<p>Does anyone have any study tips that can make studying more enjoyable so that I don't completely lose determination during my senior year? Currently, I really like to re-outline stuff, highlight it as I actively read, and then shrink the outline once I'm more familiar with it and quiz myself (I hope that makes sense). So basically, I like things that are hands-on. I'm not the type of person who can read an entire textbook chapter. Thanks!</p>
<p>That sounds nutty. I always thought over-analyzing like that was more confusing to me, and I was more likely to forget things. I had a 2-page reading section out of a larger packet that I was going to be quizzed on, I read the whole packet twice and read that one bit at least 30 times, and it was the only quiz I didn’t get a 100 on. Totally blanked on stuff I should’ve known.</p>
<p>I think that reading through the whole entire chapter at least once is a start. I can’t help you much from there, because I naturally synthesize this stuff in my head and remember it well. Sorry.</p>
<p>My advice would be to start paying particular attention to topics that are gonna be related to your major in college, if you already have a major in mind. Since senior year is otherwise kind of a grind (especially after college apps and 1st semester), it helps if you take the attitude of “I should try hard in this class because it will be important in college,” etc.</p>
<p>Alternatively, “I should try my hardest because giving up is not an option.”</p>
<p>That’s kind of how I think of it. If I give up and start slacking, I know no good is coming out of it. But I enjoy school, so meh.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone! I’m taking three courses related to my intended major so hopefully that will help me stay motivated.</p>
