Hey everyone!!

Just thought it would be great to start a thread on studying habits. People who have seen great results please respond and let us know how u study and what was effective for you. So others (like me) can take some pointers.

I go to UMass, we don't study. Kidding, well kind of. Not a lot of studying happens on my campus. I just go through my notes. But I have a good memory for lectures so I really don't study much. I just remember everything. I'm blessed.

Well, honestly I don't know if my studying habits will work for you or not. But I'll tell you mine anyways. I'll list what I do in chronological order---

1*I make study guides from what is supposed to be on the test

2*I also use the material that my teacher gives me that is supposed to be on the test. I read over it a few times and the same with the study guide I made.

3*I take breaks between studying so I don't stress myself out... During those breaks I usually listen to music, watch a bit of tv, or take a little nap. *I always set my alarm clock to wake me up so I don't over sleep*

4*Then I just study my material over and over until I feel that its implanted into my brain.

5*Sometimes if I don't get the gist of something such as a vocabulary word. I think of something that is like a clue that way I can match it up with the correct definition whenever I take the test.

6*To be safe, I usually study on the bus as well.

Hope this helps you out.....

I usually study bymyself in the library so I won't have any distractions, but right b4 the test, I'll usually get a study group together. That way we can all help each other. And I think re-writing notes can help you memorize stuff.

i usually close my eyes for few seconds and frame a picture of the page which i am reading. this helps in remembering diagrams and the structure of the theory. this technique can further improved by using a number of coloured pens or pencils in the notes. but this is not primary learning technique. you have to use this with some other primary technique.

I rewrite everything over and over, then I read it over and over. I can't just study my notes, it's not good enough. I actually have a test tomorrow morning. I feel like I am not ready, but I usually don't feel ready anyways.

Drawing the pictures out helps me to remember them too. My GPA is 3.7. :)

I usually get good grades, my main thing is time management. Make sure you set aside enough time for each class.

Everyone learns differently. For me, I tend to write things down, even if they're already written somewhere for me. Like definitions, I'll write (or type) them out, sometimes more than once.

I am a Junior in College right now in Allied Health. I find it is easier to study if you tape record your professors lectures, then go back and rewrite his notes in print, then rewrite them in cursive, then type them out on the computer. That way, you will have looked over all your notes and will have written them out 3 times, read them 3 times, and reviewed them 3 times. It works for me personally.
I also highlight importanant facts in my textbooks, then go over them a thousand times. I am well prepared for all my tests I take. Lowest grade I made on a test in College was a 65%D

My method varies:
go to lectures, take notes, review notes, make flashcards, write and rewrite stuff, have someone call stuff out to me...it depends on the class really. Sometimes I don't study at all just go by memory.

a good study habit is devoting the time to study to start with. I give myself occasional breaks so my mind doesnt feel too packed. I also use a Browsing tool called Browster to help me with my research for homework. It saves me time when studying so I have more time to watch Lost.
