<p>Any study tips for 1) math, 2) science, and 3) social sciences/history?</p>
<p>1) Open the book
2) Read contents
3) Display contents of book on tests</p>
<p>Very fun, joev. Very funny. </p>
<p>Next.</p>
<p>kent state = joev? why did he switch usernames?</p>
<p>its hard to teach study methods since theyre something that are instilled at an early age depending on the quality of school you went to, but i cant try to help.
1) math and science are the most straight forward, for me i take notes on the chapter and save them in my binder. before a test i go back to those notes, and i also sample problems. theres no trick/tip for this one.
2) history is pretty easy, whenever we're assigned reading i skim each chapter, the key is to flesh out the main ideas and not read every single word. this always works for me. i highlight some stuff too, so that i'll have something to share in the class discussion.</p>
<p>Something like that film. They wouldn't let me post for some reason, so I had to create new screenname.</p>
<p>i miss joev</p>
<p>Take digital photos of whatever your teacher puts up on the chalkboard/overhead. That way you can listen while he/she's talking and still have the notes.</p>
<p>get your books and drop them into a pot of boiling water. add noodles and vegetables if desired. after books have turned into a muck, eat it.</p>
<p>jk! :)</p>
<p>Please keep this post helpful guys...I'm looking to improve my grades, not to play around. I'm sorry if I sound mean, but I'd prefer only useful posts...this is a college-oriented website afterall. Thanks.</p>
<p>oh, ok. well, what kind of study-related things do you need help with? organization? remembering things?</p>
<p>Just basic tips on how you study for tests in the 3 subjects I listed.</p>
<p>Math- Read the book, do plenty of practice problems.
Social Science and History- The only thing you really can do is study study study.</p>
<p>I am more of an English/history person so to study for science classes I make stupid sayings to remember things. Play on words works for me. oh and actually read the lessons, skim then read again more slowly.</p>
<p>Writing up Study guides/outlines is very helpful for me, because you are reading the book, writing and paraphrasing the most important parts of it all (writing it out helps me to memorize), and then you have a nice packet instead of a dense book. And use highlighters or colored pens, it will help you to associate facts from one another if you label correctly- and they are just kind of fun. (this is best for history and science.)</p>
<p>For math, you can do this if you are in a class with definitions and such (like statistics). you can also do the practice problems at the end of each chapter and go over old tests if it is a final/cumulative exam.</p>
<p>math- definitely do problems.
science- read and do problems
history-READ. MEMORIZE.</p>
<p>math: problems, problems, problems. recognize the different aspects of the equations you're using for each problem and work at different angles if you're stuck. </p>
<p>science: CONCEPTS. make sure you know them. then problems if you have any. </p>
<p>history: identify common themes and important people. build your knowledge around these keystones.</p>
