Share your most effective study methods here! I’ve been trying to make it a habit to study more, and figure out the most effective method for me. I’m currently testing the note rewriting method.
Input helpful and welcome for all grades!
It all depends on the subject for me. For math or chemistry, I just redo most of the problems we’ve worked on during the unit and focus on my areas of weakness and review concepts. For a class like English, History, and sometimes Chemistry, pounding the material into my head works out pretty well. Rewriting notes just doesn’t work for me, so I just note down all major concepts and material that I should review 10 minutes before the test so it’s fresh.
Studying over a long period of time helps me retain more information than cramming the night before. I read over my notes and try to find unique ways to remember the things I need to know… I remember back in my sophomore year, I remembered the charges of cations and anions by think of cats as good (+) and onions as bad (-). This might sound silly, but do whatever you need to do to improve your memorization of important information.
