did was read the topics.. and i saw none like this so yeah.. if there still is a topic out there like this.. well just close this.. anyways, by tuesday i have to remember all my notes for science because my science teacher is giving us around 3 tests each class for i don't know what reason.. i guess he wants to make it hard because now it's for our third term mark.. so yeahsss, i wanna know the best way to study because memorizing isn't working for me, it really hurts my head and i always forget it afterwards.. so yeah, how do YOU study?

Moved to Homework

I really don't know how to study. I read. Meh, that's anough, I guess.

[Wishful_Dream]

Thanks for moving it.. but nobody ever answers in homework..

[silver-rain]

hmm, it depends on the subject i guess. mostly, i just read over my notes a lot and try to understand what i've written, and memorize anything. sometimes, i'll make flash cards or something.

[xXirockhardXx]

I never study thats why i always fail my test or quizes but i dont know when i study the information it never sticks in my head plus i dont even want to talk about science i have a D in that class and my teacher just got fired!!

[ZXCVBNMASDF]

Yes, it really depends on what subject. For Math, I just redo a lot of problems in the math textbook and memorize all the terms and information. For other subjects, I just try to read and memorize important points.

i jus read my notes over and over or do drill and kill

[KissMe2408]

Study the night before, and go over some of the same stuff in the morning. Like, if i have music on in the background then it helps. And i just stay away from the tv and computer lol. And i use word association alot...like when i had to memorize the elements and their symbols a couple of years back i would be like

Fe=iron. because FErris wheels are made of iron

lol stuff like that

1. visit to the libarary
2. find the most quiet lonely seat in the libarary
3. open your note/ text book or whatever your studying for ..
4. write down the facts for each part, header or catagories ..
5. while writing down the facts, try to remember what u just read ..
6. after your done writing down the facts .. review what u wrote ..
7. study it and remember it ..


it helps alot to me ..

[gelionie]

It depends on the subject. If it's for science, make sure you understand all the facts. I don't know, really.

[sammi rules you]

you can't really study for math.
you can memorize other things, and make outlines.

[sweetdreamsx3]

I study with loud music on and a book in front of my face.

[snak3y3z1001]

I just read/skim through books/notes for like 30 mintues. I dont try to remember them. When i take the test, the anwers just comes to me.

[cheri_pi]

the best way is to, as someone already said, UNDERSTAND what the stuff is.
if its just dates or names or something, its harder. with names i try to like make a word out of the name-- when i was doing the revolutionary war and and to remember that a guy named Holden had a newspaper, i thought that 'HOLD'en because people 'hold' newspapers... stupid but it worked.
with dates just say them aloud a bunch of times. say them like 5 times every 5 minutes over the course of an hour, so they stick in ur head. good luck!

[Skyline Drive]

Sometimes I just kind of glance over worksheets and reviews.
I really need to start studying this semester.

[largosama]

studying is easy, provided you follow this short list of don'ts:

- Don't go within 100 feet of the computer
- Don't listen to music that will make you listen to it
- Don't watch TV; studying takes literally 10 times longer
- Don't put your textbook under your pillow; it only makes your neck sore... osmosis doesn't work with information
- Don't forget to take home your subject binder/folder/textbook

Then you plop yourself down and memorize by reading many many times... or in the case of math or anything else that needs practice, do the hardest problems in the chapter and go easier xD

[*Solipsist*]

I don't.
I absorb the necessary info when my teacher gives lectures.
It's easier that way.

[cyber]

er...one thing is to shut off the tv, computer, music, sit in your room and read the material that you have been testing on...and pay attention in class and take notes

[lovescream]

I don't study.
Just.. ermm.. read about whatever you need to study. I guess it's sort of hard to explain.

[iheartsimba]

i make notecards..it just like helps me..it takes a while to make them but its easy to sort out what i know and dont and everything..

Awesome, you seem very intelligence.
Did you got good grades though ?

[*stephinika*]

i re-read notes and stuff...and come on cb. i'm so bad at studying...i get so sidetracked so easily.

[emo_in_urpanties]

study? who sed nething about studying?

[*salcha*]

memorizing doesnt work, you have to GET it.
like in math, if i don't know how to do a problem, then i, most likely, wouldn't know how to do it on a test either right?
look up words AND write sentences for words you dont get, and UNDERSTAND the information you're studying.
