Studying is important in the life of being a student, but it is
important to note too that it should not just be just studying but
making sure it is effective and you are able to get good grades as well.
For sure, you have discovered your own effective ways to study, but it
could also be helpful to find out what others are also doing to help you
find ways to do better.
Here are 10 effective ways to study that you might want to check and try for yourself.
(1) Keep yourself organized. It does not only apply to the materials you have to study. An orderly study area can also help make your mind stay focused on what you are studying. It will also help you avoid distractions as you go along with your studying.
(2) Make an outline. Not being able to determine where to start studying can be a roadblock to studying. An important technique to be able to study effectively is to have a guide on what to study and where to begin.
(3) Use acronyms. One popular mnemonics used in studying is using acronyms. You can also use rhymes as well. We are all familiar with Roy G. Biv representing the seven colors of the rainbow and so many other mnemonics. Truly, these are simple but effective ways to study.
(4) Use acrostics. The use of acrostics has been popular and is indeed effective in helping you recall what you have studied - not only in short term but also for a longer time. In music, 'Every good boy does fine' is a popular acrostic of the notes in the treble clef.
(5) Sing it. One technique that you can apply in improving your memory especially with subjects that are not quite interesting to you is to add tune into it. Especially for long items and lists, adding a popular nursery-rhyme tune or a familiar tune might help you remember concepts easily.
