What I Do To Help Me Study



My Easter Holidays are (unfortunatelly) ending, wich meens back to school time, so I thought I'd share with my top six tips to help you study in preparation for tests and quizzes.
  • Have a study notebook and make summaries of the subjects
This will help you memorize the subject. What I do is take the book, read it and, as said before, do a summary of what it says and maybe add some notes you take in class (wich also helps).

  • Turn off all gadgets
When studying, you'll do better in an enviorment where there's no music or social media to distract you. Some people say that it help's them concentrate, but for me, it doesn't.

  • Practice, practice, practice
This one especially for Maths and Physics and Chemistry. Of course you can memorize the formulas, but practicing will help you understand them.

  • Highlight
Highlight both the book and your study notebook, but don't just paint them with fluerescent yellow and orange. Highlight the main words, maybe a scentence here and there.


  • Have someone ask you questions
This way you will see if you understood it and wich parts need a little more studying.


  • Use flashcards
If you can't have anyone ask you questions, flashcards are the next best thing. Just put a question in the front, and the answer in the back and that's it!



I hope this helped you somehow, all of these together work really well! If you have some suggestions, be sure to let me know in the comments and I will see you soon with another post!
