when studying I tend to stray away from the key ideas and the key information we need to learn for class. For example, the class would be talking about how Perception affects our brain, therefore a lot of the information would be discussed in class. Some people write a few words to explain to themselves what the teacher is saying, however, I, on the other hand, will write passages in order to record word for word what the teacher is teaching.

when trying to study, there is always a moment in time where I would get distracted and check my phone. This is extremely time-consuming, because who knows for how long will I be online until I stop. I would also tend to communicate with friends when studying, however, this, in turn, backfires, because we would find ourselves talking about a topic unrelated to what we were supposed to be studying about.

as of current, I review my notes last minute. From the start of high school, during tests, I find myself only reviewing my notes at the very beginning of a test. Therefore, I am not getting enough revision time one would need to have. I am completely reliant on my notes too. Therefore, if the test has a question that my notes did not address, I would be at a stump.

save time. By taking notes more efficiently, I would be able to have more time to study for the key details, instead of the other side notes that were irrelevant to the topic.

focus more on my studies. By being distracted with all of these social media and communication, I am setting myself up for failure. I would not be able to concentrate on what I'm studying at all, therefore, when it comes to test, I would not be able to pass the passing mark.

achieve a better understanding on the topic at hand. By doing practice questions, I can, somewhat, predict what is going to be on the test. This skill also applies when taking notes. After taking notes, by reviewing them, I would be able to know what parts I fully understand, and what parts I don't understand. By doing so, I can focus more on my weakness than my strength. By reviewing, I can also look and see where I am confused at, and can seek teacher for help the next day.
